satisfactory

[west jackal]

there is always an input slot if you try hard enough..

[low ingot]

but, once you unlock the ability to use a somersloopps, use a somersloop when putting the slugs throguh a constructor, itll give you double

[real shale]

If it's a sealed unit how are we drinking coffee then

[torpid estuary]

yes and yes

[tall lantern]

tell that to your Packager

[jagged nymph]

what if you eat a somersloop

[leaden turret]

[redacted] [redacted] unit?

[leaden turret]

hermetically sealed connector in thumb of suit

[west jackal]

that unkown link that mein sent will take you to someone with similiar issue. if you epic and steam are linked, try unlinking epic from your steam account

[leaden turret]

also that is one merch idea I don't want to ping dave about

[west jackal]

Marv how does one qualify for Pioneer role

[real shale]

Ping him anyway

[leaden turret]

[west jackal]

id like a somersloop plush... or candy?

[torpid estuary]

yeah I just read through it

[real shale]

I want the pioneers gloves

[jagged nymph]

oohh somersloop candy

id buy it

[fierce valley]

double pioneer = more work = closer to saving humanity

[leaden turret]

Lead Pioneers - Secret Society
Pioneers - Not quite Lead Pioneers

[torpid estuary]

The thing is, sometimes it works and once the game runs it is rather stable

[leaden turret]

I think I once pinged dave about getting a somersloop ice cube mold

[jagged nymph]

somersloop would be like a ring pop type candy and mercer sphere would be a gummy

[west jackal]

thats really informative lol

[west jackal]

ice cube mold would be cool, what did he say

[leaden turret]

yup

[real shale]

Remember, to show your true commitment to FICSIT you are required to legally change your name to Pioneer to work there (actual lore)

[torpid estuary]

so I might just keep doing things the way I am right now because I too have rocket league and would not want issue in that game

[tall lantern]

I'm not sure I've seen any new [Lead] Pioneer members like... ever

[west jackal]

so is pioneer a role for someone that works for CSS?

[real shale]

no CoffeeStainer is for CSS

[leaden turret]

in addition to dave being busy running heroic replicas, I may have pissed them off with how I vented my frustration about the poor quality of the boombox merch

[low ingot]

we just wanna change our name color 😭

[tall lantern]

okay except snoot/juice, though tbf I haven't seen them in here since the switch

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> if someone with the Pioneer role gets hired by CSS, do they get the Lead Pioneer role as part of the hiring bonus? 😛

[leaden turret]

fyi: things the local transcription service transcribes "snutt" as:

• Snoot
• Snit
• Snut

[ornate saffron]

read #welcome

[leaden turret]

fingers crossed for Snütt appearing in the transcriptions at some point

[west jackal]

that does not explain how one gets pioneer

[tall lantern]

snewt

[leaden turret]

what part of secret society does not seem secret? 😛

[west jackal]

i want on the inside 😠

[ornate saffron]

the lack of free flowing information should be all lyou need.

Dont worry ADA thinks you are a pioneer

[tall lantern]

if you haven't been invited yet, you've got no hope sadly

[leaden turret]

as my granny used to say, "I wants never gets"

[west jackal]

no ada makes fun of me constantly for deaths 🙂

[west jackal]

nuts 🙁

[torpid estuary]

what's the current meta on fuel setups?

[tall lantern]

fuel into fuel gen

[west jackal]

meta? theres no meta, diluted fuel is very nice though

[ornate saffron]

never said she thought you werent inefficient

[leaden turret]

I remembered that question I keep forgetting to ask on-stream.

shall we take bets as to whether I forget it before the slido page opens tomorrow? 😅

[tall lantern]

set a reminder

[west jackal]

i think shes said something about other pioneers being more effecient not dying as much? cant remember was at 4am or smth

[warm finch]

make the bets available on polymarket? lol

[torpid estuary]

I was toying around with diluted fuel and the turbo blend fuel but I don't see how turbo blend fuel is better

[ornate saffron]

no stream tomorow. Still mentally ill. only curable by more fire red pokemons

[torpid estuary]

yeah diluted fuel is very nice

[west jackal]

well turbo blend makes a lot more power per crude

[warm finch]

mandatory with HOR as well

[leaden turret]

pokémon plagues, gotta catch 'em all

[torpid estuary]

HOR?

[west jackal]

nah deaf just make a LOT of rubber

[tall lantern]

all parts of fuel generation are just effectively converting other resources into oil

[west jackal]

heavy oil residue alt

[warm finch]

Heavy Oil Residue alt recipe

[torpid estuary]

I got that, too

[tall lantern]

turbofuel? that's just making coal+sulfur into more oil

[warm finch]

no. bad! bad! go nitro...

[west jackal]

im skipping tf

[tall lantern]

nitro rocket fuel? nitrogen is now more oil

it's oil all the way down

[west jackal]

im procrastinating the RCU/aluminum plant

[warm finch]

my favorite, tbh. other than having to give up my precious VIP junctions. RIP. want some help?

[torpid estuary]

sure? With diluted fuel + turbo blend fuel I can feed 32 fuel gens with 720 crude. If I skip the turbo blend and only use diluted, I feed the same 32 generators with just 432 crude

[warm finch]

now compare to nitro rocket fuel

[west jackal]

im not against help, but i spent the last dozen hours in game trying to design railroads that im happy with

they look good (i think) untill i try and make intersections, either end with floating tracks or ugly platforms 🙁

[tall lantern]

32? I get 64 I think

[ornate saffron]

nitro rocket fuel power 240 Generators clocked at 240% for 600 oil (plus coal,sulfer and nitrogen)

[tall lantern]

720 oil, DPF, Turbo Blend makes 480 turbofuel. 1 gen needs 7.5/min, so that's 64 gens

[torpid estuary]

ok, but I thought we were talking about turbo blend fuel?

[west jackal]

its way more than 32 from 720 crude??

[warm finch]

why not make custom platforms specific for junctions?

[torpid estuary]

#screenshots message

[west jackal]

i was going to, but im not sure what to make them look like. especially on a two tier platform

[torpid estuary]

here is my comparison of diluted fuel vs. diluted + turbo blend

[west jackal]

flummi diluted fuel with 720 crude power 96 generators (at 100% clock)

[warm finch]

I never talk TF other than to say nitro is a far better investment, timewise

[tall lantern]

with just DPF I get 960 fuel from 720 oil, fuel's 20/min so that's 48 gens

[torpid estuary]

well I need power now. I don't have nitro yet 😭

[warm finch]

that's why you do temporary diluted fuel generators to hold you over

[tall lantern]

fuel: https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=e07sjclsnnxd18DAAzUr
turbo blend: https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=WrLU0ZkciogPk9IPAmpM

[torpid estuary]

hmmhm

[west jackal]

your numbers are WAY off

720 oil makes 1920 fuel

[tall lantern]

they didn't mention HOR

just diluted fuel and turbo blend

I'm using exactly what they said

[torpid estuary]

he is fine

[west jackal]

i mean... diluted is foolish without HOR 😉

[torpid estuary]

I don't need to be a they

[warm finch]

gender neutral is a safe bet. If you prefer a specific pronoun, feel free to add it in () in your name

[tall lantern]

turning on HOR doubles both, so good obviously, but doesn't affect the ratio

[ornate saffron]

i get 1600 fuel for 600 oil and

800 for a 300oil nod.

that means 750 would be 2000 fuel

to be clear im going HOR to packaged Diluted fuel

[west jackal]

okay fine. but it makes it seem like a bigger difference

[tall lantern]

HOR+DPF: https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=a4nVms5WNNM0ezzsaWs0

[west jackal]

he said 720, which is 1920, its a weird number but im guessing not max OC on extractors

and yes i do HOR directly to dpf in one bp, i showed it to you before 🙂

[ornate saffron]

🤷 just doing head math quickly with numbers i know.

In the end eveyones experience is going to be different. Its okay to go against the grain. A lot of gorwth is made taht way tbh

[west jackal]

i knoww

[ornate saffron]

personally my goal whiile helping ppl here is giving them infromation and letting them make decisions with it

[tall lantern]

(fwiw a site like Tools makes it a lot easier to build up and compare recipe chains than having to math it out manually, though obviously some of you are sickos like that 😜 )

[west jackal]

but diluted fuel with HOR alt is like a cowboy without his hat

[zenith pecan]

I display a lot of crap mostly to inspire people with their builds and even get some feedback that I can use because I'm not the most imaginative individual around.

[torpid estuary]

ok so when do I use turbo blend? Not for power it seems

[zenith pecan]

I ran a small scale turbo bkend build for making turbo ammo.

[west jackal]

ammo or for rocket

[zenith pecan]

Underclocked dual blender.

[tall lantern]

when you want 33.333...% more power for whatever extra input it requires

[ornate saffron]

if you want to go for it. You can beat the game with just regular fuel though. Getting more experience in with fluids and machine spacing is always good espicially when you are new. Not everything needs to be about min maxing

[torpid estuary]

nah I am not new

one of my screenshots ended up on the Satisfactory blog even

and that thing is so old it no longer exists

[ornate saffron]

never siad you were. this is a open forum and people lurk

[torpid estuary]

all good

[leaden turret]

web.archive.org

[tall lantern]

turbo blend basically converts some sulfur into some oil and a bunch of water

[torpid estuary]

I think I tried the archive and the blog was not indexed sadly

[zenith pecan]

I do have a penchant for building outside of the rules though.

[torpid estuary]

I was wrong! It is there! haha

damn, I can't post links here

[leaden turret]

#off-topic-media or dm?

[torpid estuary]

can't post links there either. Sad.

[west jackal]

yeah someone posted invite link for modding discord yesterday but i couldnt

[leaden turret]

we got command for that tho

[warm finch]

bruh you take that back. you are EXTREMELY imaginative and creative.

there you can see part of the blog too

hahah I remember seeing that and trying to wrap my head around it

[west jackal]

i dont know the cmds

i screwed up bc i got too locked into satisfactory

[leaden turret]

☝️

[west jackal]

burnt the crap out of my dogs treats 🙁

[torpid estuary]

haha really? no way!

[warm finch]

pretty sure your dogs should be eating those treats. You shouldn't be burning them

[torpid estuary]

I am also the reason the pun rule got added 🙈

[warm finch]

yeah probably back when I first started out in U6/U7

[leaden turret]

@north cloud is it feasible for the link whitelist to regex ^https:\/\/web\.archive\.org\/web\/\d+/satisfactorygame\.com\/ ?

[west jackal]

sorry bad grammer, dog's

but i make them for him because he gets seizures and they went down a lot after stopping milk bones

[ornate saffron]

for sdome reason i think the dogs will still like them

[west jackal]

maybe, when they cool ill see. he likes crunchy things... so maybe. But worst case scenario they are mostly just canned pumpkin and flour lol

not expensive, just will have to make another batch

and this time set a timer or not play sat

[warm finch]

I knew what you meant, had to tease you about it lol.

But yeah milk bones are no good. I try to avoid any dog treats with gluten, cow hides, or anything made in china.

[ornate saffron]

we just cut up hotdogs and put them in the oven on low forever until they were completely dehydrated.

[west jackal]

The only store bought ones he gets anymore are the american journey oven baked peanut butter

[near mural]

my dogs are lwk fat as hell because my parents be feeding them

[west jackal]

sorry for getting us off topic. but i DO blame satisfactory for this. the game is too much fun i screwed up

[ornate saffron]

I turneed it off as i am cooking

[warm finch]

but did you get screw(ed)?

[zenith pecan]

My architecture seldom changes as I usually just go with what works at the time, detailed here #design-and-architecture message

[warm finch]

Still, take back your negative comment about yourself because it simply isn't true.

[west jackal]

uh. no. screws suck

[warm finch]

you take that back as well. screws do not suck, they screw. big difference

[ornate saffron]

screws are fine. i dont get the hate

[warm finch]

@torpid estuary did this break the pun rule? lol

[torpid estuary]

gotta ask the mods, not me

[dense violet]

just build them right before they are used. Easy peasy.
And steel screw just simplifies everything

[torpid estuary]

I think it was rather tame as far as puns go

[warm finch]

I don't even know what pun rule is

[torpid estuary]

I think I made some terrible train puns right around when those were added

[warm finch]

or cast screws. but yes 100%

[warm finch]

Have an example?

[torpid estuary]

it's been years

it was a spur of the moment thing

[warm finch]

You come across as a punny guy. I'm sure you can come up with one

[torpid estuary]

I wonder if the discord search could dig it back up

[warm finch]

sigh... I need to get back to work cleaning/organizing the garage before I can run a train on satisfactory

[torpid estuary]

and I need to go to bed. It's approaching midnight

[warm finch]

GN

[torpid estuary]

indeed. gn8!

[ornate saffron]

ni ni

[fierce valley]

gn!

[west jackal]

i know, i was just joking, i dont have anything against them

just so much propaganda

[west jackal]

he uh, indeed ate them

[glad leaf]

My lizard doggo found a nuke

[hazy void]

how to i unlock the other trees in the mam?

[ornate saffron]

by finding the associated materials

essentailly explore and pick up everything

[ornate mountain]

Just curious, what's the take on geothermal generators? Is it worth having some up, or not really worth hooking them up onto a main power grid?

[dense violet]

basically free power? good for charging up distant things

I used one to charge up a power storage building to kick start my 15,000mw fuel power plant

and by 15,000mw I mean it needed that much just to start running. Was only making about 7000mw at the time

[ornate saffron]

free power. if you are the kind of player that wants to see flat lines in your power graph you should avoid

[ornate mountain]

I just recently had to kick start a fuel generator set up using my main grid which was only producing ~4,000mw at the time

[ornate mountain]

Yeah... that was the thing that bothered me with the geothermals the most. I like seing consistency if I can help it

[dense violet]

yup!
and you can keep the geo+power storage unlinked to your power system to kick start it back up afte ra disastrous crash too

though priority power switches also fix that

[storm hull]

this game so addicting

[ornate mountain]

I've been adding priority switches to my main grid, but after the recent fuel generator setup I had, I don't think I'll have any crashes any time soon at least

[unkempt blade]

uh oh, famous last words

[ornate mountain]

I've been on that streak recently lmao

[dense violet]

very fair 🙂 I still like the idea of having a big kick starting building even if I don't need it though

[ornate mountain]

Like a dedicated battery platform or tower?

[dense violet]

basically? the last one I made was a concrete bunker looking building nestled in my fuel factory. Looked cool.

[west jackal]

just make sure power generator is highest priority

[west jackal]

if you want it for kick starting, it needs to be on a switch so it doesnt just drain

[ornate mountain]

Ohhh, that makes more sense. I do have a lot of excess power, so now might be a good time to make a kickstarting battery tower then yeah, have a switch attached.

[humble osprey]

Ik there's a seperate server for mods but can I at leat ask for mod suggestions here?

[feral jay]

Here's my current set of vanilla friendly mods:

• Cartograph
• Remote Factory
• Construction Preferences
• Effeciency Checker
• Empty Small Belt Sections
• Flashlight Settings
• Gardener's Toolkit
• Infinite Nudge
• Just Pause
• Outline Loot
• Power Checker
• Remove Empty Dimensional Stacks
• Show Machine Info

[humble osprey]

Thank you! Will check them out!

[feral jay]

Remote Factory is kinda a cheat because it allows you to interact with machines without travelling to them, and it has a teleport feature.

[zenith pecan]

My base will have a teleport feature when I demolish and rebuild my singularity facility into one that doesn't suck a lux.

[feral jay]

Ah @zenith pecan I shamelessly stole your design #screenshots message

[zenith pecan]

All there to add variety and choice for peoples designs, fair play 🙂

[feral jay]

I was scrolling through the screenshot channel looking for ideas and that one jumped out at me

It's relatively easily blueprintable is what I really like about it

[zenith pecan]

I'm currently designing a pure quartz facility that will feed into making another 60 oscillators atm, the structure is going to be quite wierd.

[zenith pecan]

Most of my structures are unique, built bespoke based on the machines in it, the exception is in the spire coast, there are 23 identical structures there processing the entire zone.

[hazy topaz]

How would yall build a belt highway blueprint for 9 belts?

[versed cosmos]

easy just do a 3x3 grid

fits on one foundation

[hazy topaz]

Stacked on top?

[versed cosmos]

yeah

[glad leaf]

my game keeps saying therea a fuse blown but i only have one power grid

and its not shut down

[leaden turret]

if you accidentally disconnected something, that'd be a separate grid

[glad leaf]

but i would know because i only have one active generator

[true mulch]

the wiki seems to be down

[glad leaf]

my conputer crahsed and then all the settings got ereased from my game

[hazy topaz]

is there anyway to integrate pillars to make it look nice

[versed cosmos]

sure but idk how you'd wanna do that

its ultimately a question of what looks good to you

its subjective so not much i can suggest

[unkempt blade]

yeah totally, you're going to want to wrap platforms around the pillar and record a route with a factory cart on each platform then have multiple carts set to drive those routes

[versed cosmos]

also keep in mind youre gonna want to turn this into a train line when you unlock them

[unkempt blade]

trains going around would be really big pillars!

[versed cosmos]

maybe make it two foundations wide so you can do two tracks and have multiple trains running

[hazy topaz]

What I ended up doing is a 3 pillar collum stacked 2 pillars high and 3 belts on the each side then 3 on top

it don't look bad... ig

[real shale]

Hello

I have come to say uhhhhh lizard doggo

[jagged nymph]

libard zogdo

[stone python]

throw them all off a cliff

[jagged nymph]

evil

[real shale]

My solution is more humane, give them nowhere to spawn

[jagged nymph]

guys i have a hypothetical question i wanna see yalls answers.

you walk into a room and there are 2 boxes. One of them is guaranteed to have 1000 dollars. One of them is a mystery box. There is a supercomputer that tell you you can choose to take both boxes, or just the mystery box. Before you walked into the room, the computer made a prediction about whether you would take just the mystery box or both boxes. If the super computer predicts you will take both boxes, it put no money in the mystery box. If it predicts you would take just the mystery box, it put 1 million dollars in it.

this super computer has accurately guessed the choices of almost all the people that came in before.
importantly, the computer is not magic, it is simply making a prediction, and the computer already setup the money in the boxes before you walked in the room based on the prediction.

do you take both boxes, or just the mystery box

[stone python]

nothing because that questions isnt related to satisfacory, and therefore i cant understand it outside of its relevent channel

looks like greek to me

[bleak valley]

Ada puts 1 million tickets in a mystery box

[stone python]

:wheeze

[jagged nymph]

the computer is ada btw

so its related

[west jackal]

does ada know anything aout me?

do i have to talk to the computer before going in, or how does it make its guess

[lean topaz]

i just got the game

any tips?

[west jackal]

woooo

uh, have fun? lol

[feral jay]

quit now

[lean topaz]

its ok i dont know what grass is

[west jackal]

there are so many tings ive picked up over the many years i dont know what is worth passing on

[jagged nymph]

thats not a part of the paradox (its a well known paradox) but the point is however its predicting it, its very accurate, but not magic. And it sets up the boxes before you walk in and does not change them after

yeah lol

whats interesting about it is that its split about 50/50 what people choose, and most people think that the other option is completely silly

[west jackal]

i would pick just the mystery box, 1k tickets wouldnt change my life, it would be nice, but not huge deal, 1 million tickets would be very nice

[jagged nymph]

i say take both boxes because when you walk in, the boxes are already setup. Whatever decision you make doesnt change whats in the boxes, so if you take both boxes, youll get the million if its in there, and the thousand guaranteed, whereas if you just take the mystery box, you get nothing guaranteed, but still might get the million if its in there.

[west jackal]

the question seems silly, if its trying to predict what i would do though, i feel almost anyone would pick just the mystery box because 1k tickets compared to 1 million tickets is silly!

oh

[jagged nymph]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol18JoeXlVI

[west jackal]

well if it predicts accurately, wouldnt that mean you get 1k and i get 1m?

[feral jay]

@west jackal pay attention to the on-screen prompts, there's a lot of QoL keybinds that aren't immediately obvious, but pop up on the left or right side of the screen. You can find a lot more by browsing through the keybinds menu. This game involves a lot of keyboard/controller use so it really helps to take some time and learn all the various controls

[west jackal]

im not the new guy striek

[feral jay]

lol whoops

[west jackal]

ive been playing (albeit off and on) since u1

although i dont think it was called that at the time

[feral jay]

@lean topaz 👆

[lean topaz]

?

[feral jay]

sorry

[west jackal]

also striek, my buildings look nowhere near as nice as yours. im trying to make them nicer, but still

[jagged nymph]

its not guaranteed to guess it correctly though, its simply making a predicition based on information it knows. Whatever decision you actually make doesnt change whats in the boxes. When you walk into the room, theres 2 possibilities

1. theres one thousand dollars in the first box, and 1 million dollars in the second.
2. theres one thousand dollars in the first box, and none in the second.

Whatever you choose to take doesnt change whats already in there. If you take just the mystery box, you might get a million, you might get nothing. If you choose both, you might get 1,001,000 dollars, you might get 1000 dollars. I say thats much more reasonable

[feral jay]

You asked for a few tips, scroll up a bit and I mentioned "learn the various keybinds"

[lean topaz]

qok

[west jackal]

but its trying to predict what I would do, right?

and you said its had high accuracy up till this point, no reason to suspect it would guess wrong for me, therefore, i would get 1m

[native tapir]

Sell the supercomputer for 1mil

[west jackal]

ADA is very smart, i think she would guess right

[native tapir]

Ez

[jagged nymph]

yes, and if it thinks you will take both, it puts nothing in the mystery box, and if it thinks youll take jsut the box, it puts a million in it. But it doesnt actually know the future, so whatever it predicts is what it predicts. You choosing the mystery box or both doesnt change whats in them.

but if you take both, you get the mystery box and the thousand

if you take the mysteru box, you get only the mystery box

[west jackal]

i get that, but i wouldnt take both lol, i dont need 1k tix, it would be nice but not life changing, not worth risking 1m 🤷‍♂️

[jagged nymph]

but you aint riskin nothing. Youre still getting the mystery box, which could have a million, or could not, but you also get another 1k. If you choose just the mystery box, you might get a million, or might get nothing

but thats the thing with this paradox

the two sides both think their option is the obvious answer and the other is silly

[native tapir]

Tell everyone you have a supercomputer that can predict the future and give tours to billionaires for 100k a pop

[unborn nova]

my game has kinda been crashing alot recently, could a large buildup of materials be the cause of this? or is it also just from all the stuff ive built

[west jackal]

buildup on conveyors? it shouldnt...

[dense violet]

this shouldn't be the case no

[deft drum]

Man I feel good right now

Made a steel beam blueprint that turns 300 iron+coal into 112.5 beams. Directly inserting iron ingots from smelters i to foundries and steel ingots into constructors.

Just need to hook up the inputs to the 3 examples I slapped down

[dense violet]

are you using mods?
experimental?

[unborn nova]

like 20+ containers of waste

[unborn nova]

nope and nope i dont think so

[west jackal]

20 containers really shouldnt be an issue

[unborn nova]

probably even more idek leme count

[west jackal]

ive done wayyyyyyyy more than that back when the game was less stable

[dense violet]

it's it only happening when you are in a certain part of the map?

or does it happen no matter what part of the map you're in ?

[unborn nova]

i dont think its the waste

[west jackal]

Since when do chargers have jetpacks????!?!!!

[unborn nova]

yea no matter where

[dense violet]

that's a bit weirder

[dense violet]

Post the text of the crash log in a #1038092680493801533 , a more techy person will probably realise what it is

[deft drum]

🇾 🇪 🇪 🇹

[dense violet]

there's at least 1 'Solution of Last Resort' but I'd hope there's a far simpler method

[unborn nova]

okay ty, if it does it again i will but i dont think i got the log unlessed it auto saves somewhere

[unborn nova]

i doubt thats what i need

[dense violet]

not sure, simplest is to just grab it next time

[dense violet]

hopefully not! but you can resurect a corrupted save if you have to

[west jackal]

can gases flow at 600/min more easily?

[summer coral]

is there a way to quickly scan my world for power plants running below 100% uptime? my power productions flucuating but ive got like 900 machines producing power and theyre scattered around the world

[dense violet]

basically the same

[west jackal]

isolate grids

[feral jay]

I use https://ficsit.app/mod/Cellphone for that. I'm not aware of any other way.

[west jackal]

gases still slosh?

[dense violet]

I woulnd't describe that as a quick scan but prob the closes

[dense violet]

they can back flow yes

[dense violet]

but it's very easy to get 600 flow with basic pipe management

[summer coral]

i hadnt thought of that ty

[dense violet]

I'm happy to help design a layout if you like and explain things

[summer coral]

already been adding a bunch of mods to solve niche problems, hope i dont end up having to download another but good to know

[real shale]

Honestly, so long as you have somewhat equal distribution of power across those machines, you'll be fine if you've got priority power switches set up

[summer coral]

planned to do that when i started but i delayed high speed connector production way too much 😭

[real shale]

Having several power plants across the map is much better for emergency matters than having one centralised power plant

[deft drum]

And a metric-shit load of power storage

[west jackal]

me?

[real shale]

Honestly, even without power storage, island grids are really strong and resilient against potential oopsie daisy moments

[haughty torrent]

Is there a chance that down the road we'll be able to change what axis we rotate things on? As far as I'm aware the only way to replicate such a thing is either through fiddling with mods or beams.

[dense violet]

yes, if you want some help designing reliable pipes I'd be happy to help

[west jackal]

id like that, but im not working on pipes atm. buildings lots of train tracks to get ready for aluminum

[dense violet]

oh, yeah whenever. Feel free to ping me for that 🙂 there's some Very simple ways to manage aluminium

[west jackal]

ill try and handle them myself but if i run into issues ill hyu, i normally am fine but there is always weird inconsistencies with my pipes

i did have issues when i was bottom feeding a bunch of refineries earlier

knock on wood they are working now

[dense violet]

that's because bottom feeding is not a recommended reliabye pipe method. Can be very finicky but doable

[west jackal]

yeah, i knew that going into it, wanted to try and make it work

[dense violet]

For your alum though, you'll have waste water.
I recommend reusing the water in the Solution process, but don't mix the the fresh and waste. Have some solution refineries running only on fresh and some only on waste

just clock your machines

[west jackal]

okay, i think ive just put fresh and waste together

[storm hull]

is it normal that my Gpu gets to 67*c with a small factory in game?

[dense violet]

that is doable, but can be very finicky

[ornate saffron]

ya, thats fine

[west jackal]

67c is relatively low for gpu under load

[storm hull]

even if it the pc's sound increases? thanks also

[west jackal]

depends on computer/gpu/airflow/dirt

if im on my laptop it sounds like a jet engine. my desktop makes a low sound, but still noticeable

[storm hull]

i'm just making srue the dude who built this pc told me to not get it over 75*c degrees

[summer coral]

sounds safe

[summer coral]

what gpu?

[storm hull]

yea a low noticeable sound

[west jackal]

uh 75c is fine?

[storm hull]

Thank you

[storm hull]

50 series i forgot which

[west jackal]

most gpus should be fine up to 85C ish

[storm hull]

he told me not to get over that

[summer coral]

it should be safe up to like 100 C

[west jackal]

they are okay even over that

[jagged nymph]

go into taks manager then click performance then click gpu it will tell you

[ornate saffron]

some even 90 is fine

[storm hull]

ye 5060 ti

[west jackal]

some can go hotter, i dont want to promote fear mongering of temps, but i dont want to tell him that its okay to go 90+ and then something happen

[storm hull]

so 67*c or something is good/normal even if it has a noticeable sound?

[west jackal]

it has fans

fans make noise

[summer coral]

should be good to around 85 C but if it gets there it should slow itself down so it doesnt burn down

[storm hull]

fair i guess just gets me worried at times

[west jackal]

yeah uh dont worry about the temps unless you start getting weird issues or it overheating

they have built in protection + generally itll shut itself off if it gets too hot.

[storm hull]

okay thanks thanks

[storm hull]

then what was the pc seller guy talking about?

[ornate saffron]

Its one of things you check if you get random crashes

[storm hull]

keeping it closed for a while if it goes over 75*c

[storm hull]

Gpu temps?

[ornate saffron]

Gpu temps, cpu temps

[storm hull]

againk thank you all

[west jackal]

ive never heard of a seller telling you to shut the computer down if it gets to 75c...

[storm hull]

i forgot about cpu temp mainly been focusing on Gpu as it was the only thing he confirmed me about

[summer coral]

id guess it was person to person not a company or smth

[west jackal]

any reputable seller will stress test the system before selling it, if you have to turn off your computer then something is wrong

[storm hull]

fo ra couple hours to make it cool

[west jackal]

that is WILD

[storm hull]

uh

[west jackal]

is it a laptop?

[storm hull]

no a computer

[jagged nymph]

a laptop is still a computer

[west jackal]

i knew what he meant/

[jagged nymph]

its just a lap-top computer rather than a desk-top computer

[storm hull]

desktop computer

[summer coral]

i hate pipes

[dense violet]

would you like to improve your pipe knowledge and skills?

[summer coral]

flow rate is having these giant drops from 600 to 300 despite 600 being produced on one end and 600 used on the other 😭

[west jackal]

ablush, i built my own PC, it has more air flow than needed and AIO for cpu (keeps inside of case cool) it usually doesnt come above 70C, but heres the thing. I have gotten it to over 80 and kept playing with no issues. You shouldnt have issues, idk what that guy was on about

[jagged nymph]

i used to aswell.

1. dont use buffers
2. fluids should go down if possible
   thats mostly it

[summer coral]

right now im dealing with rocket fuel

[west jackal]

isnt that a gas

[summer coral]

yup

[jagged nymph]

nitro or normal recipe

[storm hull]

i don't have any issues just i get afraid if a loud noise arises Or the gpu temp goes over 70 i just close the game (not satisfactory tho hasn't hapepned yet) thats all

[west jackal]

just go up then lol

[jagged nymph]

(nitro is the superior choice)

[dense violet]

make a post with overhead images of what you're trying to do in #1038092680493801533

also if you don't like pipes you really shouldn't have done rocket fuel

[west jackal]

its meant to get loud, to cool it down! You want me to send a video of my laptop lol

[summer coral]

probably nitro

[dense violet]

it's pipes everywhere. pipes on pipes

[summer coral]

i didnt do rocket fuel

i did ionized fuel

[storm hull]

ohhh i didn't know thatt

[dense violet]

same thing 😛 but yeah, make a post

[summer coral]

entire projects been hell with gasses

[west jackal]

Should hear the fans at my lab, youd go deaf without ear protection, its the same thing for computers. The only thing that would be a problem is abnormal noises, like clicking or something like that. but fans being loud isnt damaging it

[jagged nymph]

btw modern computers have alot of failsafes that prevent them from overheating to the point of damage unless its defective. For example if your cpu gets too hot it will shut down your pc. (it shouldnt get that hot anyway unless you have like a defective cooler or smth) theres also thermal throttling, where the cpu slows down if its too hot to prevent overheating

and i assume theres similar with gpus

[summer coral]

guess i got a reason to use the elevator i installed for on overview tower lol

[jagged nymph]

is there a max height for elevators

[storm hull]

ehh i sometimes hear clicking/grinding noise sometimes when i put my head close to my computer like 3 inches away but less often from like 2 feet i can hear it too , (and i doubt this one is important but) whenever i play anything or open my browser i hear a noise a continous noise

[dense violet]

photomode can help too 🙂 I understand you get pretty good control with the camera angles

[storm hull]

ooo okay then thanksss i've had like a couple times before where that happened but not to this pc

[west jackal]

well without hearing the noises i cant really say... but a clicking/grinding noise is usually not great

[storm hull]

i can get you a video of what it sounds like exactly

[west jackal]

i MIGHT be able to determine it, but more than likely youd need to do some research and try and determine it yourself, trial and error/being hands on usually is helpful

[jagged nymph]

when is 1.2 experimental again? its the 17th right

[west jackal]

the only times ive had grinding noises was a failing fan bearing, luckily it was just a case fan so i could swap it out. if its gpu.. well thats a lot more effort to fix

[jagged nymph]

ive had a grinding sound cause an rgb cable was slightly hitting a fan

[storm hull]

when i did on the previous pc it was a "coil whine" issue but i'm not sure of this pc

[jagged nymph]

one time my pc fell over while moving it in my car and all the rgb stopped working, cant figure out why cause all the cables are SPAGHETTI like i can barely get the back of the case back on if i take it off lol]

so i just left it

[storm hull]

loll and its still like that??

[jagged nymph]

yep

i would have to completely take apart and reassemble my pc to fix it, and i dont even know how to rewire it lol

i dont reeally care about the rgb anyway

[west jackal]

pcs are really easy to wire, especially fans, but yeah cable management sucks, especially if you buy it from someone that doesnt care about it, there are some prebuilts that do but must just stuff it in the back

[jagged nymph]

no you need to see the back of this thing

lemme grab a pic rq

[dense violet]

I am glad that PCs now are pretty much plug and play

[west jackal]

i believe that its a mess, im just saying you can fix it pretty easy

[dense violet]

just look at where the internals are supposed to connect and go

[summer coral]

entire issue was me doing some weird thing to balance all my pipelines to be 4x 600 and 1x some weird number and not placing a valve to cap out the weird pipeline, figured it out while trying to figure out what i did lol

[ornate saffron]

You beat me to it.

Ide cables that were not keyed, jumper plugs, slave and master drives.

[dense violet]

yeah so trying to 'balance' pipes is a bad idea, so is using vavles though

flood the system and hope it stays stable?

if you want to hate pipes less though clock your machines.
Clock them so you send fluids from A to B , the next step, to be processed without shenanigans. Will prevent most of your problems

[storm hull]

again thank you all

[summer coral]

mmm

sounds boring and like itd work first try

[tacit crater]

300hours in and i still havent made a nuclear factory

[dense violet]

it generally does yes 🙂
depends if you enjoy hating pipes.

If you enjoy hating pipes, yeah sure go for it. Just know there's some very easy ways to be able to Not Hate Pipes.

[west jackal]

if yall could remove 1 enemy type from the game, what would it be and why

[summer coral]

stingers

[jagged nymph]

spiders because they are spiders

[summer coral]

hate the small ones the most

[ornate saffron]

Hatchers

Spiders are the reason pets are in the credits

[low ingot]

the jumping spiders man

chasing me on my power lines aint cool

[west jackal]

hatchers are the little POS that kill me constantly right

[dense violet]

sneak up to the bulbs

[west jackal]

screw that they still get me

[dense violet]

bulbs don't open if you sneak

and iirc you can 'sneak' while hover packed or jet packed??

[west jackal]

sneak? wait you mean actually crouching?

[bleak valley]

You can also jump while crouching and they don’t open

[ornate saffron]

Yes

[bleak valley]

I did it earlier lol

[dense violet]

yup!

[bleak valley]

As long as your holding crouch they are kinda dumb

[dense violet]

homing ammo is pretty great for it too

[ornate saffron]

I chose hatchers because I like the cats

[bleak valley]

The stingers themselves I hate but they are fine when they are cat png’s

[west jackal]

i... didnt know that

[feral jay]

Yeah if you crouch, the hatchers won't attack you, even if you're jetpacking/jumping while crouched, and even if you're beating them to death with a stick. They just calmly wait for death while you beat them.

[ornate saffron]

The boombox bass function does one damage and pushes enemies away. This kills flys and can push other monsters off cliffs

[west jackal]

woah.

when did they add boombox?

[dense violet]

... u8?

maybe u7

[jaunty jewel]

objective answer is hatchers

[west jackal]

shi it was added in u6.1 i mustve just missed it

i guess thats what those tapes are for

[dense violet]

time has mostly lost all meaning to me tbf. I just knew it was before 1.0

[ornate saffron]

You cam find OSTs from other css games such as deep rock galactic. You can get the goat simulator soundtrack for 0 tickets in the awesome shop

[wise junco]

lizard doggos

too ez 2 kill

[west jackal]

:O

[ornate saffron]

They friend not enemy. You enemy. Must remove

[jaunty jewel]

hello medical yellow berry

[wise junco]

hewwo

[jaunty jewel]

how you are

[wise junco]

i ok. use satisfactory to escape life

#screenshots message me make. me go bed

how you?

[jagged nymph]

vuhirhgh

[jaunty jewel]

Bryan Cranston

me like 90 miles from home and i have college in like 6 hours and no sleep

[wise junco]

oof

[jaunty jewel]

Yes

i havent factoried in a short while

[jagged nymph]

i need to hop on and start my megafactory but im plagued with decision fatigue cause i dont know what to do to start it

like i know what things and how much of them i need to automate right now but i dont know where to start

[burnt prawn]

If I overbuild and underclock to make a ratio am I usually better off doing the underclocking evenly or just one one machine?

[wise junco]

start at the beginning

[west jackal]

dang. me home not studying for exam in 10 hrs

[wise junco]

better in what sense? power consumption?

[burnt prawn]

Yeah, power

The work will get done at the same rate either way

[west jackal]

i believe power is linear isnt it?

[ornate saffron]

Get to studying.

Doggo privilege removed.

Study

[wise junco]

power generation is linear, but consumption is exponential

[west jackal]

No!

[jaunty jewel]

study bad

[burnt prawn]

I know consumption is exponential for OC but never looked for UC

[west jackal]

Exam easy. Me go night night before me study

[wise junco]

i would THINK that you'd fare better spreading the underclock evenly

[dense violet]

the difference in power consumtion in this case is so little as to be meaningless

do whatever is most convenient for the next process

[burnt prawn]

Even it is, then! The belts will look prettier

[west jackal]

if consumption is exponential, it would seem to me that having all underclocked a little might save you some, but its so small dont waste the time.

unless you have other reasons^ 🙂

[burnt prawn]

Either way I'm copypasting the same number of recipes

So, 🤷‍♂️

[dense violet]

remember - take any factory that is operating with all machines at 100%, if you instead made it run at 250% it would only consume 34% more power

[west jackal]

i mean unless youre talking about t8/t9 buildings, i think you are fine haha

[west jackal]

thats not exponential???

[burnt prawn]

Nah, these are just blenders

[west jackal]

who said it was exponential

[burnt prawn]

I have a feeling that's comparing the total power consumption, not per-machine

[dense violet]

oh per manchine it's a lot more than 34%
but you also divide the machines by 2.5

[west jackal]

oh

[dense violet]

so after you consider the fewer machiens you're using, it's only 34% more power
and power is so easy in this game

that's why I said there was no meaningful difference in how they under clocked their machines

[west jackal]

Thats still not exponential?

Idk me brain hurteds

[dense violet]

It's like a butterfly landing on a bridge
A scientist would be correct in saying that the butterfly puts weight on the bridge by X amount
An engineer would just say there's no meaningful impact.

Both are correct

[dense violet]

I think it's still exponential yes? looking at a single machine

[feral jay]

Just turned on a 78 cooling systems/min factory 😃

[ornate saffron]

Underclocking does reduce power greater then the % dropped. Not by much and it bottoms at 1mw

One of the way to make ionized fuel more power efficient is to undercooked all the machines producing it.

Is it worth while?

I dont think so

[west jackal]

Okay

[loud surge]

just had a fuse blow, at this point it could only be my coal generators, i checked the grid and theres no switch? does power storage stop you from having to flip it?

[burnt prawn]

Power storage can fill in shortfalls for as long as it has charge, but if your average consumption exceeds production that won't stop things from tripping

At most it'll help you cope with load spikes

[spare prism]

Imagine underclocking

[loud surge]

i see, i got the message for fuse blown so i ran too a power pole and there was no switch for the fuse though

[burnt prawn]

It doesn't tell you which power grid tripped, so try checking a different one

[loud surge]

i only have one grid so far lol

[west jackal]

if it says one flipped then you probably have a second grid, maybe by accident?

[burnt prawn]

Look around and see if something's split by accident

[dense violet]

maybe you had a bioburner doing something in the middle of nowhere?

[west jackal]

yeah, can check scim

[burnt prawn]

Ooh, what does that look like in scim?

[loud surge]

i stopped using bio burners yesterday and everything that might be hooked up to one has been attached too ym coal grid

[wise junco]

That fuse blown noise is the stuff nightmares are made of

[loud surge]

whats scim?

[wise junco]

It's an interactive map you can upload your save to

[loud surge]

scim is extremely helpful thanks guys lmao

[dense violet]

it is a 100% exploration spoiler if yo ucare about that though

and the exploration is pretty great in this game imo

[feral jay]

Satisfactory Calculator and Interactive Map

[dense violet]

I'm glad I didn't discover scim until I'd run around the map like 3 full times

[loud surge]

when i uploaded my map it only shows places i've been

and i nodes etc i have interacted with

[dense violet]

it does, but you do get teh full map on opening

[west jackal]

just dont look

[elfin smelt]

not 100%

[west jackal]

or remove fog of war, although i do that

[loud surge]

anyway its a small iron farm i forgot about, dont understand how those bioburners lasted so long, i left the game udling all alst night and i am about to go to bed again lol

[west jackal]

probably started backing up and things turned off

[elfin smelt]

seeing a map doesn't tell you the whole story, going personally will always reveal new things

[twin parcel]

Any idea when 1.2 is?

[dense violet]

it can show everything.

[elfin smelt]

does it show the landscapes views? the enemies?, how the caves look and their lights?

[loud surge]

100% it was my main source of plates and rods but it became obsolete

[dense violet]

you still know where evertyhing is and yes, it does show enemies and yo ucan see the elevations

it's shows you exactly what to expect

and if you're trying to argue knowing exactly where you need to turn to find a cave and knowing it's there doesn't take away from the surprise of looking unaware I can safely not care

[elfin smelt]

im not saying it doesn't spoil

i just said its not 100%

[dense violet]

it touches every aspect of exploration, even the 'ooooh ahh' of a cave because you know its there

shows you how big it is even

[loud surge]

Even seeing where the pure nodes are would be a buzz kill for me ngl, that will be a purely troubleshooting site for a long while

[elfin smelt]

is seeing things personaly an aspect of exploration?

[jagged nymph]

just used like 25k concrete to build the first floor of my megafactory

[west jackal]

i wish you could remove the really big trees

i may or may not have a train clipping

[jagged nymph]

you can though

use chainsaw

[verbal dagger]

I'm on tier 6. The packaged fuel recipe says it's on tier 5, so I should be able to unlock that, yes?

[jagged nymph]

yes its in tier 5

in fluid packaging milestone

[west jackal]

um. cant

[jagged nymph]

what tree?

[west jackal]

#screenshots message

[jagged nymph]

oohh those ones

the big trees

[west jackal]

i did call them "really big" 🤷‍♂️

[spare prism]

I haven't seen them yet

[twin parcel]

Nuke them with nobelisk

[dense violet]

curve foundations around them 🙂

use them as supports

[twin parcel]

Or build train tracks on top of existing roads

[west jackal]

doesnt work

[west jackal]

hard for thetrains im doing

[twin parcel]

Even cluster nobelisk?

[unborn nova]

explosive rebar

works all the time 100%

if it doesnt i think ur doing sometihng wrong

oh wait nvm i didnt peep the screen shot lmao

[west jackal]

havent tried cluster but i dont think it works

[unborn nova]

you cant get rid of those

Some large, "sacred" or "fig" trees in specific, dense biomes might be considered permanent, indestructible terrain, requiring you to build around them.

ya

[dense violet]

show in #design-and-architecture ?

[west jackal]

Ive sent pics of it before, I got off bc brain hurt

[dense violet]

You could work that.
curve some base foundations around the tree and use that as the frame to places your arches.
you can create attachments to the tree

[hoary scarab]

Can anyone help me out with my project I am trying to use the drone and I need to know if I can set the drone to multi pick up from different ports

???🤔

[dense violet]

you cannot

they are A to B only

what exactly are you trying to do ?

[hoary scarab]

Alr thanks and what dose revelvant port mean

[hoary scarab]

Import Sam nodes from across the world to 1 point for dark matter

[dense violet]

ok the UI for drone ports isn't great and it's been a while, but from memory you should be able to just asign the 2 ports easily.

[hoary scarab]

Sense 1 max pure dam node makes 300 Sam rain

[dense violet]

you'll want dedicated drones for this anyway. They don't have that much through put

individually

[hoary scarab]

Mmm

For battery would I wanna but the charger station where the main farm

That way I don’t need to go to each port 1by 1

???

[dense violet]

just deliver your fuel of choice to the drop off point - fuel all drones there

[hoary scarab]

Mmmm

Alr thanks

[dense violet]

no prob 🙂

it's pretty common to try to design drone systems so that multiple routes share pick up or drop off points - makes it easier to refuel

[hoary scarab]

Idk what the frick I did but I made my drone go to 2 ports😭

[dense violet]

Do you mean 3?

[hoary scarab]

Yeah

[dense violet]

because 2 is normal and 3 is impossible

[jagged nymph]

#screenshots message|
factory

[hoary scarab]

I made it go to Sam 1 than to Sam 2

[dense violet]

oh instead of Sam 1 to Drop off

[hoary scarab]

It had 2 relevant points

What dose relevant point even mean

Dose it just mean the incoming drones to that port

[dense violet]

again not sure xD the UI was always annoying and I just went boop boop on the ports. Never bothered reading the other things xD

anyone else have better memory than me?

[hoary scarab]

Who knows

I am 15 and this is going to be the reson I pass alg 2😼

[dense violet]

xD

if only satisfactory could be a useful teaching tool

[hoary scarab]

Wait I think I figured it out

You can only have relevant points

Nvm

I just killed my brain

[jagged nymph]

tf is a relevant point

[hoary scarab]

The key to satisfying is to not over think I swear

[hoary scarab]

I Lwk don’t know all I know is it makes your drone do side quest😭

[woeful sinew]

was i supposed to make a power plant for biofuel

[dense violet]

... you mean bio burners?

[woeful sinew]

i set up induvisual biofuel things for each place

[woeful sinew]

no clue

biomass burners

[dense violet]

and by 'power plant' do you just mean 1 place for it?

[woeful sinew]

yes

[dense violet]

well imo it's certainly more convenient to centralise your power.

[woeful sinew]

ive now entered the coal stage and im gonna figure it out

[dense violet]

but you don't have to

[dense violet]

I would find 3-4 coal nodes next to water for that. Burn it all on location

[woeful sinew]

can i send all my power to one pole?

sweet

[dense violet]

there is no electrical conduction simulation in this game

[hoary scarab]

😭😭😭😭

[woeful sinew]

awesome so i wont lose power if i connect them

[hoary scarab]

Bro travel time of vechicals are annoying!!!!!

[dense violet]

sprint slide jumping with blade runners is often simpler and faster

or zip lines

[woeful sinew]

ive got 4 normal coal things near a body of water

is that good

[hoary scarab]

Uhh

No not that

[hoary scarab]

Yeah very good

[dense violet]

very solid. Until like.. tier 9, the difference between normal and pure is very little

[woeful sinew]

when can i fly

[hoary scarab]

You would only need 1 pure coal or 2 normal to get pass coal phase

[jagged nymph]

when you get the jetpack

[dense violet]

tier 7

[hoary scarab]

Nah

I thought it was tier 6

[dense violet]

I use 4 normal nodes to get to tier 7 easily 😛

[dense violet]

aluminium is tier 7

[hoary scarab]

Oh yeah your right

I am tier 9

I could beat the game but what’s the fun in that just trying to have fun fully automatic everything

How you name drones?

[glad leaf]

if you put a coupon in the awesome sink you will unlock the cyber wagon

[jagged nymph]

birth certificate

[woeful sinew]

theres a huge ass boulder on a coal node what do i do about it

[dense violet]

spoilers 😛

[jagged nymph]

pipe bomb

[dense violet]

bombs

[woeful sinew]

thanks

[hoary scarab]

What’s that

[jagged nymph]

when youre born theres a certificate of your birth with your name on it

[woeful sinew]

say you swear

[hoary scarab]

😐bro I am asking how you name your drones like the vechel

[dense violet]

maybe you press E on the actual drone?

[hoary scarab]

I figured it out revelvant ports means the drones from other ports coming to you 😞

[hoary scarab]

I am on ps5

[dense violet]

whatever the 'interact' button is then?

[dense violet]

ah yeah you can have A to C and B to C ect

I don't usually do that though

[woeful sinew]

do I scrap my whole world and rebuild it no restart just destroy and make it better

[jagged nymph]

dont destroy it at all

just add more

[dense violet]

it's pretty common at the coal power stage to do that

[woeful sinew]

i have what you would call a noodle factory

[hoary scarab]

Yeah relevant means ports coming to you aka the bottom thing the top is where the drone gose to

[hoary scarab]

You mean a noodle layout?

[dense violet]

I'll try to remember the names of those menus xD

[hoary scarab]

Is satisfactory a game where you share a multiplayer world

[jagged nymph]

i mean you can if you want

[hoary scarab]

Is it like Minecraft and 1 person has to for both to sense “it’s there save”

[jagged nymph]

yes? one person has to host the server

[hoary scarab]

😐bro

Next update thay need to add realms or sum😭🙏🙏

[jagged nymph]

do you want the files on both computers to be interlinked and always update to be the same?

[hoary scarab]

1.3update?🙏😭

[jagged nymph]

tf are you on about

[hoary scarab]

Bro

[cunning glade]

Host a server u can both join 24/7

[hoary scarab]

I AINT ON PC!!!

[jagged nymph]

so?

it has console multiplayer

[cunning glade]

U still can

[hoary scarab]

How you “host severs”

[cunning glade]

Well u set one up and then join it

[jagged nymph]

[dense violet]

!wikisearch Dedicated server

[raven axle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=Dedicated+server

[crystal cedar]

Won't work on cracked just warning

[dense violet]

or do multiplayer, which may or may not be on the same page for info?

[jagged nymph]

? who said anything about a pirated game

[hoary scarab]

Mmmm

[jagged nymph]

why would you pirate satisfactory anyway

i would pay 200 dollars for this game

[hoary scarab]

Huh

[jagged nymph]

huh what

[hoary scarab]

Idk what yall on abt

How much stacks of 100 can a drone hold?

[jagged nymph]

about what

[jagged nymph]

depends on the item

it has 9 slots

[hoary scarab]

😐bro

[jagged nymph]

so with concrete it would be 45 stacks of 100

with modular frames it would be 4.5 stacks of 100

[ornate frost]

on that topic, how are drones? I have not unlocked them yet but they seem pretty neat. Are they particularly useful?

[hoary scarab]

You get them late game

[thick oak]

I find them super frustrating because you can't schedule them.

[jagged nymph]

theyre nice for transporting stuff from remote hard to reach loactions. But you should use trains usually

[crystal cedar]

I would pay more tbh but my friend found it out after.. a few hours of tryna set a server up

[hoary scarab]

And yeah that are used to transport itams from across the male faster at the rate of 200mph

[jagged nymph]

took me like 10 minutes with steamCMD

[thick oak]

@ornate frost Is your cat a pilot?

[jagged nymph]

actually their top speed is around 160 mph

[crystal cedar]

Doesn't work on cracked gives sm wierd error i think

[jagged nymph]

then dont use a pirated game? ofc the multiplayer feature wouldnt work on a pirated game

piracy is illegal btw

[crystal cedar]

It does u need to use sm 3rd party apps tho(for vlan) he's gonna buy the game next month for his bday anyway

[hoary scarab]

200~kph

[crystal cedar]

No shit

[hoary scarab]

[ornate frost]

"its just a game about building factories, seems neat but cant be that fun?"

Watch that language

"the megafactory is complete. now what?"
"now we can play the game"

[crystal cedar]

Dang. I only have 700

[jagged nymph]

i have 400

[hoary scarab]

700!!

[crystal cedar]

We may begin now

[jagged nymph]

but alot of people have like 4000 tho

[hoary scarab]

Bro I am at 99

How meany times have yall beat the game

[jagged nymph]

[crystal cedar]

Yea a single world can take 2k+ if u care about architecture,aesthetics and play slowly

[crystal cedar]

[hoary scarab]

😭

[jagged nymph]

most finished saves ive seen have atleast 600 hours just in that save, with alot of those going over 1000

[thick oak]

Yessss I'm hundreds of hours into my save and still using coal power but everything is stunning.

[jagged nymph]

megafacorty

[crystal cedar]

I lost my 500h save. Becuz my stupid ah tried to dual boot linux and accidentally wiped my drive

[jagged nymph]

😭

its not that hard 😭

[drowsy kelp]

assuming they didn't overwrite anything data recovery is most likely possible

[crystal cedar]

Uh

[jagged nymph]

😭😭😭
😭😭😭
😭😭😭

[thick oak]

I like makin tons of little factories that do neat stuff.

[hoary scarab]

That’s not good

[narrow latch]

guys

[crystal cedar]

Y not

[thick oak]

I mean, to each their own?...

[jagged nymph]

says who

[narrow latch]

I need assistance

[jagged nymph]

dontasktoask.com

[crystal cedar]

Begin.

[jagged nymph]

no make them ask it properly

[narrow latch]

Two types of people beautifully illustrated

[hoary scarab]

Small factory’s production is for small tiers but when you get to higher tiers like miner 3s you would need to fix everything

You can set off the extra mats being produced sense all your itams are in a area

[jagged nymph]

no, "modular factories" is a common playstyle, where you build alot of small factories usually making only one or two parts each

[drowsy kelp]

uh what

[thick oak]

I disagree, I like to pull large amounts of stuff into a building and make it say, a smelter. Then move it next door to a whole other building for a process.

[crystal cedar]

Just. Created a new save, downloaded fh5, deleted fh5 and downloaded cyberpunk after that no biggie

[hoary scarab]

😭how is that post to do anything when you are makeing 1200 iron a minute 😢😓and you can make prob 100 modules frames a minute or more💀

Wait nvm your prob barly using half that

[dense violet]

huh?

[jagged nymph]

what the fuck did you just say?

[narrow latch]

I have two trains going back and forth on one track. There's a locomotive attached to both ends so its bidirectional. Now I want two of these routes to merge into one line going into two different stations. Im so lost how to make the signals work so that when one train is arriving and unloading, the other one waits before going in and doing the same thing on its own station

[crystal cedar]

Can u like speak in english

[jagged nymph]

like genuinely that reads as gibberish for me

[jagged nymph]

im glad were all on the same page

[hoary scarab]

NO I AM HISPANIC YOU trying to be racist?

[jagged nymph]

no? how tf is that racist you donut

[dense violet]

just put block signals at the front and back of each station

or have 2 lanes, which makes it much much better for multiple trains

[crystal cedar]

Tis guy...

[crystal cedar]

Personally never used trains. I js belt em wherever

[dense violet]

everyone has preferences

[jagged nymph]

im blocking him tbh he is insufferable

[woeful sinew]

alr guys i have the mats to start creating the coal plant

[jagged nymph]

nice

i should prolly start researching caterium

but i been too lazy to walk to the node

[last shadow]

dawg😔

[narrow latch]

trying this rn

[crystal cedar]

.

Researching cat early good for qol

[jagged nymph]

yeah

i do need me some smart splitters and zipline and mk2 poles

especially the smart splitter since im starting my hyper mega super ultra super mega hyper factory

[crystal cedar]

.

Is it gonna span the whole map or smth

[jagged nymph]

nah

50x50 foundations

which is like pretty big

[crystal cedar]

Then it would be appropriate to remove exactly one mega and one hyper

[crystal cedar]

Not much

[jagged nymph]

its also gonna have like 20 floors tho

its gonna make every item in the game

[crystal cedar]

I have one 80*60 for oil and electronics

[spare prism]

Wait until you hear about 1000x1000

[jagged nymph]

how many floors tho

[crystal cedar]

Then u may add one mega

[crystal cedar]

It's at 4 now

[jagged nymph]

yeah so mines like bigger yo

[crystal cedar]

..

[crystal cedar]

*would be. U didn't build it yet

[spare prism]

How much concrete y'all think it would take to cover the entire map in foundations

[jagged nymph]

true.. ive only built one floor so far

[jagged nymph]

prolly like 50 million

[crystal cedar]

HA MINE BIGGER

[crystal cedar]

Use regular ficsit foundations to reduce concrete consumption

But takes iron

[spare prism]

Ewwww

[jagged nymph]

real concrete ones look way better

[spare prism]

I love the asphalt foundation

[crystal cedar]

I know I know. Concrete better but for sheer volume

[jagged nymph]

actually coated concrete is the best

[crystal cedar]

I don't prefer it cuz it's too shiny

Factory looks.... Wet

[jagged nymph]

issue is that it uses plastic

[crystal cedar]

For niche decoration and stuff it's gud tho(worth the plastic)

[jagged nymph]

yeah i dont use it everywhere

i mean this is on the rare occasion i decorate stuff

[crystal cedar]

Yea lol then it's good.

[jagged nymph]

90 percent of the time is cube

[dense violet]

more than it would take to start cooking your pc

[crystal cedar]

I like to think ficsit actually likes it cubed becuz more efficient

[jagged nymph]

true

[gilded goblet]

I just watched someone apply factorio main bus logic in satisfactory

[jagged nymph]

main bus?

[gilded goblet]

yes

[dense violet]

awful

[jagged nymph]

what is that

[gilded goblet]

it is torture to wtach

[jagged nymph]

what is that

just like putting everything on one main belt??

[gilded goblet]

Lemme get a picture

[crystal cedar]

Not much of a 2d playr(except gd) so explain pwz

[dense violet]

pls dont

[gilded goblet]

ah right cant embed

[crystal cedar]

Us mortals need one

[dense violet]

basically trying to put all your belts down main lines and feeding sections of machines like that instead of sending dedicated lines to projects

[crystal cedar]

Like sushi belts?

[dense violet]

the reason it's awful is that factorio and satisfactory have very different design styles

[dense violet]

no. They can be sushi but don't have to

it's a bunch of extra work and belting for no real benefit

it's not wrong but ... geez

[gilded goblet]

He's using factorio concepts in satisfactory, this is torture.

[crystal cedar]

Isn't if it works it works accepted in satis?

[dense violet]

I mean sure but it's painful seeing someone punch themselves in the face for no reason

like I said. It's not wrong.

[spare prism]

Lol

[crystal cedar]

It's it one of those factorio pro plays satisfactory for the first time vids

[gilded goblet]

Beating Satisfactory : The Movie from PsYche897

[last shadow]

i watched a factorio pro plays satisfactory vid like an hour ago

[crystal cedar]

I introduced my friend to satis. I think I ruined his first time experience cuz his first world was a multi w me

[small niche]

i dont think it would be to hard to cover the map with 50mil worth of concrete... after all my project is less than 5% done. also i used 114K concrete so far...

[last shadow]

what could you possibly have done to ruin his first time exprience in that world

[gilded goblet]

force him to get Satisfactory Plus as his first playthrough

[last shadow]

NO

[gilded goblet]

torture them early

[last shadow]

i did that thinking "Oh satisfactory plus? that must be a qol mod i should download it"

[crystal cedar]

Simply. Unspeghettied

[spare prism]

Well I said how much would it take to cover the map not starting with a total

[crystal cedar]

NO

[last shadow]

EVIL. THEY NEED THE SPAGHETTI TO LIVE

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

[crystal cedar]

U see how I ruined it now?

Made him straighten up everything

..And use foundations

[last shadow]

they feed off the spaghetti you cant do that to a new player

[crystal cedar]

I KNOW

[last shadow]

AND FOUNDATIONS??????

[jagged nymph]

I'm pioneer no more I guess..

[crystal cedar]

That's it?

[last shadow]

whats TERA

[jagged nymph]

the elephant reacts amazingly?

[small niche]

1 Trillion watts using only rocket fuel (16.6Km^3/m)

[last shadow]

that doesnt seem possible

[small niche]

i did the math

[last shadow]

oh wait watt i thought you meant megawatt

thats probably possible

[crystal cedar]

16.6kilometres cubed per minute?
Greeny gonna spawn if u don't use SI

[jagged nymph]

youre making 16 billion meters^3 of rocket fuel? that doesnt seem possible

[last shadow]

oh

[jagged nymph]

in fact i know thats impossible

[last shadow]

didnt even notice that part

[small niche]

[last shadow]

i dont think theres enough resource nodes to even do that

[jagged nymph]

16,600m^3 is NOT the same as 16.6Km^3

16.6km^3 would be 16.6 billion meters^3

[crystal cedar]

Yes.

[small niche]

its 16,672m^3 of rocket fuel...

[crystal cedar]

Much better

[jagged nymph]

yeah thats not the same as 16.672km^3

[small niche]

i need 9,421.875m^3/m of oil 🤣
