If I stand in a certain spot in one of my factories it ends up picking me up off the ground

[bleak valley]

I got the weird conveyers hooked up to the smelters now

"this is your captain speaking, welcome aboard Manta Air flight 1397"

[glad leaf]

yeap

[real shale]

You are right I should attach several nukes to the manta

[glad leaf]

no its flight 1856

[jagged nymph]

why

[glad leaf]

HUH 😭

what makes you look at that poor creature and decide it deserves pain

[real shale]

It can't die

[glad leaf]

ik but still

[real shale]

Its actually the only creature that can't iirc

[jagged nymph]

cause it always clips my god damn builds

[cursive crane]

Not to necro this but another possibility is its drawing it from your DD

[jagged nymph]

beans can survive one nuke

[bleak valley]

#screenshots message beautiful conveyer work if I say so myself

[glad leaf]

why does it take more than one nuke to kill a space giraffe thick peuingin whale thing

[jagged nymph]

its not the worst ive seen

[real shale]

Yeah but they can die.....

[bleak valley]

If I had steel unlocked it would be easier lol

[jagged nymph]

yeah they can still die but theyre very tanky

[glad leaf]

go get steel

[bleak valley]

This factory is gonna produce the part I need to unlock steel

[glad leaf]

i killed one with a basher and a bunch of stun rebars

it took an hour

[bleak valley]

I had to kill a tick with the xeno zapper because it got stuck directly in the way of where I was building a conveyer

[cursive crane]

They arent intended to die lol

[glad leaf]

but they do anyways

[cursive crane]

Also, I think to think since they are so bouncy, they bounce half the explosive damage off

Rubber creatures

[cursive crane]

Look up jaces video on "what games have coffee stain made" it may or may not be the exact same team every time, they have a couple companies under their umbrella

[jagged nymph]

yeah

they publish alot of games

[glad leaf]

why is my computer vibrating so violently

[jagged nymph]

broken fan maybe

[glad leaf]

[tawny raft]

Technically, you can by using inhalers made from them

[glad leaf]

THE FRONT OF THE CASE JUST FELL OFF

[jagged nymph]

then put it back on

[glad leaf]

UHHH

[bleak valley]

I took so long to hook up the smelters I’m going to bed

Tomorrow the actual machines go in

[cursive crane]

Games not going anywhere, take your time lol

[glad leaf]

i have to take a fat dumparoo

[jagged nymph]

i play with a mod that has all the blueprint designers unlocked from the start and free cause tbh the game is unplayable without blueprints

[real shale]

The game might not be going anywhere, but the kittens and puppies sure are

[bleak valley]

Blueprints won’t help me with how I’m building lmao

[potent flicker]

Where is that waterfall spot everyone usually set's up there water powerplants and also bases at? I'm trying to find it but idk where it is, I know it's on one of the edges of the map.

[glad leaf]

you use blueprints?

[cursive crane]

Skill issue

[bleak valley]

I’m building way above my means currently

[jagged nymph]

i wouldnt play this game without them

[cursive crane]

Common one is the nearest coal north of the plains

[last bluff]

Make sure to keep it. FICSIT does not waste!

[glad leaf]

i only have one blueprint and its a tiny house

[potent flicker]

Thanks

[glad leaf]

i usally eat them

HELL YEA

[cursive crane]

[glad leaf]

can somebody please get this guy outta here

[cursive crane]

Not the same lizard but the sentiment is the same lol

I've been playing this game enough not to use screws.

Is that a screws only mod? Lmao

[last bluff]

Ore crusher my beloved

[restive parcel]

This sounds atrocious wtf

[potent flicker]

I even got the 5 iron ingots to Copper wire and copper wire and iron plate variant of the reinforced plates.

ik it's iron heavy but still better than screws tbh

[restive parcel]

Exactly how it should be done

Screws are evil incarnate

[potent flicker]

hell yea!

I may be dumb, but I aint stupid XD

[glad leaf]

wtf is that

[bleak valley]

I’m using that same combo for modular frames lol

[jagged nymph]

a 16 constructor blueprint, of which i have 9 placed on this floor

it wouldve taken hours to do that by hand

[restive parcel]

How tf is it so compact whaaaat

[potent flicker]

I do plan on using that since it's a whoooole lot cheaper

[glad leaf]

this is to advance

[jagged nymph]

trial and error

[last bluff]

Screws are a worthwhile price to pay to suffer through bronze items

[normal orbit]

you can fit 40 constructors in a mk2 :p

[bleak valley]

Being that compact would drive me insane trying to do

[jagged nymph]

sf+ eh?

[restive parcel]

Right? That's what I'm thinking

[jagged nymph]

with input/output though??

[potent flicker]

btw I found the xeno basher from just exploring so I didnt need to research it

[restive parcel]

Every new game I beeline right for that cave

There are blade runners if you know where to find em

[normal orbit]

#screenshots message yes

[potent flicker]

I didnt know it was there lol, I was just collecting the O R B s and the summersloops and slugs

[jagged nymph]

#screenshots message

[restive parcel]

That hurts my head how long did that take to build 😭

[potent flicker]

btw any of y'all have a satiscafory themed discord that I can join to chat and share my gameplay with in vc, I dont usually text much but when I do it's more for asking for help really.

[jagged nymph]

looks like a long time....

[normal orbit]

prob two hours or so

[potent flicker]

Also heading up north to that location btw

[jagged nymph]

oh thats not bad actually

[glad leaf]

ima just quit at this point

[jagged nymph]

ey i started out small too

[potent flicker]

The factory must grow... oh wait wrong game XD

[last bluff]

One hour of that is spent covering the floor with foundations and running front and back in confusion

[glad leaf]

ive been playing this game for 5 months

[normal orbit]

oh i just meant the blueprint

[jagged nymph]

the stuff i make today, i wouldve found baffling when i started, and i still find what i see other people making baffling

[glad leaf]

what foundations 4m?

[last bluff]

In my case, yes

[potent flicker]

I've been playing this game since update 5

[glad leaf]

its 3 am what am i doing

[glad leaf]

[glad leaf]

no

[gentle lava]

i have 3 water extracters connected to one pipe, how do i transfer the extra 60?

[potent flicker]

I mean I would do that for the other factory game and maybe the Create mod for minecraft. but eh, satisfactory is good rn and rn I'm hooked on the game.

[restive parcel]

Valve with thruput limited to 60?

[jagged nymph]

with another pipe

[glad leaf]

get better pipes

[last bluff]

ye how would i reconnect that in tho

[glad leaf]

who else here uses the neko helmet

[potent flicker]

I still want to play GTNH with people but it's hard to find people who are willing to start a playthrough or server for it.

Welp, glad I'm in god mode... I just found Thorium....

[jagged nymph]

i use big helmet

[glad leaf]

[last bluff]

It comes with a server list smh my head

[jagged nymph]

It does but it laggy af

[restive parcel]

Brother are you sleep deprived making word salad 😭

[normal orbit]

you dont, you put 180 into each of two pipes

[glad leaf]

no, im letting the world know about my emergency supply of cheeto dust under my desk

[gentle lava]

so i merge all the extracters together then split them?

[normal orbit]

no

you split one into each of the other two

[gentle lava]

that sounds more complicated

[normal orbit]

well it'll work since you're trying to put 360 into a 300 pipe which wont

[next terrace]

Hello!

[gentle lava]

so if i merge them all together i cant just split it using a junction

[normal orbit]

no

[gentle lava]

oh

[normal orbit]

360 is still a larger number than 300

[last bluff]

Im currently making the factory factory. A factory to help build more factories

nope :D

[glad leaf]

🤯

[last bluff]

So a concrete and steel factory?

[glad leaf]

no, an everything factory

why dont my pants fit

Everything like modular frames, computers, and more

[last bluff]

Giga factory?

[next terrace]

Indeed

[restive parcel]

oh i have a solution... maybe a cloth... that wraps around your waist........ like a belt

It looks horrible but it works

[glad leaf]

there is

[last bluff]

Save scumming?

[glad leaf]

[restive parcel]

Man how does the logistics for that pan out? Do you like have one huge train delivering a bunch of ores at once?

[glad leaf]

no

[last bluff]

How else then?

[glad leaf]

figure it out i dont know what ur factory looks like

[last bluff]

Do you know what the Universal Palbox is from Palworld?

[next terrace]

Um. I have one train for coal and aluminum

[glad leaf]

no

[next terrace]

A massive pipe for nitrogen

[restive parcel]

wait wtf you just have a PIPE for nitrogen????

[next terrace]

I just use a drone for plastic and rubber

[last bluff]

Imagine depots but between world saves

[next terrace]

...yes, its my first time using nitrogen

[restive parcel]

i could never, i forced myself to stop doing conveyors and pipelines across the map

[next terrace]

Um... yer gonna hate my bade

[restive parcel]

😭 its fine everyone does it

[next terrace]

Yea its my first real save

[last bluff]

I don't

[restive parcel]

ay a real one

[next terrace]

Although i have never been more annoyed at myself since i tried making nitric acid

[glad leaf]

i use power lines to transport items across the map

[restive parcel]

i use the dimensional depot

[last bluff]

I got that European train blood inside me

[glad leaf]

u got a rectangle?

[restive parcel]

ayyy i got that vanderbilt railroad tycoon in me 😎

[last bluff]

God I wish powered train tracks could just deliver the power like a powerline

[restive parcel]

i love trains sm

[glad leaf]

same

[restive parcel]

they do..? was that a joke and im too dumb to realize

[last bluff]

You mean autism? Sure, that too

[next terrace]

Trains are cool but i barely use them

[restive parcel]

REAL

[last bluff]

Do they?

[next terrace]

Mainly cause im bad at infrastructure

[restive parcel]

yea i'm reliant on that lol i hate power lines

[glad leaf]

i have autism

[restive parcel]

thanks for sharing man man

oh thats one hell of a typo

[glad leaf]

nah it was one letter off

[last bluff]

I only discovered very recently that you can link plants together to not need as many power poles

[jagged nymph]

this is tkaing so long

i have to belt over 4320 limestone/m

[glad leaf]

YOU CAN DO THAT

[restive parcel]

Batteries yes not fuel power plants

[glad leaf]

o

[last bluff]

... Is that an SF+ feature then?

[jagged nymph]

you can only do that with batteries

[jagged nymph]

yes it is

[last bluff]

Oh oops

[restive parcel]

I could never get into SF+, it's so complex

This coming from somebody who can barely do computers right tho

[jagged nymph]

i tried sf+, i automated.... iron and tin ingots, thats it, after like 2 hours

[last bluff]

I get burned out from vanilla because my ADHD riddled brain can't focus on the early game

[jagged nymph]

oh and concrete

[jagged nymph]

REAL i hate the early game but once i get past it i can lock in\

[restive parcel]

Wait early game is like the nicest part, do yall not also obsess over making massive biomass plants?

[jagged nymph]

thats my LEAST favorite thing

[last bluff]

Same here btw, you could go endgame in vanilla before getting even building the space elevator in SF+

[jagged nymph]

theres just so much stuff to automate

[last bluff]

SF+ allows for automated biomass >:3c

[restive parcel]

AY???

ite bet imma give it another go in that case :3

[last bluff]

[glad leaf]

i need coopons

I'm always short on alien remains

[next terrace]

Hola am back

[last bluff]

You need so many to keep your bio plants running

[restive parcel]

my current bio plant is a backup and it accounts for half my total production of energy

[jagged nymph]

oh yeah i forgot you can turn remains into biomass

[restive parcel]

it only needs 60/min at peak and i slooped the protein constructors

[glad leaf]

what does somersloop do

[last bluff]

tell you sweet little lies in your ear

[restive parcel]

yea that

[glad leaf]

other than that

[restive parcel]

(do the mam stuff lmao)

[last bluff]

That's the use

[glad leaf]

i dont have 100 fluctuators

then get them and youll learn

By the way, how much of the planet's mass is fungi?

[restive parcel]

:D

[last bluff]

HELL YEA

[jagged nymph]

no its strange alien matter you donut

[gentle lava]

NO MORE 8 BIOMASS BURNERS

[glad leaf]

now 8 coal gens

[last bluff]

*idiot

[gentle lava]

I HAVE 8 HAHA

[last bluff]

Or, *blasphemous buffoon

[restive parcel]

*goober

[last bluff]

I have 8 coal

[glad leaf]

i jave abour 4 sum thousand

[gentle lava]

the only thing is that coal is not getting to the end gens

[last bluff]

Skill issue

[gentle lava]

like the middle one has 70 in it but the end has none

[last bluff]

Augment your coal production using grass and wood coal

[jagged nymph]

are you
a) not producing enough coal
b) the manifolds need to fill up still
c) your belt speed isnt high enough

[gentle lava]

it 120/min going into 8 gens

[jagged nymph]

alright that eliminates a

[restive parcel]

do people actually do that??? i couldn't imagine doing anything but throwing away any wood or leaves you pick up after getting coal power

[jagged nymph]

now is it b or c

[last bluff]

Let me redactor this message to be easier to read:

a) are you not producing enough coal
b) are you the manifolds need to fill up still
c) are you your belt speed isnt high enough

[gentle lava]

for b as soon as a coal get in its burns

forr the end gens'

so it doesnt pile up at all

[jagged nymph]

you understood it didnt you 🙄

[last bluff]

FICSIT is not happy with you

[jagged nymph]

how many generators are full of coal

[glad leaf]

im not haooy with you

[normal orbit]

8 coal gens will hold 800 coal + belt space, and if you're burning as you fill up, first gen will get 60/min until full, 2nd 15/min until 1st full then 52,5 until full and so on

it takes time

[gentle lava]

1

[potent flicker]

Idk what to pick, I posted a screenshot in #screenshots of my map.

[gentle lava]

so just leave it running?

[jagged nymph]

it takes a while for those manifolds to fill ip

[gentle lava]

ah I inda understand

kinda

[restive parcel]

nooo im sorry i repent of my wicked sin of wasting

[jagged nymph]

yep, thats the thing with manifolds. THeyre easy to setup and take up a small amount of space, but they take a bit to fill up cause the first machines has to fill up, then it overflows into the second, once the second fills up it overflows into the third, etc

[gentle lava]

now do i just get rid of all my biomass burners

[jagged nymph]

once you know your coal power is running stably then yeah prolly

[gentle lava]

welp its gonna be a yes anyways im done collecting 2k leafs for 30mins of usage

[last bluff]

I like making an input container which just sorts my items for that reason

[jagged nymph]

?

[gentle lava]

well now what do I do

[potent flicker]

Still dont know what side of the edge of the world I want my main base to be...

[jagged nymph]

i feel like a megafactory over that void hole near grassy plains with a hole in the middle would be cool

[restive parcel]

Under the map

[wintry needle]

The new Update 1.2 was annoucend to include a Fluid Rework right ? Do we know, what that‘ll include ?

[last bluff]

Skyblock if it was good:

[restive parcel]

I heard rumors of a fluid truck! :D

[jagged nymph]

nope, but should hopefully lower the number of #1038092680493801533 posts that show up when you search fluid lol

[jagged nymph]

not rumors, they showed it multiple times

[restive parcel]

I say green

[potent flicker]

So basically north?

and not northeast?

[restive parcel]

northeast isn't close to the BEST area of the map

the swamp :3

[potent flicker]

I dont like the look of the swamp tbh

This isnt for a facotry this is for a base.

[restive parcel]

Well like for a base, you'd probably be best off going for somewhere in the general middle of the map

Easy access to the HUB from anywhere

[potent flicker]

eh... idk

[normal orbit]

build the base somewhere pretty like titan forest or red forest then, why over the sippy?

[potent flicker]

I do want a lot of space for my base

[jagged nymph]

mines in the rocky desert by the tallest peak

[potent flicker]

I've seen people commonly make there base in the top corner of the map

[restive parcel]

You could also just do it underground and make a bunch of inhalers to survive dipping below the surface to get in

Plenty of room there fr

It's where mine is

[potent flicker]

I do have a mod that let's me go underground

[last bluff]

You could do it in the ground

[potent flicker]

also I dont need inhalers

[restive parcel]

ayyyy send me that sounds tight

[potent flicker]

get satisfacorty mod manager

[last bluff]

Lol

[restive parcel]

yea its installed 😭 whats the mod called

[potent flicker]

also, I'll make the surface of my base in the in the top corner but also have an underground too, I also have a mod that removes the world border too

[reef basin]

for a base, you're best to not have just one base

[last bluff]

LOL

[real shale]

Titan forest? Pretty? Maybe without the trees it would be

[restive parcel]

I mean the HUB base

[potent flicker]

It's literally called "Simple Underground"

[real shale]

My next project, encase all of the titan forest trees in concrete

[reef basin]

HUB base is just hub and possibly space elevator, that can be moved anywhere anytime

[restive parcel]

Oh it's that one? bet thx

[last bluff]

Wait please tell me, does the other big landmass have golf?

[potent flicker]

np

[restive parcel]

UNBELIEVABLY BASED

[jagged nymph]

i just learned like 2 days ago that you made satisfactorytools

[gentle lava]

i have one spare ironnode left should i use it to make a modular frame factory or redirect the reinforced iron plates from my reinforced plate factory

[last bluff]

Screws

[jagged nymph]

thats personal preference

[potent flicker]

idk, I also have a mod that allows me to make land too and it has collision too so maybe.

[gentle lava]

ill use the spare

[real shale]

I gotta love how this game forces engineer thinking

[jagged nymph]

i mean............ from some of the things ive seen people do it doesnt really force it just encourages it

[last bluff]

Compared to my actual past job, I haven't drank while playing yet

[real shale]

I mean, the FICSIT motto is pretty much the engineer way

[glad leaf]

its 4 am. why am i here

[potent flicker]

lol, 2 am for me XD

[restive parcel]

Same

[glad leaf]

how long ago was 10:00 pm

[restive parcel]

the factory must grow

[glad leaf]

yea

[sterile blade]

Doesn't matter much if they don't care to enforce such motto xD

[glad leaf]

IVE BEEN PLAYING FOR 6 hours straight

and i still dont have that water

[real shale]

Natural selection

This game has plenty of areas to weed out the non-dedicated pioneers

[sterile blade]

I mean... It barely requires automation to complete. I have a hard time calling that "forced engineering" when you can just hand-feed any Spelevator production 🤷‍♂️
(Ie: they take so little items, it's easy enough to just hand-feed the required inputs)

I mean if you want to hand feed all the copper powder required for 1000 nuclear pasta, be my guest

Actually, you can't hand-feed them all I'm realising, pressure conversion cubes can't be completely hand fed because of the nitrogen from fused frames :P

That one item (nuclear Pasta) a good example of how to make an item that needs some automation, given the sheer volume of inputs required. It's a shame (imo) it's the only one :/

Eg: if one needs to move more than a few ISCs worth of items, automating the process becomes appealing

[real shale]

That's my point, the sheer scale of it puts people off not automating and forces them to

Either that or they just get bored and burnout and stop playing

Seeing so few people actually making proper production lines for spelevator parts make me very doubtful of that.

Arguably, one could say that Ficsonium is the most complex and non-hand-feedable production (byproduct management, importance of stable power output etc) and most people don't even touch nuclear at all (ie: people who wouldn't bother automating spelevator parts, preferring to hand-feed whatever possible)

Just for clarity, I'm not trying to bash on any way to play the game, just trying to analize what are the most commonly used approaches and why (ie: does the game "enforce" engineering thinking? I'd say it encourages it, but it's far from enforcing it)

[sterile blade]

There's a few different lists of "recommended settings" that can greatly enhance the GI experience in SF.
But in regards to the "light shafts" from lights, the only way to make them bearable is turning down the strength of light (12% or lower iirc)

[real shale]

Yeah which is a shame, because at that intensity it feels like there's no light at all

I would love to make use of the flood lights more for aesthetic purposes but it's just.... Ugh

There's also that REALLY weird lighting bug when you point the flood lights directly down the light points up

[sterile blade]

What do you mean by "miss something"? I don't understand 😅

[void cliff]

They are adding some more content in 1.2, for sure. Fluid trucks is one thing that we know is being added. You won’t “miss it” if you start playing in 1.1

[ornate saffron]

well. 1.2 doesnt have a release date. only a experimental release. you may be waiting several months.
i wouldnt worry about what the future may bring. i would just play

[sterile blade]

At some point, the normal game will be on par with Experimental. You eventually will have all the content, there's nothing EXCLUSIVE to Experimental (other than bugs)

[normal orbit]

they have said 1.2 will have new game modes, but we dont really know what they are aside probably node randomization

[fallow jasper]

Hi everyone. I am new to the game and I just started building my first crude oil extractor.. (I place my miner on a Pure node if it matters). I want to generate some electricity from the setup as a good bonus to the operation, but im not sure if I should go the route with Fuel or Coal generator?

My idea is to either:
A) Make Fuel with the heavy oil residue, then convering the fuel in a Fuel Generator.
B) Make Petroleum Coke with the heavy oil residue, then burning it in a coal generator

Any tips are welcome

[ornate saffron]

Factory cart jousting

[normal orbit]

you make a lot more power making fuel and burning it than making coke and burning that. a fuel gen takes 20 fuel to make 250mw, while a coal gen takes 25 coke to make 75mw

[sterile blade]

Coal also requires much more piping for the same amount of power

[fallow jasper]

I see! I will make the fuel generator then! 😄 Thanks @normal orbit and @sterile blade

[ornate saffron]

i was playing not earlier then update 6. but i Say 7 as i cant really remember,

I am waiting for experimental 1.2. Want to see the new game mode as I doubt you can add that to a world after creation

[sterile blade]

I think I started when they added trains to EA (U2?) or just before that, having heard of the hype through teasers/trailers

[ornate saffron]

Vanilla base game mode will likely be the best way for a new player to play the game

[sterile blade]

Surely a copy (or several) ought to be lying somewhere...

[ornate saffron]

some would say your vision of a world without pipes was just a ...... pipedream

They did two updates very close together

The good old days

[normal orbit]

i think they did UE5.0 to 5.2 in update 8, but i could be misremembering

didnt really change a lot, least gameplay wise, took a lot of effort to give us hypertube cannons back, working vehicles and more. tho i love the global illumination being added with it

but a modern platform prob makes future updates and features easier so worth for that

[sharp rose]

can someone just give me a run down on what biomass burners do becasue i thouht they were to power sstuff but i cant connect them to anything

[green fiber]

And why not? No open connections ?

[hearty storm]

hey guys, im relatively new to the game and was wondering does pipes flowrate work the same way conveyers does? Lets say Im want to connect coal powered gens to a single pipe manifold considering my current max FR of 300 would it only allow me to attach 6.66 generators to it? 🤔

[sharp rose]

i cant connect them with the power lines?

[reef basin]

pipes can flow in both directions

[sharp rose]

am i supposed to be able to

[green fiber]

Flow is flow.
The math works the same for throughput, but it works in more directions that belts

[green fiber]

have you accidentally connected them to something else already ?

Because yes, biomass burnees have a power attachment

[sharp rose]

okay and do they just produce power for me to connect to my miners ect?

[green fiber]

Yeah, if you give them biomass

[sharp rose]

okay ill give that a try now thanks mate

[hearty storm]

so would a single pipeline connected to enough water extractor satisfy multiple coal generators? im planning to make 36 generators connected to 14-15 water extractors do i need to run multiple pipes or a single would be enough?

[green fiber]

Just like belts, pipes have limits

Check your limits

[reef basin]

look at the numbers at coal gens, pipes and extractors

[normal orbit]

look at how much a extractor produce and how much flow a mk1 pipe can do

[hearty storm]

mk1 says 300 max FR... so i guess it can only handle 6.66 CPGens which require 45 cubic meter per min

[sharp rose]

is it a better version to the ones connected to my hub?

[normal orbit]

yes

[green fiber]

The ones you can build? They burn fuel faster but make 30 MW instead of 20

[green fiber]

That way around, yes

If you interconnect pipes with junctions, you can pull off 3 extractors to 8 generators.
Because while the pipes have flow limits, the junctions can handle more.

And the limit is only for a single pipe segment.

As machines sip water from pipes, the pipes empty and thus you can add more water back in once it is empty enough

[sharp rose]

last question, what is the best way to get biomass becuase im just using a chainsaw

[green fiber]

Chainsaw

[sharp rose]

perfect thanks alot

[hearty storm]

ohh gotchaaa how did i not think of that lol yea makes alot of sense to have a small network i guess.. thanks boss

[ornate saffron]

Make sure you are using the area mode.

I say this because....

[sharp rose]

area mode?

[green fiber]

Chainsaw has 2 modes

Single (only one plant gets cut) or area (multiple plants get cut at once)

Any pro tip using big blueprints? I need to craft one blueprint which uses 3k5 steel beams, 5k6 iron plates and 5k6 quartz crystal. How do i manage the inventory? I was thinking about using drones to bring me resources hahah

[ornate saffron]

3k5?

5k6?

[primal lintel]

3500 steel beams and 5600 quartz crystal

[normal orbit]

that is not how you write that

3.5k

[primal lintel]

sorry, im used to write 3k5 in my main language :x

[ornate saffron]

all good i just needed clairification

[normal orbit]

does it take 3500 steel beams to build it or is it processing that amount?

[ornate saffron]

you can stack constructors in the blueprinter. the mk2 is 5x5 so you could in theory get 40 or so if you go tight

[primal lintel]

It uses that amount to placec the blueprint. Its one part of this big tower #design-and-architecture message

[normal orbit]

right, you can either make smaller blueprints to work within the depot limitations, or just pull items from depot and let it refill until you got enough. or have some storage near you can just pick up from

[primal lintel]

uff okey, i guess its going to take many time to build it hahah. I think im going to build a lot of drones to bring me materials

thanks!!

[lusty granite]

hello guys

i started my new satisfactory save

but with no mods (except for zoopable foundations)

[ornate saffron]

infinite zoop i assume you mean

[lusty granite]

yeah

[modest quiver]

does the gravity effect water?

[lusty granite]

ficsit made me

[lusty granite]

yes. you need to place pumps for any liquid except for gases

(if the liquid is going upwards)

[modest quiver]

oh ok

i mean like if liquid going down then does it need pump?

[lusty granite]

yes

[normal orbit]

depends what its going down into

[lusty granite]

wait no

[modest quiver]

water tanks

[lusty granite]

if liquid going up, then place pump

if down, then no

[normal orbit]

well then you'll need pumps on the other side of the tanks

using buffers is generally not a good idea

[modest quiver]

i just delete the SMM like 2 weeks ago to saving space but i need to play mod, how to install it again?

[lusty granite]

you can just go on their site and install it again

[modest quiver]

okay, ty

wait, what the page?

[fallow jasper]

If I want to set my my crude oil operation to fill a fuel generator. What the process after I made Heavy Oil Residue in the big tank? Just hook it right up to the fuel generator and select "fuel"? Or do I need to make fuel cans or something?

<3 @ornate saffron

[ornate saffron]

modding discord if you have detailed indpeth questions

[lusty granite]

so you first have to set up an refinery. connect heav oil residue to the refinery and make fuel. after that, connect fuel to the fuel powered generator and it should work

[normal orbit]

dont use tanks/buffers. You need to process the heavy oil residue into fuel inside a refinery. then pipe the fuel to fuel generators.

[lusty granite]

you dont need tanks. just hook it up straight from the refinery

[fallow jasper]

why not tank/buffers? I also make rubber and plastic so i plan to use the residue thats left for power

[lusty granite]

but why? i dont really see the point of setting up buffers

i mean it doesnt do anything. i would say it would kinda slow down the production

since it has to pass through the buffer first

[fallow jasper]

I guess you are right

damn

[lusty granite]

you set up the refinery for plastic, and the residue can instantly go to an another refinery to produce oil

[normal orbit]

they more often than kill flowrates cause fluids can go in or out in both ends of it. unless you force it with a pump on each end, they're super unreliable, and they dont provide any benefits

[modest quiver]

why i cant download mods? it appear a red block thing

[lusty granite]

?

can you show us a picture?

[modest quiver]

i cant

i cant send pics here

[normal orbit]

should prob ask modding questions in the modding discord

[lusty granite]

#screenshots

[lusty granite]

yeah that too

[modest quiver]

#screenshots message

when i take pics it disapear

it a red like block sign

[lusty granite]

if you mean on the top, then you can ignore it

[normal orbit]

are you playing on experimental?

[modest quiver]

no?

[fallow jasper]

I lifed my tubes up maybe 2-3 meters to go over my conveyor belt.. Will this impact my performance due to gravity or flow rate?

[modest quiver]

ver 1.1

[lusty granite]

i dont think so

but if it is slower, then you can place a pump

[modest quiver]

or i leave satisfactory?

im currently playing it rn

[fallow jasper]

how do I know if it is slower?

[normal orbit]

typically not, but it depends where the feed comes from

[lusty granite]

if i remember correctly, when you click E on a pipe, a flow rate thing will appear

[ornate saffron]

pumps dont effect flow speed

[lusty granite]

if its low (really on the left) then its slow

[fallow jasper]

Goes from the exit on my refinery, up 2-3 meters, over my conveyer belt, then down again.

[normal orbit]

tho i would recommend just having the whole pipe at that height, ups/down reduces how far fluids can go

[lusty granite]

what?

[modest quiver]

there was no experienmantal tags

[lusty granite]

wdym

[modest quiver]

i dont play experienmantal version

[ornate saffron]

i mean exactly that. Pumps are for headlift not speed

[lusty granite]

i mean i know they help to pump if its going up

[normal orbit]

pumps dont increase flow speed, but they affect the flow rate

[lusty granite]

oh damn

i guess i never knew

i try to help from what i know

i have like 50 hours

so sorry for any mistakes

[ornate saffron]

to be fair you cannot see any fluid effects directly you can only infrer what is happening

[modest quiver]

oh, nvm i was playing the game so that the prolems

[normal orbit]

if you put 400/min into a mk2 pipe, a pump isnt gonna make it more than 400/min, but it will allow the fluid to push further down the pipes/manifold

[ornate saffron]

it is no problem
its the internet if you mess up someone will be

"um Actually!

[fallow jasper]

So TLDR, fix my tubes so they dont go up 2 meters, and rather have my conveyer belt in the air?

[ornate saffron]

either work. yu can raise both if you wish

[normal orbit]

they do more than just headlift, people thinking that is usually their main reason for pipe issues :p

[ornate saffron]

for sure. Imn not saying the only effect headlift

[fallow jasper]

but if i raise my tubes it will effect my flow/production?

[reef basin]

#screenshots isn't for troubleshooting, it's for showing off bases

use proper channels like #1038092680493801533

[ornate saffron]

like many things it depends on the larger picture.

[lusty granite]

my bad

[fallow jasper]

Yeah I understand its hard to answer without a picture or full overview. but raising my tubes a little bit should not really have an impract on performance?

[lusty granite]

not really

[reef basin]

if you want to ask with pictures, use the above mentioned #1038092680493801533 🙂

[normal orbit]

try it, build your upside down U, see if it prevents flow in any way. if it does, build a straight pipe at that elevation, does that help? if not, add a pump. etc just normal troubleshooting steps.

[lusty granite]

it should be good if its a bit in the air

[fallow jasper]

thx guys

[ornate saffron]

this act against god functions

[unkempt blade]

I like it. It's not just boring right angle piping

[fallow jasper]

oh god

[void cliff]

If spaghetti is faster to set up, is it really bad?

[normal orbit]

if you're happy with it and it works, its not bad

your game, play how you like

[weak bloom]

This is why I can never play this game in coop

[ornate saffron]

no,

its like that saying

if it works, it aint stupid

[weak bloom]

Everyone else and their logistic and aesthetic sensibilities are WRONG

[ornate saffron]

the things i could make you see would give you nightmares

[normal orbit]

a tidy factory is a sign of a tidy mind :p

[void cliff]

My child joined my game and made a house and conveyor belt slides

[elfin smelt]

it's easier to troubleshoot too

[ornate saffron]

i have many tidy clean factories.

it all depends on goals.

[weak bloom]

The only coop satisfactory I can get behind is when it's full on pvp and you try to sabotage everyone else's factories while building your own. First to make a certain number of automated elevator parts wins

Do stuff like replace a single mk2 pipe segment with a mk1 pipe segment and hide it with a pump

[zenith pecan]

I try to build tidy.

[weak bloom]

You can get EVIL with pvp satisfactory

[normal orbit]

thats devious

[ornate saffron]

i only joined this discord in october 2025, since then i have only played 75 hours or so. (1000 hours total?)

Ive learned everything my myself by experimentation in game. Lots of unhinged messy builds in the name of science

[clever sandal]

where can i help with translation

[void cliff]

Spending more time in the discord than playing the game makes me sad

[reef basin]

read this

#open-a-ticket message

[ornate saffron]

same when i am not experimenting.

when i am i dont care. Im just trying to figure out what works

[clever sandal]

aight bro thanks

now i gotta wait....

[pure orbit]

Hello everyone

I am back alive

[clever sandal]

ig bro

[fluid sapphire]

satisfactory but its like rust, nice

[clever sandal]

#off-topic-general

[fluid sapphire]

still, i think that would be not so hard to track down

unless spaghetti

[clever sandal]

anti-enemy strategy

[fluid sapphire]

clean visually trace-able builds would be very hard to sabotage

[clever sandal]

exactly

[fluid sapphire]

my builds are safe

[clever sandal]

mine are so-so

they are like linear but somewhat messy

[normal orbit]

Delete a junction. Place a MK1 pipe in its place then clip a new junction over it :p prob would take some time to find
