satisfactory

[proud leaf]

is there a reason not to use full 250% power on machines from power slugs?

[sick falcon]

the power usage scales faster than the speed

a 200% clocked machine uses 250% power

[proud leaf]

what's the best speed

[elfin smelt]

theres also the power shard cost in itself

[proud leaf]

for start of game

[sick falcon]

whatever you need out of the machine

[proud leaf]

i have 600 watts of power

so i'm just asking

[elfin smelt]

just enough for the next machine(s) in the line

[cyan eagle]

Guys should I start a new world or try to improve my current one?

[sick falcon]

the only things you NEED to overlock really are miners and pumps and other resource extractors

[proud leaf]

oh god i have 300 max consumation

[elfin smelt]

overproducing will result in yellow lights

[proud leaf]

bro i pop up showed up saying u been playing for 2 hours ficist would want u to take a break for coffee or wheatver it says ficist would never say that

[spare prism]

can you make the reactory explode

[jagged nymph]

no

[spare prism]

darn

maybe there a mod for that

I love causing issues and make alarms ring

oh no the meltdown alarm

[thin pilot]

pure caterium or adhered iron plates?

which would be better?

[ornate saffron]

depends on what reesources you ar3e willinjg to use. Both like most reccipes are a matter of choice

[proud leaf]

yo i got yellow flowers growing?

[sick falcon]

dont choose one untl you need it

if you keep both as options, they cant show up in other hard drives

[thin pilot]

good idea

on the search for heavy oil residue atm

got the diluted

[sick falcon]

heavy oil residue the lebron of oil products

[thin pilot]

yep

then its make shift oil power

till I can make a turbo plant

[mystic oriole]

skip oil

[ornate saffron]

turbo is "oil power" but i understand.

[thin pilot]

ye im gonna do fuel to power the turbo

my 1.8mw grid cannot support that

[mystic oriole]

skip oil power, just go straight to nuclear

[sudden flint]

Hear me out: new alt recipie
4m^3 Heavy Oil Residue + 2 polymer resin = 3m^3 Crude oil

[tame jacinth]

Immediately breaks the game cuz of sloops just generating free oil

[proud leaf]

what gender is the pioneer we play as?

[sick falcon]

nonbinary

[proud leaf]

hmm

[scenic kettle]

I had to spend way too much time checking every single fuel generator because I connected two to each other by accident

[mystic oriole]

Either that the pioneer is Clankersexual

[proud leaf]

so i have a coal generator area is it smart to have the coal from mine mk's go toi the coal generators then later find a diffrent area to get the item for stuff?

Chat after like 5 days im almost done getting everything hooked up for trains for my aluminum plant

Once I'm home I have one more station too build and hook up

And then I can finally start on the aluminum plant

Still don't know where I wanna put it wait

It needs very little water def in the grassy fields then I think

[scenic kettle]

Were you being inefficient with the time you spent playing satisfactory or did you spend a lot of time on aesthetics

[thin pilot]

hate the 10 minutes per hard drive

[scenic kettle]

How much bauxite are you using?

[cunning glade]

Just haven't been playing

[tame jacinth]

Its the main thing I use mods for

[spare prism]

how much time do you think it will take to complete

[cunning glade]

Per min 12300

[scenic kettle]

Wait 5 days irl not 120 hours

[tame jacinth]

I cant make refineries look good so I just put it in paradise island

[thin pilot]

dont blame you

[scenic kettle]

Dam nice any fun alternates you are using?

[cunning glade]

Ye more like a week I just haven't been locking in had too complete an event in star citizen

[cunning glade]

I think just cheap silica

[tame jacinth]

Also lizzard doggo hard hats and wasd controller for hypertube junctions

[cunning glade]

Still took prolly like 5-10 hours tho

[scenic kettle]

Sloppy alumina too?

[scenic kettle]

Wait a dam second this time frame feels Italian

[cunning glade]

What

[scenic kettle]

Spaghetti

5-10 hours is not that long for so much bauxite

[thin pilot]

ive got 2 hours worth of hard drives to go through for oil

[shut gyro]

im trying to move my base, and im really early game, like i havent even sent the first space elevator upgrade yet

[tame jacinth]

Turbofuel alts or rocket fuel stuff

[shut gyro]

whats the best way to move my base? rn im ziplining and just moving all the stuff by hand

[thin pilot]

heavy oil

[tame jacinth]

Residue is goated

And diluted

[scenic kettle]

I just gabled for diluted packaged fuel and won

[thin pilot]

do you use a alt for turbo fuel

[cunning glade]

Better than oil

[thin pilot]

got that already

[cunning glade]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=G6Fe1u2zZn8POnoNAu2H

Got that all hooked up too trains basically

[thin pilot]

I actually need to unlock turbo

[cunning glade]

I can soon start building the factory that actually makes the aluminum

[tame jacinth]

I was almost done with my 1 tw rocket fuel setup when I unlocked rocket fuel

[cunning glade]

What did u use for 1tw?

As if u didn't do nitro that's a lot of oil

And if u did nitro that's a lot of the sulfur gone

[scenic kettle]

That is a lot of oil used for something that doesn't require it

[cunning glade]

Not really

There isn't anything else I can use so

[sudden flint]

the character model, she be female. as for pronouns, I don't think it matters

they are what you are

or what you make of them anyway

[scenic kettle]

It is for me (I'm getting carried away with fuel power plants every time)

[cunning glade]

My current power plant uses 3900 oil and makes 800gw

[thin pilot]

is there a better turbo fuel recipe then the basic one you get>

[covert quarry]

are there specific locations on the map to find power slugs with ease? or are they rng?

[sick falcon]

theres 3 recipes, but none are objectively better than the others

[cunning glade]

Map is fully hand made

[scenic kettle]

Rocket fuel?

[fickle locust]

They're always in the same spot

[sick falcon]

the map is preset, you can use an online map if you want

[cunning glade]

Everything placed how the devs want

[cunning glade]

Ye

[thin pilot]

are they all equal ratios

[sick falcon]

or use the object scanner

[scenic kettle]

The residue one is worse

[sick falcon]

no, they have different inputs and outputs

[sick falcon]

i mean yea other than that one i cant imagine ever using that one

[sick falcon]

have you unlocked blenders yet

[covert quarry]

the one with hor and compacted coal is pretty good

[thin pilot]

didnt even think about that

[scenic kettle]

Who just sent some weird discord invite

[thin pilot]

shit

sent a gif that didnt work

[tame jacinth]

Used both based off of the calculator

[scenic kettle]

Diluted doubles it it is inefficient

[cunning glade]

How much a min cuz wack it just had me use the standard

I make 9454.54 a min

Also do there be water in the rocky desert

[thin pilot]

guess in setling for fuel

bc im not even past teir 3

[covert quarry]

i mean everyone has their own prefrence i guess💁 i make 50.000 MW from it

[cunning glade]

Cuz I'm thinking that with making one place for all of my aluminum center of the map might be better than grassy fields and in the corner of the map

[scenic kettle]

Just set up some diluted packaged fuel

[cunning glade]

Just train and drone logstic wise

[thin pilot]

I am gonna

[scenic kettle]

It is time efficient

[tame jacinth]

16670

I make extra cuz I dont want to deal with fluid slop

Also 67

[scenic kettle]

I'm disappointed

[cunning glade]

Wym

[jagged nymph]

Stfu

[tame jacinth]

Drop in the bucket

[tame jacinth]

I find making slight extra fluids or gasses helps to avoid some of the weirdness that pipes do

[cunning glade]

I don't find pipes weird but fair

[sick falcon]

never settle for fuel, even base turbofuel is miles better

[thin pilot]

just temp

till I can get turbo will be like a pure node

[proven snow]

I always settled for fuel, never even used turbo

[cunning glade]

I mean I made 60gw from standard and it lasted me till rocketfuel normal is fine

[proven snow]

Gonna try turbo next time tho

[tame jacinth]

They aren't bad or anything but especially for long pipelines going from blue crater to the void sometimes pipes will just have inconsistent flow rates

[cunning glade]

Biomass coal fuel rocketfuel is what I do

In that order then I'll do nuclear once I can

Should add like 1.4tw

I think

So I'll be at like 2tw

[ornate saffron]

Knowing you? 15 hours

[full marlin]

[thin pilot]

mk2 pipes almost to fuel power

[sick falcon]

if i ran a second train on a line it would effectively cut the round trip time in half right

[thin pilot]

dont know if I should do 1 pure node or 2 for my basic fuel plant

[weak tinsel]

My biggest pet peeve early game is that wood and leaves biomass are separate recipes

[rancid turret]

it wouldn't affect round trip time, the graph is per freight car; it's more like doubling throughput

[thin pilot]

can you make things over clocked on satisfactory tool?

[tall lantern]

tools doesn't care how you clock

[thin pilot]

so you see the actual amount of buildings

[tall lantern]

it just tells you the total % you need, you build according to what makes sense for your factory

[near mural]

is turbofuel truly that big of a diffrence over base fuel?

[tall lantern]

that'll depend on who you ask

[thin pilot]

turbo is 7.5/m fuel is 20/m

[ornate saffron]

I usally skip it.

Heavy oil residue to Packaged diluted fuel is pretty good. And nitro rocket fuel is to good

[near mural]

so turbo over doubles the fuel gens you can run?

[thin pilot]

and its 1:3 ratio

[thin pilot]

like 6x

6 and abit

[short mist]

Nini

[thin pilot]

I think

wait no nvm

[short mist]

Have fun building IKEA

[thin pilot]

ignore me im reading an alr that also needs heavy oil residue

its a 6:5 ratio for fuel and turbo

[near mural]

wanted to do a packaged diluted fuel plant but i was too focused up on progression and now im close enough to rocket fuel i feel like itd be a waste atp </3

[rancid turret]

rocket fuel is the goat

[thin pilot]

I mean you need fuel to make rocket

[tall lantern]

and that's why some say it's not useful. And others just say "meh just go straight to nuclear"

[sick falcon]

but the max throughput of 2 trains at 10 minutes round trip would be at the same place on the graph as 1 train with 5 minute round trip?

[ornate saffron]

Nitro rocket fuel needs T8 i think and its great

[rancid turret]

no, it's not linear like that

[ornate saffron]

casnt factory must grow

[thin pilot]

think its worth doing fuel with 1200 crude then upgrade that to a turbo then send a big rocket factory?

[ornate saffron]

at the very least its good experience

[fervent folio]

Hello Guys right now I'm trying to complete phase 2 I have all of the 1000 of the smart plates and like 50 of the structural ones and since my base right now is really bad I was thinking of dismantling everything and just make everything again but this time more clean and well planned out. However I was also thinking I should just hold off with what I have now till I unlock stage 2 then place everything but I'm not sure. I just thought some input would help since I'm leaning on just dismantling everything now.

[thin pilot]

give me some good experience with big builds hopefully

[thin pilot]

prob wait till you finish phase 2

im gonna work on proper factories with a big grid using fuel

wdym lol

[ornate saffron]

no get your own save

free hug 🫂

[thin pilot]

what have I missed from him

[sick falcon]

i prefer to refine all the way from crude to rocket fuel in one factory, that way i can send the compacted coal byproduct back into the loop

saves a lot of sulfur and coal

[ornate saffron]

totalxclipse uploaded his HOR-DF-Turbo fuel supoer cut today.

some cook building

[thin pilot]

ive been slowly watching his stuff its such a satisfying watch

[thin pilot]

I just need basic power to power a bigger power plant so in the end it would be looped but I just want to make makeshift ones with a pure node or 2 for the basics so I can go BIG

im watching his most recent season then im guessing

[spare prism]

bruh

[thin pilot]

only recent getting back into it

like 45hrs into my save

like what?

I started the save on release ish

[cunning glade]

Why do u want his save

[thin pilot]

oof

[abstract heron]

Hi aliens aka @unborn gyro

[thin pilot]

im trying to get some big nice looking builds going eventually but its rough working with a very crippled power grid

[cunning glade]

I got one if so tho you'll need mods

DM me if u wanna I don't mind I like sharing

[thorn cave]

how much plastic and rubber should i be making passively

[thin pilot]

grid atm is only 1800MW

[cunning glade]

Like mods wise idk or save

[humble osprey]

Is there a mod that adds ships?

We need ships

[cunning glade]

Spaceships or boats?

[humble osprey]

Boats duh

They would work like trains

[thin pilot]

not ark 😢

god forbid the pc storage destroyer

[weak tinsel]

I'd absolutely love to have freighters

[thin pilot]

I bought all my pc upgrades bout 3 weeks before the boom

the ram I bought over doubled I belive

[zenith pecan]

Current project is moving 2400 coke & 2700 copper ore to a foundry site, particle accelerators are hungry monsters 🤣

[thin pilot]

lol

dont remember what my old gpu was

oh I had a 3050

[zenith pecan]

arc?

I have 24 so no issue with vram

This highlights my plans for copper #design-and-architecture message , I'm going to be building the foundry right next to the impure node.

Ah, my current save is only 24mb, keeps choking out scim though 😡

[loud surge]

how long do powershards last when overclocking?

[zenith pecan]

They don't die.

[loud surge]

thats insanely op

[zenith pecan]

Poer shards aren't consumable, they just let you set and forget.

[loud surge]

so so so so sexy

[spare prism]

I can tell you rn there’s not enough in the game to power all the machines

Wait until you build a mega factory

[zenith pecan]

With the number of machines I've got overclocked, I think I would hate life if I had to keep replacing the shards.

[loud surge]

thats less sexy but i suppose it needs some balance lmao

for?

[spare prism]

Let’s do the math

[zenith pecan]

In the late game you can automate synthetic shards, so there will be kinda ∞ shards on the map.

[loud surge]

are synth shards perma too?

[native stream]

i have a generator system in game that relies on constructors, but most have this issue where it’s all connected, but won’t accept anything being put in. i’ve snapped it countlessly, deleted and replaced the constructor, tried to rewire it. is this a bug? or am i missing something crucial?

[zenith pecan]

Yeah, in the end a shard is a shard.

You can't sink them though which is a bit of a downside unless you're making ionised fuel.

[spare prism]

@loud surge if you set up the duplicator you can get 5,318 total power shards in game

[loud surge]

sick

[loud surge]

im only phase 3

[zenith pecan]

Synthetic shard is just the name of the recipe,it's just automated power shards.

[loud surge]

44 motors off phase 4 though 💪

[ornate saffron]

wow, im in the zone. got home from work two hours ago and it seems like minutes

[spare prism]

When you put a sloop in a machine it doubles the output so you can 2x as much

[loud surge]

they are limited too i assume lol

[lime kayak]

anybody down to make a new world with me or need help in their world

[ornate saffron]

check #1201555265942724758 Lots of new folks looking for mentors

[zenith pecan]

Yeah, there are like 100 and change sloops, though sometimes when the game is updated, they all get repopped.

[thin pilot]

im so close to being able to sloop machines and get hundred of power shards

[unreal sand]

Yes

[loud surge]

the whole map get repopped yeah?

[zenith pecan]

Yeah, don't rely on it, when the game was updated from 1.0 to 1.1, every single sloop and sphere I had looted came back, and I farmed all of them before.

[loud surge]

im new af so i havent farmed many, have barely left my spawn zone lol

[karmic plaza]

hey just wanted to check, is Satisfactory multiplayer much worse than usual for crashing recently? Or is this just me.

[unreal sand]

I Like building factories

[whole robin]

Its ultraclocking, you only need steel pipes and computer chips to get them, aside from SAM

[zenith pecan]

My dune desert is beginning to get a bit crowded.

[loud surge]

havent found a single sam yet

[whole robin]

SAM isnt a collectible, its only found in nodes like any other ore

[thin pilot]

have you made alot of slugs into power shards?

[loud surge]

ahhhhh okay okay that explains it, is it radio active, i nearly died getting close to some pink stuff a minute ago

[thin pilot]

if not id save alot of them

[whole robin]

You usually will only find it in weird spots that are difficult to reaxh

[zenith pecan]

I still have some space though #design-and-architecture message

[loud surge]

like 50 shards maybe, but ive only used like 9

[whole robin]

Nah, that was just uranium :)

[thin pilot]

save the rest of them for when you can sloop a converter

lets you get like 10 from a purple slug for example

doubles everything

[whole robin]

Do you mean sloop a constructor?

[thin pilot]

yep

[zenith pecan]

I have some sloops reserved for my singularity cell production, that will way oversupply teleporters.

[thin pilot]

not there mentally anymore

[loud surge]

ahhh good to know, i marked it for later

[thin pilot]

trains

have now been unlocked

[loud surge]

top tip bro cheers

[thin pilot]

when ive been searching for hard drives just grab them and put them in a depo or smt

[whole robin]

If you get enough food/inhalers, you can just outheal the radiation

[thin pilot]

ive got like 150-200 shards worth in uploaf

[loud surge]

yeah i was mauling mushrooms and hitting a sick 180 lmao

[whole robin]

Or you could probably build from a safe distance to bring the SAM to somewhere that wont kill you

[supple canopy]

beware that every first cycle of a machine won't take into account the slooping, so try and build 3 separate constructors specifically made for processing slugs and that you never dismantle

[whole robin]

Ive gotten so many from sloops that i cant upload them all and theyre just sitting in a box

[thin pilot]

lol

ive got a decent size factory planned so it will be quite helpful for that

once I get this alt recipe

[whole robin]

Which recipe?

[thin pilot]

heavy oil residue is hiding from me

[whole robin]

Oh yeah ive been itching to use that one, but ive been saving near every drive i have to hunt for heavy encased frames

[thin pilot]

ive done 16 drives today

[whole robin]

In the library, i mean

[thin pilot]

just for this recipe

do you reroll them?

or save the roll

[whole robin]

Usually dont care about the roll unless its to swap inventory space for an actual recipe

[cunning glade]

I can't wait for pa

[thin pilot]

so you savig it?

bc ive been using all mine might be a mistake

[solemn vapor]

in the satisfactory modeler the splitters dont work why is this

[cunning glade]

I still don't get modeler

[thin pilot]

but at the same time it means ive done 32 hard drives by rerolling

[whole robin]

Have you been leaving ones you dont want in the library to make the pool smaller?

[thin pilot]

ye

but ive been using all the rerolls

[whole robin]

Then theyre not really wastes i suppose

[sick falcon]

i just have it make a single screw before switching to slugs

[zenith bear]

I’ve still never been able to find SAM

[thin pilot]

woooo I can sloom buildings

[past dune]

hold V button ingame

[thin pilot]

if you really stuggle you could use a map

[cunning glade]

What

[thin pilot]

will it reset things like drives and slooms

[cunning glade]

Tbh really only excited for rain

And only if they do rain well also hoping it's thunder too not just rain

[thin pilot]

havent really read the update stuff

[cunning glade]

Fluid truck preformace fixes I think somehow supposed too make fluids better

But I don't see why fluids are fine

[thin pilot]

O fluid update

[cunning glade]

Also weather

[sick falcon]

watching my lizard doggo get vaporized by a lightning strike

[thin pilot]

question about fluids actually

[ornate saffron]

hover pack power bug fixed. Drone hover fix, Truck bug fixes

[cunning glade]

Just please coffee stain ur audio is phenomenal

Make it so u can hear the rain hitting ur roof

[thin pilot]

so yk how water towers are used for alot of headlift does it matter what fluid it is like does it have to be oil to give oil headlift

[cunning glade]

Well it's only one fluid per pipe so

[thin pilot]

but with water towers its valved anyway so fluids dont go through

[cunning glade]

Tho maybe a tad confused with ur thing

[sick falcon]

it won’t let you connect pipes with different fluids even if they’re valved

[thin pilot]

just wasnt sure if it was dependent on the fluid for the headlift

[sick falcon]

i think

[thin pilot]

ooooo ok

good to know

[cunning glade]

I also don't use water towers I think they're lame and kinda cheating or exploiting idk tho if u like them use them

[sick falcon]

true all the water towers irl are cheating

[cunning glade]

The only application it may be worth for

Is my nuclear setup as I need some 500 fully oced water gens

[cunning glade]

Idk when I was introduced too them that's how I was like I said if u like them use them I find them cheap and unfun takes all the challenge out of pipes

Plus idk wouldn't look that good for my build style

[thin pilot]

ye I was just wondering tbh

[cunning glade]

Also just a waste of time cuz I often see them built up high cuz I never really have pipe issues

[cunning glade]

No ur all good this is just my rant on them

It's a single player game no wrong or right way too play

[thin pilot]

ye bc I want to build a pretty tall build when it comes to a pre nuclear power plant and want sure about using pumps

but I can make it work

there will be a way I can hide them when im planning it

[cunning glade]

See my thought process is when in doubt more pumps they don't really use power so

Mk3 pipes would be so nice tho

[crude canyon]

guys, do you prefer belts stacked vertically, or belts on the ground
Belts on the ground, you can see them, and belts stacked vertically are harder to go through

[sick falcon]

depends on where i am

and how much space i have

[thin pilot]

im thinking of having pipes visable through my power plant but now I think about it may not need pumps at all when its my final pre nuclear one

[crude canyon]

assume you have all the space you need

[sick falcon]

then whichever one fits in that space

if there’s space for both then the factory is too open and could be compacted better

[crude canyon]

I think I'll go with the horizontal stuff. like vertical may work for belts, but it may not go for a wall of pipes

[cunning glade]

But why compact them space isn't limited

I don't think too open is really that possible

Ideally leave ur self extra room Incase u need too expand

[sick falcon]

i like compacted factories that u can barely walk through

[cunning glade]

I like too remove my hoverpack and make sure my factory is walkable

[crude canyon]

ooh, I wanna see

I find it really hard for my factory to both be walkable, and have easy to see manifolds on the ground

[sick falcon]

catwalks are transparent

[crude canyon]

you mean the glass roof

[sick falcon]

no one of the two catwalk variations has a mesh floor i’m pretty sure

[crude canyon]

I see. So you also prefer belts on the ground, and then you put catwalks on top

[simple pebble]

I like vertical belts unless they're against a window or something

[loud surge]

i only know spaghetti belts personallly

[past dune]

how do i stop my game from updating next week or so when they send the update?

I need my mods, so would rather wait a week or 2, so most get updated.

[warm finch]

turn off automatic updates in steam settings for the game

[ornate frost]

if on steam, right click>properties>updates

[hoary scarab]

Can a tier 6 move itams from 2 miners at max efficiency mk3 fully power slugs?

[proven snow]

Update should just be on experimental, no?

[past dune]

theres 3 options:

wait until I launch the game
let steam decide
immedietly download..

theres no, dont frelling update the game

[tall lantern]

just don't opt into experimental

[warm finch]

you mean mk6 belt? mk6 belts move 1200/min

[hoary scarab]

No like

[past dune]

the game is updating next week i here

i want to avoid the update

[tall lantern]

only on experimental

[hoary scarab]

Can a 6k belt move 2 mk3 miners on both 1.2k/min

[warm finch]

Only experimental version is updating. stable 1.1 is not updating yet

[warm finch]

what do you mean by "6k belt"

[tall lantern]

can a belt that can fit 1200/min, fit two lots of 1200/min...

[past dune]

using many belts above 1200, tends to result in buggy games fyi..

[warm finch]

OH, Arthur are you referring to mods that increase belt speed?

If you're asking about mod related questions, you'll need to inquire on the mod discord:

<3 @warm finch

[past dune]

ok.. cool, but still just so I dont get bugged when it happens.. id like to know how to configure to only manually download it..

the options I see in steam are the previous 3 mentioned:

wait until I launch the game
let steam decide
immedietly download..

so how do i proceed?

[tall lantern]

you've got a long time til that's a concern

I don't have an answer (consider Google), but 1.2 won't be on live for a fair while yet

experimentals usually last a few months on average

[past dune]

I would still like to learn how... I'm here now.. I procrastinate enough in my life, it sux being encouraged to do it lol 🙂

[tall lantern]

consider Google
good news is it wouldn't be specific to this game, so there should be answers out there

[warm finch]

For that, you'll have to use offline mode

[hoary scarab]

Oh ale

[past dune]

steam offline mode?

[warm finch]

yes

[hoary scarab]

I am rn makeing a alumna factory should I drop them down to 1k bax so that way it dose not over crowd the refinery

[tall lantern]

if your factory expects 1200/min then you should give it 1200/min

[past dune]

if you designed your factory for a higher number, it wont clog.. but will slow everything

[tall lantern]

if it needs 6000/min somehow then you should give it that much, though obviously can't fit all that on one belt

[past dune]

the thing is... every buggy save ive ever seen, all had to do with belts going above 1200

[tall lantern]

if you're going over 1200 you must be playing modded, so that'd almost surely be the mod's fault

if you're using 1200, that's usually fine as long you don't do anything wacky, though IIRC there used to be some framerate dependence where you could lose throughput

[past dune]

so for example.. if you use a miner mk+++++ and you output more than 1200 per output, I suggest using a storage teleporter with a faster belt the shortest possible.. but as far as i know, you should never need a belt above 1200, most miner mods, have multiple output not going over 1200

also NEVER use any mods to change a belt speed...

also sooo many bugs

and sometimes,, it's so big, that your entire save and previous save gets corrupted

[tall lantern]

turns out when you bypass the limits the game's designed around,things might not work, who could've guessed

[past dune]

i just yesterday managed to help a friend whos entire save files for that build, like previous saves, and auto saves.. all out of the blue, happen to competly stop working

we had to open his save in SCIM,
uncheck the option for unknown buildings(top right of scim map)
then make a blueprint of the entire world, (it's easyer in full screen mode in SCIM for this) (without the unknown)
make a totally new game, enter do nothing, save file, exit game,
back to scim with the new save, and paste blueprint we just made earlier in SCIM,
then it worked, ofcourse now theres a few things missing.. from the unknown parts, and just got to go back and fix everything

[tall lantern]

yeah, that's always a risk with mods, they might break stuff

[past dune]

...

morale of the story, don't mess with belt speeds... ever...

but for some reason, every other mods, never game me permanent crashes, only belt related stuff..

I do recommand "covered conveyor belts" looks neat and can help with lag, I so wish they would vanilla this..

[rancid turret]

belts aren't a source of any lag for me

[spare prism]

bruh

I hate the forest

[tall lantern]

sounds like you need more chainsaw

[thin pilot]

Do radio towers show the location of things like mercer spheres hard drives and slooms

[tall lantern]

no, just how many are nearby

[thin pilot]

Oh ok

Do they show resources?

[tall lantern]

believe so, been a while so not 100% on that. could check the wiki (or just build one)

[warm finch]

yes radar towers show all the resource nodes and wells. They do not tell you where HDDs, sloops, or spheres are, but will tell you how many are dected within it's range

[past dune]

Google: In satisfactory how to get rid of the excess of trees in the way?

A1. I love trees
A2. I use a chainsaw
A3. I use multiple nuke obelisk

I'm #3

[warm finch]

or use cluster nobelisks. Works great

[past dune]

I like my nukes 🙂

[spare prism]

no its not that my FPS is tanking to the 15

[cunning glade]

Nukes are cool just late game so

[past dune]

your lucky, with my crappy pc and my 40 meg save file size, with trees, I'd be lucky at 15...

[cunning glade]

Not very practical till then

In at p4 still no nukes so

Wait shit

I just realized if I make nukes I need too make less than 112 ficsonium rods I think

[past dune]

I might have a full Vanilla build, but I do cheat 1 way, I Play creative mode, no cost.. I just build and build..

[spare prism]

Well that happened #screenshots message

[cunning glade]

See if u play right vanilla doesn't have a build cost that u notice

[woeful sinew]

just entered tier 5 and 6 what the hell do i do

[cunning glade]

Cuz dd

[cunning glade]

Make things

Phase 3 I just setup some assemblers and hand feed them but have them slooped for parts

[warm finch]

yes

[cunning glade]

Cuz phase 3 just feels like a time killer

Like u don't have blenders so if u wanna do plastic u need stupid package loop

And that's the main thing it introduces is rubber and plastic

[past dune]

i did the hole multi phaze game at my first weeks of gameplay. then I started on and off this save, the goal I gave myself, is to create the most amount of Watts as possible but full Vanilla in every other sence, I just got no cost..

[cunning glade]

Fair that doesn't appeal too me tho I'm still on my first run

Or playthrough technically

Idk

[tall lantern]

blueprint it, just need 2 packagers, a refinery, and like half a stack of canisters for a simple module IIRC

[cunning glade]

This is my only p4 save

[past dune]

i finished the game in less than 2 weeks maybe 3.. but i didn't clean build like i do now.. i went, how fast and how messy can i get access to everything quick

[cunning glade]

Nah package loops are just aids

[past dune]

oh the spaghetti..

[tall lantern]

package loops are easy if you keep them simple

[cunning glade]

I dislike them cuz I made one that makes 3600 plastic

[tall lantern]

and self-contained modules are as easy as it gets

[cunning glade]

And the unpackagers back up with empty ones and then some are fully empty

It's just hell

I'm redoing it with blenders

Cuz I want the full 3600 a min

[cunning glade]

Well I just did a manifold

Whatever gave me 480 a min

[past dune]

yeah i make small towers, each with it's own purpose, and try to spread as much troughout the map... then I hide all my wires and belts, 100+ meters underground... where i dont care about looks.. so above ground, it's all clean. seemless.

[cunning glade]

That's how many were in a row

I've gone back and filled it with more canisters so many times and it always happens

Could prolly make some big load balancer or some shit with smart splitters but I don't have the space for that

[thin pilot]

So you just skipped phase 3 basically

[cunning glade]

Yeah

Phase 3 just sucks

[thin pilot]

Tbf sounds like a good idea so you have mk3 miners n stuff

[past dune]

build it underground?

[cunning glade]

Yes 780 belts mk3 miners and blenders were the first things I went for

[past dune]

thats what i do a lot, for loadbalancing things.

[cunning glade]

Idk how too load balance really and too much work

When manifolds work for everything except train loading really

[thin pilot]

Ye good idea tbf

[past dune]

i can show you if you want

[jagged nymph]

The time when I use load balancing is if its a super low throughout so it doesnt take forever to fill the manifolds (like if i have 10 items per minute split between 10 machines)

[thin pilot]

Was you not lacking a power grid or anything tho?

[cunning glade]

I did a 60gw oil plant once I had oil

That lasted me till my 800gw rocket fuel plant

[thin pilot]

Then rocket?

Ye might do that then

[cunning glade]

Which that should last me till my 1.4 tw nuclear setup

[thin pilot]

Jesus

[thin pilot]

How much crude is that

[cunning glade]

3900

[jagged nymph]

"And that will last me will my 4pw dyson sphere"

[cunning glade]

I wanna play Dyson sphere

[thin pilot]

That’s not that bad actually

[cunning glade]

Tbh

[cunning glade]

Only like 2-3k sulfur and like 4k nitro gas

[thin pilot]

Was aluminium a pain or do you not need it for blenders and the miners

[cunning glade]

I did a small setup of ingots

[past dune]

This is my current project.

909 fuel gens will be in this thing.

#screenshots message

[jagged nymph]

Aluminum is easy

[cunning glade]

Tho I make 1.2m points a min so I also spent coupons on mk3 miner parts

Hand craft super computers

[warm finch]

that's why you add in a smart splitter that puts overflow into a sink until it balances itself.

[cunning glade]

No space

Don't worry it's being deleted and replaced with blenders

[past dune]

if your aiming for sink points, is it always worth it to bring items to the highest level? or is there a treshold that becomes less worth to do so?

[cunning glade]

I also prolly won't do a loop again in the future for plastic

[thin pilot]

How does one get so many points?

[cunning glade]

Well I'm making about 6450 rubber and 6600 plastic a min

[warm finch]

google point values for each item made in the game. You'll see a threshold of diminishing returns.

[cunning glade]

Plus 50 technically 100 hmf a min

[thin pilot]

Is that from rocket?

[cunning glade]

No separate factorys

[thin pilot]

Ah because I’m wondering now if I do try get to phase 4

Unlock rocket fuel and go for that alt at the same time as heavy oil

[warm finch]

phase 4 is a good goal if you're looking to go large scale factories/rebuilds. You unlock mk5 belts and mk3 miners

[past dune]

the value from regular fuel to rocket fuel is highly worth it, it's always a win.

[warm finch]

imo mk6 belts are too late in the game

[cunning glade]

I have my 3600 plastic factory which was the stupid homophobic packager loop and my awesome sexy blender setup 6450 rubber with 3000 plastic factorys

[cunning glade]

I may build slightly big

I need 1200 belts

[warm finch]

really hard to plan things at scale with 480/min (mk4) belts

[cunning glade]

So bad so bad so so so bad

I hate they're in phase 9

My aluminum plant won't fully work cuz of it

[warm finch]

you mean tier 9/phase 5

[cunning glade]

My pasta factory is gonna suck too setup tho maybe I assume I have 1200

Time crystals are gonna suck

[warm finch]

that's why I do modular set ups of 600/min each so it's much easier to scale up to 1200/min

[past dune]

do u use ingame blueprints or scim blueprints?

[warm finch]

in game. I'm very much a vanilla player. I'm not a fan of scim other than for the map (when needed in some incidences).

[thin pilot]

Ye bc I wanna build big fuck off factories and just having mk3 miners and mk5 belts will help logistics wise and let me build more

And at the same time lets me get rocket fuel and make a big factory

[cunning glade]

If u do this u need too go get most of the hard drives

[thin pilot]

And let’s me go big with aluminium which may end up being my first train network

[thin pilot]

I’ve already been getting them

[cunning glade]

Because they give u some of the stuff too unlock the milestones

[cunning glade]

No like u need too hunt down for the stuff

Iirc it turbo motors and fused modular frames

[thin pilot]

Should I have held onto them?

[cunning glade]

There's about 50 of each and u need them for the milestones and too build the mk3 miners

Also alot of aluminum

[cunning glade]

If u wanna do what I do the easy way yes

If u didn't it should still be possible I don't remember the order in which stuff goes at this point and what needs what

But just more of a pain in the ass

[thin pilot]

I think I’ve used about 30

[cunning glade]

Of which ones

[thin pilot]

Hard drives

[cunning glade]

No no no

The parts u find on the ground

[thin pilot]

Oh I get what you mean

[cunning glade]

Specifically turbo motors and fmf

Plus the aluminum u find all help u skip the milestones basically

[thin pilot]

I know I’ve got fused frames

[thin pilot]

I’ve got over 200 of each aluminium part

[cunning glade]

Yeah keep cuz there's only a little over 50 and u need them for one of the important milestones

[cunning glade]

Hoverpack which is the first rec uses 200 of one of them the mk5 or 780 belts use aluminum sheeting so

[thin pilot]

Is a big aliminium factory needed

Like what else is it used for?

[cunning glade]

It's 100 sheets

[cunning glade]

Depends

I'm making all of the aluminum on the map

Cuz I'm doing a nuclear thing

[cunning glade]

Quite a few things plus p4 parts so

Uhhh like mk3 miners as well blenders iirc

Id say prolly 2-3k u could get away with tho

Prolly more than enough tbh

Idk haven't beaten the game so

Also I'm doing ficsonium

[thin pilot]

Just had a look through the recipes

I’m making it all

[cunning glade]

Yeah I rec that

Idk about the last part but looking at recipes is good

[thin pilot]

Pasta needs it

And o can do fun copper things

I want all the aluminum

There’s so much stuff you can do with it

You get pasta and it’s in way to many late game recipes

[elder oracle]

yaey we love our pasta

[cunning glade]

Well good luck I'm gonna get on and hook up the last train station of limestone I need for the factory

[thin pilot]

Did you do aluminum before rocket

[cunning glade]

Also ugh now I'm torn on putting the aluminum plant in red forest or grassy fields cuz center vs corner and better train paths I feel

[cunning glade]

A small setup ye

[thin pilot]

For like mk3 miners I’m guessing

[cunning glade]

No I just bought the turbo and fmf and hand crafted super

[thin pilot]

Is mk3 miners even worth with t5 belts?

[cunning glade]

780 belts mostly

Made 1k sheets a min

[thin pilot]

Ohh when can you buy them?

[cunning glade]

After u unlock them

[thin pilot]

Oh ok

Forgot about the shop entirely tbh

[cunning glade]

It's great when u have 500 coupons too spend

[thin pilot]

Ye think I have about 30

😂😂 might set up an oil plant but is it more worth to sink the resin of make plastic/rubber and sink that

Think I’ll make it all into plastic and sink it

As I’m gonna make a 40gw oil factory

[odd vessel]

Embrace the power

[woeful sinew]

do i get jetpack or oil processing first

[warm finch]

yes

[mortal ginkgo]

no

[loud surge]

do blue prints stay on multiple saves? like if i made a new save would i have my blueprints?

hey guys both the programmable splitter and priority merger have different costs when placed on a lift vs on the ground, is this intended?

[jagged nymph]

why, cause he told you where to find the information you asked for?

[warm finch]

they mad they have to learn how to fish rather than just take someone's fish

[jagged nymph]

makes sense

[mortal ginkgo]

ask grok

[loud surge]

i did, he gave me some sass and told me to go read a book

[jagged nymph]

teach a man to eat he'll fish for a day, give a fish a man and he'll eat forever

[mortal ginkgo]

he says he is not modded but priority mergers can not be put on lifts, it stays a different error saying "outputs dont match"

[mortal ginkgo]

damnit, try chatgpt

[jagged nymph]

really?

[warm finch]

I'm all for helping people, but they gotta be open to learning.

[jagged nymph]

i tested it though

[void cliff]

Priority mergers can be put on the input/output of lifts

[thin pilot]

I just had a look at the prices for the stuff for mk3 miners they are really cheap like 23 tickets for all the recourses for 5 of them

[mortal ginkgo]

let me clarify, that works but not on the lift as literal

[warm finch]

I can put priority mergers anywhere within a lift

[sudden flint]

Ayyyy! It's my favorite dude to trash on! /aff

[mortal ginkgo]

I just tried again and hold the doggo up, it works?

[jagged nymph]

yeah

im not sure if thats a bug or not

its not mentioned on the wiki

[mortal ginkgo]

Did the game update today? I clearly remember "output count do not much" error yesterday or this is a leftover code that decided to suddenly work

[jagged nymph]

that the cost is different when vertical

[mortal ginkgo]

also the output of middle doesn't matter in its menu because its not an output at all so menu is also confusing

[feral jay]

Dammit, gotta kill another bean

[mortal ginkgo]

this is surprising, I think it is leftover code where they simplified the cost of priority merger aswell:

[sudden flint]

😔

[mortal ginkgo]

this is mostly to make it so circuits dont need to be automated

[feral jay]

It's the only thing I use turbo ammo for lol

[jagged nymph]

hm on the wiki it says the programmable splitter cost was changed, the vertical price is what the old recipe was

so i guess the price didnt get update

[abstract flint]

why is my flow rate different

in some pipe

[jagged nymph]

wdym

[jagged nymph]

cause theyre different pipes

[abstract flint]

no

[jagged nymph]

not all pipes share a flowrate

[abstract flint]

theyre all mk1

[jagged nymph]

i know

[abstract flint]

how do i make the flow rate faster

[jagged nymph]

add more machines

make fore fluid

[abstract flint]

all my pipes are full

[jagged nymph]

yeah theyre suposed to be

otherwise you get bad flowrate

to build this will this fit in small blue print?

[jagged nymph]

no

[spare prism]

🙁

[jagged nymph]

you arent supposed to just copy down factories you got from the interent anyway

that defeats... the entire purpose of the game

[spare prism]

stop bullying me

[jagged nymph]

im not

[spare prism]

🤣

[jagged nymph]

if you dont wnat to build a factory, you dont want to play this game 🤷‍♂️

[spare prism]

um no

[jagged nymph]

um yes

[spare prism]

um no

[jagged nymph]

thats like playing minecraft and just popping in someone elses house they built and spawning in netherite gear

youre just removing the gameplay from the game

[spare prism]

I think the whole point in the game is to let people play how they want. So if they wanna bring in other builds someone else built then go ahead

[jagged nymph]

i mean im not stopping you from doing that, it just doesnt make sense to me to have someone else play the game for you

[spare prism]

They built it for a reason

[native stream]

can someone provide me a screenshot of a viable beginner build who has done phase 2 and is currently trying to get coal unlocked?

[jagged nymph]

wdym

whats a beginner build

[native stream]

like

for someone who has unlocked coal and trying to unspaghettify their build

it’s a mess right now

[jagged nymph]

what about it

[twin parcel]

U mean ass factory that produces some parts

[native stream]

just need help on how and where i can (or should) reorganise

[jagged nymph]

where the materials are for the factory

[spare prism]

Idk how to make factory pretty all I can make is box house so ofc I’m gunna add someone into my game who can build stuff

[jagged nymph]

so if youre making steel make it near coal and iron

[native stream]

the biggest issue currently is getting a setup for screws and stuff used for motors. mine is getting a bit much and too much spaghetti

[jagged nymph]

well yeah you cant know something without starting it, and youre not gonna learn by placing that down.If you want to be good at building, you have to actually build stuff. Thats how you learn. Where do you think they started?

[jagged nymph]

iron->smelter->constructor(iron rods)->constructor(screws)

[spare prism]

Some are born into creativity. I was not

[native stream]

how much constructors do i need for the assemblers?

[twin parcel]

Take note of conveyor capacity and build a manifold

[spare prism]

I don’t have 1 ounce of creativity in me

[native stream]

thank you, will bear this in mind

[spare prism]

I can make box

But I don’t like box

[jagged nymph]

see how many you need, see how many the machine makes. Divide how many you need by how many it makes. Theres your answer

[native stream]

yes but that also depends on whether i use splitters/mergers from the mines to the refineries, to the constructors

[jagged nymph]

no it doesnt

if you need say 400 screws, thats 10 machines, cause each one makes 40

[native stream]

and my problem is the spaghetti. should i just use one miner and then splitter into X machine?

[jagged nymph]

split the miner into as macny machines as you can yes

like if its producing 120/m you can feed 4 smelters at 30/m

[native stream]

because currently i have got 3 refineries, maybe 4 and they’re splitting into like 6 - 8 constructors. and it’s a mess

edit: since i have 3 or 4 separate refineries

[jagged nymph]

refineries? you said youre just getting coal power

you dont have refineries yet

[native stream]

furnaces

[jagged nymph]

oh

[native stream]

sorry, im tired

and i keep thinking of RC2

that’s what drew me to this game tbh lol

[jagged nymph]

i should hop on

[feral jay]

Putting down another 80 generators tonight

Or at least getting started on it

[jagged nymph]

i need to expand my caol gens

[native stream]

so TLDR: reorganise it into one miner, splitter that line of ores into X furnaces, split them again into constructors etc etc

do you suggest a linear build?

[cunning glade]

They're so annoying

[native stream]

because i was wanting to go on a vertical, to minimise floor space

[bleak valley]

Exactly what I’m doing tonight too lol

[feral jay]

wYeah but at least you can just kill them

automating the steel and concrete that i should hopefully need for the entire megafactory

[bleak valley]

Just gotta make a GW of power with only MK 2 belts and mk1 pipes

[jagged nymph]

Pain

Unlocking mk3/4 belts is such a freeing moment

[proven snow]

mk3 is pretty huge

cheaper than mk2 as well

[real shale]

Aaaaaa

[ornate saffron]

Bbbbbb

[real shale]

B for beefalo

[ornate saffron]

Thats some dank looking factory floors

[bleak valley]

I have mk3 belts but not steel production so they can’t help me

[ornate frost]

how do you guys go about starting to make train lines around the world? it feels quite daunting

[bleak valley]

I made a few small ones between factories

Just one circle with one train each

[ornate saffron]

One station at a time as needed

A world train line doesnt happen all at once. It is done as needed

[real shale]

Just gotta do it

You will probably make mistakes along the way but that's how we learn

[ornate frost]

good point

[cunning glade]

chat 2 more miners down and thats all the resource for my 16400 aluminum

felt like it took forever

but so hyped

[ornate saffron]

Seriously though take it slow building on thing for hours leads to burnout.

On scim ther is a toggle for roads. It'll highlight all rhe dirt paths. Its a nice way to deal with elevations as the roads have nice sloops to gain or lower elevation

[cunning glade]

how do yall make yall belts too factory's look good

[ornate saffron]

Depends on the situation. On dirt I like the curve build mode so I can curve them with the landscape.

On foundations the straight mode is nice for them hard lines.

Stacking vertical is nice when you plan on snapping mergers or splitters at points.

[real shale]

I have a blueprint for transporting belts and pipes between factories neatly

[ornate saffron]

Biggest thing though is planning before hand. Knowing where the machines will be and alloting space for belts means you are not trying to crunch things together

[real shale]

I call it my "InterFactory Logistics" blueprints which essentially connects stuff from either far away or between factories whilst also transporting power and hypertubes

[ornate saffron]

I do something similar but have not yet this save.

This was my belt tower from last save

#design-and-architecture message

[cunning glade]

mind sharing a photo?

Uh sure lemme dig something up

I think I should have something here somewhere

#screenshots message

[ornate saffron]

I did get 3 hours of work in on the barg tonight which was nice

[cunning glade]

nice i def like

[real shale]

I either do it this way where I connect them with frame foundations or free place them and connect them using curve build mode depending on terrain

Or do both even

[proven snow]

It’s been quite daunting for me in the beginning.

Now that blueprints exist I feel like it won’t be too bad

[ornate frost]

currently trying to make some pieces for the blueprint designer

I feel like the mk1 is too small though

Another example of me using it (in the background)

[cunning glade]

#screenshots message how get too?

the limestone in rocky

it seems too be underground

[ornate saffron]

No harm in keeping it simple.

I didn't even make a BP for curve. I'm just going to use autoconnect letting it make the curve then add some quick details like shown here

#design-and-architecture message

[cunning glade]

but where

[ornate saffron]

Did you toggle caves in scim?

[cunning glade]

not in scim

im in the game

[ornate saffron]

If you not against using scim toggle caves there is the easiest way to find

[cunning glade]

uhhh what #screenshots message

the limestone of schizophrenia

i think its just not there

[ornate saffron]

Hmmm

[cunning glade]

oh neat

[cunning glade]

no it snaps there

[keen flame]

guys uhh… i googled this but im still not sure, can i play satisfactory in my singleplayer world without an internet connection WITHOUT issues? ppl say when you leave you basically "die“ and have to get your stuff back from where you left, but will using keep inventory fix that? is there a limit to local file saves without internet connection?? does anyone know D:

[cunning glade]

u dont need wifi for a singleplayer game

[real shale]

Well you SHOULDN'T, but certain studios have a way of doing otherwise

[keen flame]

i know that but apparently you have to walk to the place u were when you left every time to get your stuff back

cuz it thinks you died

[ornate saffron]

I have no issues playing with no internet on my laptop through steam

[keen flame]

i havent tried it yet though

hell yeah

nvm no results lol

Full blown electricity infrastructure should be a thing in base game (I am completely and utterly biased here)

[cunning glade]

wym?

[keen flame]

well thanks everyone i‘ll lyk if i have any issues

i‘d hate to lose my data

[cunning glade]

u wont

[real shale]

like transformers, proper circuit breakers, current flow, etc etc, make it as painfully realistic as possible (again, I am completely biased)

[keen flame]

that‘s a good question

sorry i had to before i go

[unborn berry]

hello

[real shale]

I am joking, I know that would be very painful

[cunning glade]

was gonna say u want people too play ur game

[keen flame]

oh boy i’m all up for that ngl

[feral jay]

I just want some kind of grand overview of power circuitry

[jagged nymph]

Seems you found the ghost node lol

[real shale]

Hey they'd at least have me still, it's the reason I'll probably get power mods when im done with base game

[feral jay]

Amd production

[jagged nymph]

I hope they dont remove it my factory relies on it

[cunning glade]

and now its workng #screenshots message

[real shale]

I can at least emulate it through architectural design

[feral jay]

I'm secretly hoping everyone's VIP junctions break when and if the fix fluids

[keen flame]

i love electrical engineering

[jagged nymph]

Yeah, it just doesnt have a physical node

[cunning glade]

i do love it

[real shale]

Albeit I don't know how I am designing voltage transformers and current transformers

[cunning glade]

was annoying at first when i couldnt find it

i thought cave but that didnt make sense

[jagged nymph]

I thought it was in a cave lol until I saw the ping come off of it

[ornate saffron]

There is a modding discord to if you are interested. I can't get the bot command to work.

But the link is also in #welcome

[jagged nymph]

Cause like when you search the nodes they release a little ping thing when the thong hits them

[real shale]

!modded

[jagged nymph]

A more realistic power grid system would be pretty cool

[cunning glade]

true i didnt think too scan cuz radar tower

[zenith bear]

That would be hell

[jagged nymph]

And like you had to have higher duty wires to carry more current

[real shale]

That would be a Nightmare

[zenith bear]

The game’s complicated enough

[cunning glade]

i think would make a great mod

not base

[zenith bear]

Mod yes

[jagged nymph]

Among other things

[ornate saffron]

There is some mods for that.

[real shale]

Put it this way, my final year project in uni involves modelling a full scale grid and god its.... VOLATILE

[zenith bear]

Agreed

[jagged nymph]

Yeah thats what I mean

[keen flame]

oh ok tyvm

[cunning glade]

well i have the mats now

[real shale]

I love it when I change one variable in my model and suddenly all of my generators pole slip

And the grid collapses

[cunning glade]

but now i dont wanna start building the train output stations

[jagged nymph]

Lol

[real shale]

You know what would be the painful part of realistic grids in the game? The control systems

There is a absurd amounts of things to consider in those

[warm finch]

mine already broke recently 😭

First time they ever became unreliable for me

[feral jay]

yeah they operate on unintended behaviour

[warm finch]

skill issue confirmed

[feral jay]

They're basically a bug or an exploit

[ornate saffron]

I dont use them thankfully

[real shale]

Huh? Unintended how?

[unborn nova]

what are they doing to fluids?

[ornate saffron]

Although I am worried that fluid changes will force me to start a new save

[feral jay]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1mwji7e/beware_of_the_vertical_junctions/

[jagged nymph]

Pipe junctions arent supposed to have priority inputs

[real shale]

The physics behind the VIP junction make sense, I don't see why they would operate on unintended behaviour

[jagged nymph]

Luckily my aave hasn't gotten to fluids yet other than water for coal

And I wont get there soon

[feral jay]

The intended behaviour AFAIK is for all inputs to have equal priority regardless of orientation

[jagged nymph]

Maybe if it was flipped, the top should get priority not bottom

[ornate saffron]

The first teaser for 1.2 said "we fixed fluids"

"Kinda"

We got the teaser for the fluid truck. But many think this means 1.2 will have a fluids rework

[real shale]

The priority comes from the fluid flow though no?

[jagged nymph]

?

[feral jay]

THey mentioned they found a few inconsistencies when making the fluid trucks that needed to be fixed

So... I'm hoping...

[real shale]

Like for example on a VOP you are dropping the fluid to the bottom first and filling that pipeline before going on to the next

[unborn nova]

interesting

[feral jay]

A VOP is intended behaviour, a VIP is not

[jagged nymph]

What's a vop

[upbeat stone]

how do the hell do i move a blueprint out of the undefined category and into a named category

[real shale]

Same thing but for outputs

[feral jay]

Variable Output Priority junction

[upbeat stone]

it just goes back

[jagged nymph]

O

[ornate saffron]

We will no Tuesday. 4 plus hours stream and 1.2 video and patch notes.

[real shale]

wait so what's different about VIPs, give me the short of it

[jagged nymph]

You have to click apply

[upbeat stone]

it wont even go into the new one in the first place

[feral jay]

heh there's really no "short" of it https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1mwji7e/beware_of_the_vertical_junctions/

[warm finch]

read the reddit ca posted, pretty good explanation

[jagged nymph]

Then you have to click edit mode

[feral jay]

That thread explains it far better than I can

[real shale]

Yeah that's why I asked for the short of it because it's a long post

[feral jay]

There is no short of it

It's a complicated bug

[languid bison]

Hi yall

[ornate saffron]

You have to make a new category and a sub. Category.

The sub category will ne a thin line at the top when there is no BP in it

[upbeat stone]

ohhh im missing the subcategory

thats stupid

[ornate saffron]

Took me forever

[feral jay]

yeah that's not explained at all in the interface

[real shale]

I'm sure if the original VIP breaks we will always find a way to make a new one

[ornate saffron]

[jagged nymph]

No its not, you can't put something in a subcategory if you havnt made the subcategory yet, pretty easy concept

[upbeat stone]

i dont need a damn subcategory

[feral jay]

I'm hoping they just actually give us proper priority fluid junctions

[upbeat stone]

im just putting it in the main category

[feral jay]

Or at least wye junctions instead of just tee junctions

[jagged nymph]

Smart junction perhaps???

[ornate saffron]

Thiccccccccccccc junctions

[real shale]

That's what valves do to an extent already though no? Albeit valves are....valves

[ornate saffron]

Thick like heavy crude

[feral jay]

A smart junction would be pointless since a pipe can only carry one fluid, I just want a way to prioritize gas and liquid flow that doesn't rely on hacks

[jagged nymph]

🥐

[jagged nymph]

Yeah a smart junction

[languid bison]

Does anyone play Satisfactory on console quite yet?

[feral jay]

Lots of folks do

[jagged nymph]

Or if they could call it priority junction if it were added

[novel robin]

Hey guy I’m new looking to see if someone would wanta join me?

[languid bison]

Nice, I haven’t met a single person that does yet lol

[jagged nymph]

!lfg

[raven axle]

Hello there totally awesome user! You can checkout https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/1201555265942724758 and check the pins on how to find folks to play with. <3

[languid bison]

Though most of my friends including myself are PC supremacists

[ornate saffron]

#satisfactory-consoles even have there own channel

[languid bison]

Oh wow it is that popular then
Impressive

[ornate saffron]

Im more of a pc communist

[languid bison]

So your RAM is OUR RAM, yes?
An offer I cannot refuse

[ornate saffron]

My gpu is held up but a hammer.

[languid bison]

And CPU cooled by a sickle

[ornate saffron]

Oddly I just sold half my ram for $200

[real shale]

Sickle fans

[languid bison]

16GB?

[ornate saffron]

64

[real shale]

What

[languid bison]

64 for $200??
DDR3 or 4?

[ornate saffron]

Ddr4

[jagged nymph]

Was it ddr5 or ddr4 tho

[languid bison]

Ah ok

[jagged nymph]

Ah thats why

[real shale]

Ddr3? Damn we going back back

[jagged nymph]

I need to upgrade my ram but it is NOT a good time rn

[ornate saffron]

More then the 128 cost me lol

[languid bison]

I’m running 32 DDR5 and I am never giving it up 🥲

[real shale]

Don't worry it won't let you down either

[languid bison]

Yeah for sure lol
Not anymore though

[real shale]

And thankfully ram isn't capable of turning around and hurting you

[languid bison]

I hope it doesn’t run around and desert me

[ornate saffron]

Thats what the sickle is for

[jagged nymph]

I got my current 32gb for 90 bucks back a few years ago at micro center

[real shale]

I love how somehow that turned into a rick roll joke

[languid bison]

Yo same

9600X bundle with the B650-E max gaming WiFi mobo

[ornate saffron]

Ruck rolls cover of foo fighters best of you is really good

[languid bison]

Last year though I got lucky

[languid bison]

Personally the sky is a neighborhood is my fave

My hero is close though

[jagged nymph]

Whenever I go on vacation somewhere I always go to microcenter if theres one nearby cause the closest one is 4 hours away

[real shale]

I don't trust microcenter

[languid bison]

I live under an hour from one

[jagged nymph]

Lucky

[jagged nymph]

Why? What happened?

[languid bison]

Yet my RTX 5060 is from Walmart 💀

[real shale]

Because I don't have any where I am

[ornate saffron]

There is none in my country

[languid bison]

Ggs
Game over

[jagged nymph]

? So how can you say you dont trust it

[real shale]

Easy, that's why I don't trust them
