satisfactory

[cunning glade]

All alts are good except for maybe like 2 tho can still be used nicely

[unkempt blade]

yeah it's clearly a sweatier than average save

[cunning glade]

Nuh uh

[ornate saffron]

I personally plan one node at a time. As mk2 pipes and max oc is available when you get to oil.

I dont like going back and rebuilding or expanding. I want to build and leave it to function for its purpose. If I need more oil for another project ill tap another node and repeat

[cunning glade]

It's my first playthrough still

[cunning glade]

See same in the going back too rebuild

So I just overproduce but also math out roughly how much I need

And in the end it's just more coupons and points so I'm happy

Plus also like a lot of machines all working looks cool so building big is fun

[fossil oyster]

RIP your FPS when you finish your 112/min ficsonium build

[ornate saffron]

I do " overproduce" if I need plubber ill max out the oil node and sink what I do not need. Leave a sign (and a spreadhseet) saying how much of what is being sinked. If I ever run out ill tap another node and build a new facility.

[cunning glade]

I mean still rocking what like 200-230 fps I'm happy

[fossil oyster]

Yeah, you're in phase 4

[cunning glade]

Doesn't go below 165 all that matters too me

[fossil oyster]

It will.

[cunning glade]

I doubt tho I wonder if fsr4.1 is better or worse preformace wise

Do need too see if I can even use it

[ornate saffron]

I play locked 60 on my desktop and locked 30 on my laptop. FPS doesn't matter to me as long as it is stable and at least 30. The dips are what makes it unplayable

[fossil oyster]

Are you playing 720p? 112/min ficsonium requires a full scale uranium setup. That will absolutely tank your FPS :D

[cunning glade]

4k

[ornate saffron]

You can use it.

[cunning glade]

I'm aware

[cunning glade]

Do I just replace . Dll I assume with optiscaler

With the new 4.1

[fossil oyster]

Hm what?

[urban crown]

How do you lay down rails without going crazy?
I can't fit junctions into blueprints, and even if I did they won't connect properly without redoing the rails. I also constantly get "loops into itself" signal errors, and from what I've googled it seems to be because they bug out if you place them where the game snaps them to at junctions.

[ornate saffron]

Yes, its a either or situation.

Im not up to speed on all the details mind you.

I generally dont use upscalers

[cunning glade]

Fsr4.1 got leaked and its looking solid

So me wants too use it but I'm on 7900xtx so

Optiscaler

[fossil oyster]

Ah, 4090 here. And struggling with FPS on a 70/min ficsonium build :p

[cunning glade]

Ight ty tho

[cunning glade]

I mean worst case I have too give the card more power

Normally helps a good bit so

[fossil oyster]

Nah you need to use less machines. Overclock to the max

[ornate saffron]

As previously stated in dont care about large fps numbers. They dont matter in a casual game like satisfactory. Im also trash at competitive games so it doesnt matter

[cunning glade]

I mean I could I think I'll be fine tho

[ornate saffron]

I don't need 260fps for chess

[cunning glade]

Id argue it matters a lot in this game

[fossil oyster]

Yeah but you won't stay above 165 FPS I can promise you that

[cunning glade]

Playing at 165 vs 60 or 30 is instantly noticable

[cunning glade]

Like I said I just oc card more I'm not super worried I'm still playing on high/ultra and quality mode

Plus also depends on fsr 4.1

Cuz fsr4 takes a preformace hit too the GPU

But looks much better

It's a small like 10-15 fps maybe

And that's made up for by using the upscaler but still a loss of fps

[ornate saffron]

I have 20/15 vision. I admit that it sometimes feels a bit smoother but thats it.
Im not seeing jerking frames or anything like that. I play at 60fps locked with no variation on a monitor set to 120hz. No issues smooth gameplay at 1440p

[cunning glade]

Hold on I'll be back I was gonna order weed for delivery got distracted

[ornate saffron]

Thats good enough for me. If you need or want more cool. But this works for me

[autumn wing]

Anyone has the game on steam deck? I got it yesterday on the deck but im not able to play. Once i start the game i get a black screen just with the satisfactory logo.

I can get in when using desktop mode but the keyboard doesnt work.

Reinstalling didnt help

Deck is new. 1TB oled and game is installed on internal storage

[ornate saffron]

Someone within the last 3 hours was talking about there steam deck we experience. Maybe use the search bar to see who it was

[cunning glade]

That's fair id recommend trying 120 I think it's alot better and u could lock it too that and be fine but aslong as u enjoy it that's what matters

This guy did

[wintry needle]

What are the most used/ normaly used alt Recipes all the way to Ficsonium Fuel Rods and Rocket Fuel?

[cunning glade]

Depends entirely on what resources u care more about and where you wanna build

[inner ruin]

i have 2 death crates in the void what am i supposed to do

[cunning glade]

Cuz for rocket fuel some use the standard and some use nitro

[feral jay]

There we go, fixed my munitions plant production plan https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=hnidxiq8i06T6vrW80hp

I got reminded here because I wanted to brag about it lol

[ornate saffron]

Have you checked #1038092680493801533 for steam deck issues?

[cunning glade]

Ig I could sloop some cells and fly it over for a bomb factory

[feral jay]

I just edit them back into my inventory with SCIM

[inner ruin]

i loaded a save from 5 minutes before i went over there

99999999iq

[cunning glade]

Cuz that's all it really needs that's annoying and would eat into my spicy rock supply

Wrong one

Why don't my gifs load

Fuck ass wifi

[vale quarry]

yo is there anyone here that can help me with the design of the megafactory im trying to build?, ive done most of the building but it just looks like a brick.....

[feral jay]

Not allowed here, I assume because the channel would get flooded with gifs and images and the conversation would be difficult to follow, if they allowed them

[cunning glade]

That reminds me time too call my wifi and threaten too switch for a discount cuz this preformace has been fuckig. Horrendous

[cunning glade]

No I don't mean why doesn't the link work the icons too show which one I want take forever too load

[feral jay]

ohhh

That's slow interwebz

[cunning glade]

Along with the past 5 days I've been dropping wifi for like a min or 2 well I'm connected thru Ethernet

It's more like 15-30 seconds

But it kicks my friend from the world and it's super annoying

Been meaning too call them

[ornate saffron]

I suggest not doing the mega factory idea. But if you insist I suggest a mega facility. A complex of building not one large box.

Like a car plant isn't one building, It is several with interconnected logistics

[feral jay]

We have it bad here too, we have a copper landline that comes to us on overhead wires. Every spring when the melt comes, we get static in the lines, Internet gets a bit wonky, phone conversations get difficult to hear, and caller ID stops working

Worst part is, it's intermittent, so every time I get them to roll a truck, when the technician comes, the problem disappears

[autumn wing]

Got it to work now. Dunno why but seems when you start the game in the default controller settings it doesnt work at all. I had to download a community controller setting layout and once game run i could switch back

[ornate saffron]

Glad you found a solution

[feral jay]

borked/nonstandard controller maybe?

[autumn wing]

I just installed the game new like 3 times and it just doesnt run with the default setting

[feral jay]

No I mean maybe it's the controller, specifically, that it's having trouble with somehow

[autumn wing]

Well its steamdeck i dont have an additional controller on it

[feral jay]

ok that's weird then

[vernal walrus]

Why do MK4 belts feel so weird to aim at when cloning/deconstructing...

[autumn wing]

Seems like the game just has problems with the defaul controller layout on steam deck

[feral jay]

seems worthy of filing a bug report to me

[vernal walrus]

Half the time I go to middle click a MK4 belt it picks the foundation near it instead

[ornate saffron]

Pc in general. I hear other complain about controller issues on pc

[feral jay]

Which is weird because controller support was added to the PC build as a beta test before console support came out

[subtle grove]

WOOT, I return.

[autumn wing]

Funny enough, i closed the game and now it starts up without problem

Sus as hell

[teal dove]

Where is the best place to make my factory i am currently at 3828, -2608 and i wanted to go somewhere that i can still get my coal power but there is enough good resources for a massive factory

[thin pilot]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HEAVY OIL RESIDUE

[ornate saffron]

Its good

[keen vault]

phase 3 is making me want to stop playing but i want to keep playing so how do i escape this manufacturing hell?

[unreal sand]

I just make fuel outta it

I think that’s its main use

[feral jay]

Break things down into small jobs

[thin pilot]

manufacturer slooms

and skip it is what im doing

[keen vault]

i need to unlock phase 4 for nuclear

[teal dove]

.

[vital quest]

Uhhh is it normal grasslands that my closest coal node is always 900-1500nm away?

Away from my base

[thin pilot]

ye so im saying make the stuff to complete phase 3 by hand feeding it basically

the manufacturing should be easier with mk3 miners and 780 belts

thats what im doing

[vital quest]

Ima restart the area I’m in is so bad

[ornate saffron]

Yup, 4 to the north which are ideal for coal power

And two pure one the the southeast and one to the southeast. Idle for steel and, statorsz rotors and motors

[proven snow]

yea

[ornate saffron]

Its like that for coal in all areas

[vital quest]

Yea but how can i get coal when the water i have is so far away it’s genuinely impossible to power my stuff

[ornate saffron]

@vital quest its a hand crafted map. The placement of resources are on purpose to teach you lessons while you play

[proven snow]

Keep in mind the map is static so it'll be the same every time. But you could pick a different starting location.

Grasslands does have things kinda spread out I believe (honestly I've never started there), but it makes things a lot easier in terms of terrain being flat, less enemies, etc. which makes it better for a new player potentially

[thin pilot]

ill send a screen shot of where mine is

[ornate saffron]

The four coal nodes to the north are next to a lake. It is there for you to build power generation

[vital quest]

I started at the closest iron node when i started

[native tapir]

Bring the coal to the water or the water to the coal

[vital quest]

What factories or farms should I build first

[vital quest]

Currently trying to do that

[ornate saffron]

Most ppl rush coal generators so they can get off biofuel

[inner ruin]

yes

[tall lantern]

farms aren't a thing in this game, they're called factories

[vital quest]

Not me rlly I’m to noob

[proven snow]

Also transmitting power is very easy. So you don't need to make anything near your factory, just need to figure out a way to get coal and water to the same spot

[native tapir]

Imagine conveyors and pipes as placeable nodes because that's what they are.

[tall lantern]

once you've got your power, it's generally just a loop of pick something -> decide how you're gonna make it -> do it -> pick something else

[vital quest]

I just use farms because they seem like a way more easier and smaller version of a factory

[ornate saffron]

Ita a sandbox game. I ain't going to ever say do "x" ill give you information. It is up to put that knowledge to use.

[thin pilot]

im almost to my coal plant ill show you the location ect

its simple to set up

[vital quest]

I think I’ve found it on the radar

[inner ruin]

i did this for coal power plant #screenshots message

[vital quest]

Such a nice place

[tall lantern]

I assume those extractors are clocked down

[vital quest]

Is that grass lands

[inner ruin]

not by the time im done with it

[vestal kestrel]

is satisfactory cross play for pc and ps5?

[tall lantern]

no

[vestal kestrel]

ah oki

[tall lantern]

it's to the north of there, not particularly far

[vestal kestrel]

mhm i see

[thin pilot]

I just sent mine and the location

thats all I did and nothing is over clocked @vital quest

[vital quest]

Hasn’t sensed yet

Sended

[thin pilot]

its in screenshots sry

[vital quest]

How do i check map?

[thin pilot]

M

[vital quest]

Oh ok thanks

[thin pilot]

unless you havent unlocked it

[ornate saffron]

All shortcuts are on the bottom right of your screen

[vital quest]

Cool

O should’ve brought more resources dammit

Did not expect and forgot

[feral jay]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Controls can also be useful to go over once in a while

[vital quest]

Can anyone look at screenshots if so do i start a factory there?

[inner ruin]

ive used up all the iron nodes on a few machines

[tall lantern]

#screenshots generally isn't for asking questions, #1038092680493801533 is much better for things that need image support that don't fit into other channels

[vital quest]

Ohh okay thanks

[tall lantern]

if a spot has the resources you need to do what you want, go for it

[feral jay]

"Do I start a factory there" Is a VERY vague question, too

[unkempt blade]

what if it sparks joy but it doesn't have the resources?

[feral jay]

I'm only using that spot (Crtaer Lakes) for compacted coal and smokeless powder production rn, it's got plenty of coal and sulphur nearby

In other playthroughs I had massive turbofuel generator farms there

[tall lantern]

"because I want to" is always a valid override for otherwise bad game decisions

[wicked nacelle]

I’ve done aluminum there.

[unkempt blade]

"it's a good excuse to use trains" is my go-to reason

[tall lantern]

choo choo mf

[feral jay]

It actually would be a great spot for a massive central aluminium facility, it's pretty central to all the bauxite, has plenty of water, and is nice and flat

[cunning glade]

wait where

[feral jay]

Crater Lake

One of ours is sitting on the bathroom countertop, fascinated by the faucet. I left it on a very slow drip, she'll sit there for hours staring at it.

lol cat

She's a fricken acrobat, does parkour off the walls chasing the other guy

[vital quest]

If I sell my hub and replace it would it lose all the tiers and phases?

[feral jay]

You get a full refund for anything you ever delete in this game, and nothing is ever lost.

[vital quest]

Even space elevator or whatever

[feral jay]

(well unless you misplace collectibles lol)

[leaden turret]

except for time

[vital quest]

Ok good

[cunning glade]

Yes

[inner ruin]

no. bare cringe

[feral jay]

See this is why the game needs a pause function, one of my cats just knocked something off the bathroom counter while I was fighting a few hogs. I had to run and check for broken glass on the floor.

[ornate saffron]

rumored for 1.2

[inner ruin]

ficsit does not pay you to perform tasks in real life.

[feral jay]

All game designers who advocate for the lack of a pause function in single player games should be fired.

(IMO)

[unkempt blade]

This is why I don't understand people using arachnophobia mode. This wouldn't have happened without that

[urban geode]

I doubt its intentional but it does seem odd to leave out

[spare prism]

Why is everyone giving my post a skull emoji

[unkempt blade]

I'm pretty sure it just means they think you're awesome and talented and they want to be friends

[ornate saffron]

this one
#screenshots message

Likely because its self inflicted challenge run

[feral jay]

One can hope. I just use the Just Pause mod but it should really be a core feature.

[spare prism]

They just made satisfactory to easy

[feral jay]

Playing Satisfactory? Since update 5 I think

[ornate saffron]

its not about difficulty. its a sandbox game.

[spare prism]

Nu uh

[feral jay]

Remember what?

[vital quest]

How di I remove the big shits

[feral jay]

Oh, yeah, everything since u5 or so yes

[ornate saffron]

what is "big shits"

[unkempt blade]

that cast screws is the best recipe in the game

[vital quest]

Big poops

[leaden turret]

fart rocks?

[vital quest]

Yes

[leaden turret]

[feral jay]

I'd argue it's stitched plates, but I hate screws

[ornate saffron]

gases producing rocks can be removed with || pipebombs researched in the MaM||

[unkempt blade]

you probably just hate them because you're not using cast screws enough

[neat plank]

The urge to rebuild my factory for better ratios.

[whole robin]

Do gases move in any different way than fluids or are they literally just fluids with infinite headlift

[green fiber]

gasses tend to fill every connected pipe uniformly

[ornate saffron]

I feel obligated to say

there is many resources on hte map. you do not have to destroy. you can just make new better and have new better plus have old

[green fiber]

if you got a junction splitting fluid and you want 60% to go one way and 40% the other way, the pipe will need to fill pretty much completely before that happens. before that you get perfect 50/50

[whole robin]

This is wonderful news for my upcoming rocket fuel tower

[neat plank]

I think I want to redesign it so I can bring more resources to it. More modular.

[green fiber]

just be careful because gasses suffer just as liquids do when you use mk 2 pipes at max flow.
split the pipe / flow in half first before you feed any tower

600/min should never really go directly into a manifold if you wanna avoid trouble

[neat plank]

I'm a fan of having things centralised over distributed.

[ornate saffron]

I try not to need the max flow of a pipe. You have to manifold multiple sources to get 600 rocket fuel into the pipe. So if I need to send it to mulitple locations i just dont combine it in the first place.

for example My setup turns 75oil into 300 rocket fuel using one refinery to make HOR one blender to make DF and finally a second blender to make 300 rocket fuel.

sure i could combine two 300 lines together to make a 600 line. But why? im going to split it into many generators anyways. so i just run the pipe of 300 to the 30 generators that use it

[feral jay]

Always awesome to see a rising power graph after expanding a generator farm #screenshots message

[whole robin]

What if a single machine is producing all 600 rocket fuel

[native stream]

can someone help me with how to setup a coal generator? anything i need to bare in mind?

[feral jay]

!wikisearch coal generator

[raven axle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=coal+generator

[feral jay]

That's the basics of the gold standard setup

[native stream]

@feral jay i have a pure coal area but it’s like 1.5k metres away lol

from the main water source

[feral jay]

Build near the water, not near the coal

[native stream]

so

coal can be long as heck, just leave the generators close to water?

[feral jay]

Yeah, long pipelines will give you no end of troubles

[native stream]

thank u

[ornate saffron]

that is not a thing

[whole robin]

Doesnt nitro rocket fuel make 150 at 100%?

[ornate saffron]

you need 8 refineries set at 250% to process 600 oil into HOR \

[feral jay]

I might know a thing or two about piplines lol #screenshots message

[whole robin]

Im not worried about oil, im just using the raw materials of coal, sulfur, nitrogen gas, and fuel

[ornate saffron]

you said oil though so i answered the question

[whole robin]

Oh

Sorry, i meant to type "all" 😅

[ornate saffron]

I worked it out so you can use one Blue print for any oil node. 75 oil in makes exactly 300 rocket fuel. All oil nodes with max overclock are divisable by 75.

@whole robin

[ornate saffron]

this involve one refinery at 250% and two blenders 1t 200%. all the numbers work out rather perfect with no decimals. then 300 rocket fuel splits perfectly for 30 generators set at 240%

I imagine this is by design

[whole robin]

Turning the oil straight to fuel or w/ HOR to diluted fuel?

[feral jay]

I have now renamed this to "Mordor" #screenshots message

[ornate saffron]

HOR to DF to NRF

[ornate saffron]

i can send you my write up about it if you like

[feral jay]

Enough capacity for another 80 generators when I need them

[whole robin]

No thank you, I appreciate the sentiment though

[ornate saffron]

ive been thinking about adding it to the wiki

[feral jay]

Jesus when I build my next 80 generators I'll break 100GW

[leaden turret]

do eeet

[feral jay]

Use the talk pages if you're unsure

[whole robin]

I dont see why that would be an issue, but you probably should get a second opinion from someone more qualified than me

[leaden turret]

• Tutorial namespace maybe?
• User namespace first if in doubt / if opionated
• Don't wholesale dump it into the HOR article, but link it from there

[woeful sinew]

is there a way to dump my polymer resin

You got this, man

[fickle locust]

So close

[ornate saffron]

you can use a a sign as well next to your sink to keep track of the quanity being sunk. this way if you need the polymer for Rubber plastic or fabric later you know how much you have to work with with out rechecking all the machines

[leaden seal]

is there currently a working dupe glitch?

[ornate saffron]

there is but honestly its easier to Just give yourself items via Advanced game settings or SCIM

[regal tiger]

Is there a trick to using the Milestone Freighter Pod to get the What A Thrill Achievement? I launch it, stand on top, but then at about the height of the space elevator platform it disappears from under my feet and I free fall back...

Do you have hypertubes?

[regal tiger]

yes

[ornate saffron]

yes thsi is doable

[leaden seal]

i have already finished the game a few times

can i still adctivate AGS after i have already started a game

[whole robin]

Make a rail cannon pointing straight up

[feral jay]

It's more organized than it looks

[ornate saffron]

so just play with AVG (advanced game options ) on and give yourself a stack of whatever you need. Its a sandbox game do whatever your morals allow

[whole robin]

Or just use ladders, its a lot simpler

[hushed mesa]

can i play with someone its so boring needing to wait for my friend to get on and i also dont want to start from 0 so does someone want to play with me?

Im sure it would, but it also only requires rods and patience

[ornate saffron]

not sure if it is possible to turn on AVG after you have already started. i have not looked into it

[ornate saffron]

I havent done it but many ppl here have told me they have.

I built a tower to max height not knowing that the achievment existed

[keen flame]

peak

[subtle grove]

Aaaaaaa I could've sworn there was official modding support at some point--

[ornate frost]

I think the ladder is the "intended" way, based off the achievement's name

While listening to snake eater, of course

[ornate saffron]

likely the highest rock is in the rocky desert. Many just ladder up from there

[steep jewel]

the tallest mountain is actually in the far northwest (more north than west). There's a pure uranium node up there.

You get an achievement for climbing it.

[ornate saffron]

yes that is in the Rocky desert

[steep jewel]

ahhhhh gotcha. yep.

[ornate saffron]

I am reluctant on using the term mountian for some reason ^_^

i do not have a reason i just am

[steep jewel]

well if there's anywhere in the entire game it feels appropriate, it's probably there 😄

[cold pulsar]

my world has no coal and im too broke to pipe it to the closest water system grr

[ornate saffron]

Where i love the Handcrafted map. And everything fits well. But to me all the rock faces feel more like The Canadian Shield we have all over northen Ontario. Not like Mountians

[steep jewel]

you can always go a bit further out, find some coal that's closer to water and start with that

[cold pulsar]

the closest is 1k+ m

[ornate saffron]

we all play on the same World. Its a handcrafted map we all use the same one

[ornate saffron]

this is by design.

[steep jewel]

as someone who was technically raised in the middle of a mountain range, even though you could climb from bottom to top in a couple hours, it does make sense to call these mountains

[cold pulsar]

oh wait i found another its on a floating island and idk how to get there

[steep jewel]

the classification "mountain" is apparently more based around geologic formation than size

[steep jewel]

that's very common, trust me lol

it's worth the trek. all you need to do is build power poles out there.

[cold pulsar]

im too broke to go all the way over there and conveyer it

[ornate saffron]

if you started in the grasslands I recommend Going to coal lake north westish. It has been put there by the devs for coal power

[cold pulsar]

well the thing is im also early game

[vernal walrus]

Basic resources are infinite you should never be "broke"

[cold pulsar]

north west lets see

[steep jewel]

yeah that's why im saying all you need is some cable. if you wire power poles and build the coal generators nearby the mines, it'll be waaay cheaper

[ornate saffron]

north northwest really

[cold pulsar]

do i also loose items if i die

[steep jewel]

just make sure there's a big body of water near the coal mines you use

[cold pulsar]

lose-

[steep jewel]

dont die then 😄

[cold pulsar]

do i lose items if i die-

[steep jewel]

you can build a few platforms to go over or around dangerous areas

most enemies won't bother you unless you get pretty close. and they'll never attack the stuff you build

[ornate saffron]

depends on your setting. Its a general setting and can be change with no negatives. Default is inventory loss on death

[grim trellis]

I want information on 1.2 lmao

[cold pulsar]

the water is at -44, 2415 and im at -506, 2346

[steep jewel]

you will need a LOT LOT LOT of water, keep that in mind

a little pond or a river will NOT cut it, just FYI

[ornate saffron]

All info tuesday

[cold pulsar]

check dm's i can show you the screenie of my mao

[steep jewel]

most rivers are not even deep enough to pump from

[grim trellis]

The suspense it killing me

[regal tiger]

I know that there are various calculators that can show the production trees for any item, but I am hoping to design a factory that maximizes production of all items using the maximum output of all resource nodes. Is there anything out there that can do that (taking account that some of the resources will be used to generate power, not actually make stuff etc)

[sick falcon]

do trains and trucks have collision with each other

[unreal sand]

Im making my first large scale infrastructure project

A double decker highway

[unreal sand]

Yes

[silent vigil]

im done with phase 2 now, THERE ARE HIGHWAYS?

[unreal sand]

No no

You build them

[unreal sand]

Hey same

[real shale]

Go home

[unreal sand]

Im setting this all up for a rail system

[silent vigil]

ohh

[unreal sand]

That’s what the top deck is for

The bottom is a road because meh why not

[silent vigil]

im lowk making a factory to produce motors

[stone scarab]

Who are you talking to

[silent vigil]

and refining my steel production

[unreal sand]

Nice I made one

[real shale]

You

[unreal sand]

It makes 4 per minute

[stone scarab]

Nuh uh

[silent vigil]

im watching tutorial 😭✌️ (spectrum dad is goated af)

[unreal sand]

Which yes I know isn’t big but it’s what I need

[unreal sand]

Don’t just watch tutorials to build everything half the fun is learning

[stone scarab]

Randomly looking in ur bio and wtf does 00:00 mean?!?!?!

[silent vigil]

gang

its a time???

[stone scarab]

Fym gang

[silent vigil]

midnight?

[stone scarab]

12 goes to 1

Are you sped?

[silent vigil]

no it doesnt

[stone scarab]

Yes it does

[silent vigil]

on a digital clock it goes 1-23

[steep jewel]

12:59 to 1:00

[silent vigil]

then to 00

[stone scarab]

Thanks

[steep jewel]

unless... you're on military time 😉

[silent vigil]

exactly

[stone scarab]

No

[steep jewel]

military time starts 00:00 at midnight

[silent vigil]

i dont use no freedom time

[stone scarab]

Fair

[silent vigil]

i do most of the time

[stone scarab]

But it’s not specific to America?

[steep jewel]

it's very commonly americans though that assume it's the only time notation that exists lol

[unreal sand]

Fair enough

[silent vigil]

thats my point

[stone scarab]

Ahem~ give me a moment

[unreal sand]

I don’t understand trains

But ima learn

[steep jewel]

its okay, because trains dont understand you either

[unreal sand]

I’d hope not

[real shale]

Hey, they physically couldn't, they lack brains (as far as we know) :P

[unreal sand]

Trains are not sentient nor have AI so of course they shouldn’t

[ornate frost]

You never know...

[steep jewel]

are you sure?

[unreal sand]

Shhhhh don’t give the trains ideas

[real shale]

The chances of a train having AI are low, but never zero

[unreal sand]

I need them for my eventual aluminum production

[steep jewel]

i mean what's the only way to make AI?

[stone scarab]

Canada (mainly) Australia (mainly) Philippines (always) New Zealand (Always) Pakistan (Always) Bangladesh (Always) Colombia (mainly)

[steep jewel]

"training" them

[stone scarab]

Phew, that took a while.

[real shale]

We know some of the machines in the game use AI at least

And more than one AI sometimes too

[silent vigil]

i hate how the term "ai" is ruined by chat gpt and such

[stone scarab]

Ai is in satisfactory

[real shale]

Yes

[steep jewel]

you also cant say "train" without "ai"

[real shale]

That's why we produce AI limiters :P

[stone scarab]

It sounds bad cuz generative ai bastardized the term

[sage viper]

Any recommendations on where to build an RCU factory?

[real shale]

I wasn't even thinking about either

[steep jewel]

as long as your trains dont start making AI Art i think we'll be okay

[silent vigil]

thats what im saying

[stone scarab]

Wherever you want it

[real shale]

What makes me wonder is how the electromagnetic control rods use AI

[sage viper]

thats the point i dont know where i want it

[stone scarab]

Gotta control the electromagnets somehow

[silent vigil]

build it in the sea

[steep jewel]

build it underneath the ground.
trains can help you get there.

[silent vigil]

hollon, is he writing fire?

[zenith pecan]

I just use regular transport tubes to go underground.

[steep jewel]

that works

i should definitely make an entire factory down there sometime

[zenith pecan]

Or at one place near a nitrogen well, you can walk down the stairs to get into the tunnels.

[regal tiger]

I just discovered something unexpected. I was going for the "Floor is Lava" achievement, so I rode around on the back of the flying mantis for a bit over half an hour. But apparently that doesn't count... So now I will just stand on a ladder for half an hour, which definitely does as i got half the time getting the what a thrill achievement

[steep jewel]

haha

[unkempt blade]

it's practically a free achievement once you're using the hoverpack while building

[steep jewel]

i just rode around the map on power lines

[ornate saffron]

Ya, its a matter of wehn not if when you get the hover pack

[storm hull]

is it time to come back to satisfactory? after a 2 day break?

[steep jewel]

damn that's a pretty long break, don't you have withdrawals?

[unkempt blade]

nah you should go play minesweeper instead

[storm hull]

trying my best out here mayn 😔

[storm hull]

played it before

[steep jewel]

i beat minesweeper on expert

[unkempt blade]

well you've also played satis before so I fail to see why that's an issue

[storm hull]

i'm confused? theres no issues vro

[unkempt blade]

excellent, I look forward to seeing your minesweeper high score 😄

[storm hull]

thanks? 😭

satisfactory discord users gotta be the most chillest random people ever

[unkempt blade]

you're amazing and talented and I believe in you to not click on the wrong grid square

[steep jewel]

cuz we all grown and have attention spans longer than 2 minutes

[molten vessel]

Took a bit of a break to make some more progress in Deep Rock Galactic Survivors, but my save currently has me at having just gotten Coal Power

[storm hull]

ay! me too, maybe the longer than 2 minutes part only

[steep jewel]

that game is fun

DRGS

[molten vessel]

I like it, though I do wish that Mastery Challenges had a second reward for beating them on max hazard

[storm hull]

dexter and satisfactory is os satisfying

[steep jewel]

dextisfactory

[storm hull]

yesss

[zenith bear]

My factory planning was kinda bad in this world. I've just embraced the spaghetti at this point

It's not a mistake it's a feature

[unkempt blade]

It's not bad. I'm sure it has a unique serpentine beauty to it

[zenith bear]

I posted it in #design-and-architecture . Not sure how to link to the exact message

[unkempt blade]

right click a message and get the message link

[zenith bear]

#design-and-architecture message

[unkempt blade]

it's wonderful! it just needs more color and factory carts

[zenith bear]

I never color anything

[cold pulsar]

@ornate saffron i got the coal plant!!

[keen flame]

does uh

does fixing my blown fuses 5 times or so just make them work? 😭

like hitting an old tv irl

[keen flame]

in a row i mean

[normal orbit]

ususally no :p

[keen flame]

cuz that solved it like twice and i didnt have to remake my power system

[normal orbit]

fuses blow cuz you dont make enough power

[keen flame]

i mean, it was working perfectly for hours and then randomly blew up

fixed by doing that, then 2 hrs later, again, and fixed again by the same thing

[normal orbit]

power graph usually tells the story

[keen flame]

i havent touched anything else

then maybe its just like, rare timings where everything is producing smth at the same time?

that makes the fuses blow?

[normal orbit]

hoverpack?

[keen flame]

and it works when i fix it 5 times bc it no longer is? since their production timers are reset

[keen flame]

nope im early game

also, do leaves respawn on the map?

oki thx

[sterile blade]

If your power depends on some fluids, there might have been a lack of fluid somewhere that (probably) caused the initial fuse trip and then had some fluid slowly trickle in whatever is consuming it due gravity, allowing you to successfully flip the switch once

[keen flame]

um, the entire map is powered by coal generators because i've nothing better to do it with, so that's probably it, but like the water and the generators are roughly on the same level and whenever i check it it's always maximum flow

[sterile blade]

Ie: maybe fluid was slowly filling your generators while you were unsuccessfully flipping the switch

[sterile blade]

It's hard to pinpoint the issue exactly without a lot more data :/ (screenshots, knowledge of the entire power grid, etc)

[keen flame]

it's.... really just miners and other machines that process things, all connected to 2 coal generators

with power lines

as i said, i'm new to the game

[sick falcon]

does it derail the train

[ornate saffron]

Congrats!

[unreal sand]

Yes

[sick falcon]

damn alr

[woeful sinew]

is there a way to dump somthing when the storage is full

[feral jay]

Drag it to the trash icon in your inventory

[keen flame]

you can delete them

or u could always sink them

[woeful sinew]

i know that

[keen flame]

into the coupon printer thing

[feral jay]

There's almost always a trash icon on the bottom right

[cold pulsar]

im struggling trying to finish though

[ornate saffron]

!wikisearch cg

[raven axle]

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

[ornate saffron]

this may help

[woeful sinew]

im talking about a full storage being transfered into a dump after its full

[cold pulsar]

its just the pipes

[zenith bear]

Spiders lowkey make this game a horror game

[fierce granite]

caterium tree in the MAM has what you need

[ornate saffron]

the shown diagrams are heavily used and have proven reliable

[hollow orbit]

does anyone know much about console commands, i was experimenting w reflections but because the game culls very closely behind me the reflections look a little weird

[feral jay]

For that, you want to hook the storage up to an awesome sink

[feral jay]

!wikisearch awesome sink

[raven axle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=awesome+sink

[woeful sinew]

ya i know that

im talking about when its full

so the farm still runs

[fierce granite]

Smart splitter

has an overflow option

[unreal sand]

Or a normal splitter if you’re ok with loosing half until the system backs up

[feral jay]

*losing

[unreal sand]

Damn this language

It makes Oh noise but not OO why????

[earnest dock]

Irony: Game about optimization doesnt have any )

[feral jay]

lol tryna help, sry if it looks like I'm being a jackass, I noticed you're Puerto Rican so assume English isn't your first language

[fair dome]

It truly is annoying, even as someone who knows no other language.

[unreal sand]

Thanks and I didn’t take it as such and despite that English is my first language

[feral jay]

haha shows what I know

[cold pulsar]

how do you roatate a lifyt

the tunnel lift that goes up

[feral jay]

Scroll wheel to rotate the bottom, then click to snap it into palce, then scroll wheel to rotate the top

[cold pulsar]

ty

[native stream]

quick question: if i have a coal generator hooked up to a line where a biomass generator is producing energy and i disconnect the biomass, will the coal generator be able to function without it?

[fierce granite]

if the coal generator is powering the water extractor and the miner, it will continue to work

[earnest dock]

Is it possible to make game load less trees? something like gameengine.ini

[native stream]

so if i disconnect my biomass, it should work?

[feral jay]

Assuming the sum of your power draw is less than (coal generator + biomass generator), yes

[weak tinsel]

Lizard Doggo should be able to ride Tractors/trains with you

[native stream]

i believe it is

[inner ruin]

how do i build a tractor? it says crafting bench but its not in here

[stark summit]

I have quite the conundrum and want someone to double-check my assumptions: I'm producing packaged nitric acid and shipping it via drone. I am producing about 440/min and confirm that number as accurate with a conveyor monitor. the drone port claims that it's shipping 340-ish per minute with two drones, one at each end. I can confirm I am not receiving enough on the destination end. Am I correct in assuming that travel time does not matter because the drones are not filling to full when picking up? Their capacity in this situation is higher than what I'm producing, right? The round trip is about 3m55s if that matters. I swear I feel like 100 nitric acid is just disappearing as it enters the drone port.

[inner ruin]

i have

[simple pebble]

They're in the transport tab in the buildings menu, not the bench

[inner ruin]

where is this transport youre both talking about

[fierce granite]

built like a building

[earnest dock]

Q

[inner ruin]

oh that menu

[cold pulsar]

wait that doesnt work

[simple pebble]

Are the drones clearing out the whole depot when they depart? They have like 7 or 9 slots iirc and there's no way to directly view them

[inner ruin]

i got it stuck in 20 seconds of driving

[stark summit]

Yes, I am producing less than 9 stacks by the time the next drone arrives.

[simple pebble]

Huh, that is weird. And I assume there isn't any stoppage at the receiving end?

[inner ruin]

yea i crashed it

[earnest dock]

Use F to diconsteuct

[inner ruin]

yea i got dis now i just couldnt find it is all

[earnest dock]

Explosive is more fun though )

[stark summit]

None I can see. Conveyor monitor says 430ish at both ends, then it goes in a lift, floor hole, top of lift, directly into the drone port

[inner ruin]

yo this tractor is cool

[humble wren]

gents I uhh, am I missing something?
this is supposed to be a wildly addicting game. but I keep finding myself get incredibly bored
especially in the early game, like it just bores me out of my mind to the point of quitting
what am I doing wrong here?

[stark summit]

over 7 stacks per drone, 2 drones

[simple pebble]

Hmm, only other thing I can think of is whether there is a manifold for the unpackagers

[inner ruin]

its your learning. you might be tired and learning the game is a big step so you need to be motivated to learn it

[simple pebble]

If they're not saturated and therefore not unloading evenly that would do it

[earnest dock]

Daily reminder: driving a tractor through the laggy terrain will result in a permanent brain damage

[simple pebble]

Early game is honestly tedious, won't lie

[stark summit]

The problem appears to be at that lift, but i've replaced it to no change.

[stark summit]

This might not be the game for you?

[inner ruin]

aaand i completely wasted my biofuel by driving around on my new toy like i smoked something 😐

[humble wren]

it's like 10 hours of constant work to build a semi-decent production chain, and it's so goddamn boring I mean I've pumped 50 hours into it.
that's probably 5 different runs because I've never gotten further than coal power

🤷‍♂️ dunno, the description of the chores being addicting isn't too fitting to me I guess considering I end up quitting every time lol

[stark summit]

Are you autistic? My autistic friends an I (also autistic) refer to the game as Austism Simulator for a reason.

I find the constant troubleshooting tedious but still tons of fun.

And it keeps my brain thoroughly occupied and firing on most of its cylinders.

[simple pebble]

I love the troubleshooting

[inner ruin]

im whizzing on my new tractor. is this my diagnosis? 😭

[stark summit]

Wait til trains before you self-diagnose through this game 😛

[simple pebble]

Well okay I love troubleshooting until pipes are involved

[inner ruin]

TRAINS? WHERE?

CHOO CHOOOOOOOOO

[humble wren]

I am not!
see the game shines when you have a huge amount of resources and you're able to create these properly good factories, trains too
but the work it takes to get to that point is downright painful to put up with
"I want to do this. but I simply can't because I don't generate enough resources, to create more resources, in order for me to do this" >>> 30 hours later "aight now we can do it"

[stark summit]

Pipes can eat me. I hate liquid pipes so much.

[humble wren]

bottom line, the game probably isn't for me 😂

[stark summit]

Yeah, I loved the game less than 2 hours into it, and 10 hours in I was hopelessly hooked.

less than 10 hours even!

[silent vigil]

I have that with other games too but not with satisfactory

[stark summit]

My first play session was probably... 12 hours maybe?

[silent vigil]

its like theslight snail speed progresion keeps me hooked

[humble wren]

I appear to be the opposite, where it takes a huge amount of time for me to get to a place where I feel happy to play it

[simple pebble]

Big thing for me is I'm always getting something done in this game

[stark summit]

the main "quest line" is like a minimum of 150 hours, possibly closer to 300

[humble wren]

because I want to make these properly good factories
but then I look in my storage bin and see that there's next to nothing in there and it just puts me right off

[silent vigil]

yeah true

[silent vigil]

there is a quest line?

[stark summit]

Saving the Day

Just the "Main Objective"

[silent vigil]

wait how do i even get quartz

like the closest one is blocked off by a massive boulder

[stark summit]

Are you trying to emulate what you see others do? because that never works. You have to progress at your own pace, unlocking each milestone and setting up your automation so you stay stocked on stuff. Not enough stuff? Make stuff to get more stuff... morely.

[stark summit]

Rocky Desert?

[silent vigil]

ye

[stark summit]

The cave is kinda a straight line, west to east. Go to the east entrance

[humble wren]

see whenever I build stuff, I want to make it look good
but that's completely impossible during the early game
so it's a long grind through any world to get to the point that I want to be at

[unkempt blade]

You know what would really class the place up and use almost no resources? A factory care skate park with carts automated to do tricks 24x7

[stark summit]

or go east out of Rocky into the Northern Forest, should be some sulfur nearby you can use to progress the MAM tree and unlock nobelisks, assuming you have steel stuff going.

[humble wren]

hence the quitting around coal power because I cannot be bothered to keep upping the supplies, only to then go "i'll just tear it all down later which'll be annoying"

[silent vigil]

i sorta got the steel stuff

[stark summit]

Sorry friend, but that's a main draw of the game. This isn't the game for you I think.

[unkempt blade]

Just to be honest with you if you're already not liking the gameplay loop in T3 it just might not be the type of game for you

[silent vigil]

i got like 3k pipes and 3k beams left over from my factory deconstruction

[unkempt blade]

it just becomes more of those things later

[stark summit]

Tearing it down later to rebuild is a JOY for me.

[silent vigil]

my brother just another me

[inner ruin]

now im not admitting what atrosity i have just commited with the tractor, all i am saying is i just got the achievement "Asserting Dominance"

[stark summit]

Tearing down is annoying because dismantle crates, but the rebuilding is CATHARTIC AF.

Like going back to a boss after you outlevel it and stomping it after it stomped you previously.

[silent vigil]

i got ONE dismantle crate

and u do NOT wanna know whats in there

[stark summit]

You should only get one.

If your settings are set "correctly".

[inner ruin]

can the truck station put stuff in my tractor?

[silent vigil]

i didnt change anything abt my graphics

[silent vigil]

i think so ye

[normal orbit]

its a gameplay setting, not graphics

"Merge Dismantle Crates"

[stark summit]

It keeps adding to the first dismantle crate and doesn't make more, unless you dismantle stuff far enough away while your inventory is full. Then it might make another one instead of pooling.

[silent vigil]

mb i meant i didnt change anything expet my graphics

[silent vigil]

yeah i have 2 dismantle crates atm

one is rlly far away one is at my factory

[stark summit]

OK, makes sense there are two then.

[frosty sedge]

Dismantle crates are scary ngl

[stark summit]

Old way in early 1.0 was it would make a crate every time, so you'd have TONS of them everywhere.

Now I think the default setting is merging.

[silent vigil]

i got the game recently

[proud leaf]

guys i remade my spaghetti orginal factory and made it soo much better and EFFICENT

[stark summit]

This is the way.

[fierce granite]

build something at hub, fill inventory, dismantle item at hub, create a crate for everything to go to right next to hub

[proud leaf]

YES

[stark summit]

You can make it better still, but maybe later.

[silent vigil]

if i delete my hub do i have to do all the milestones again

[stark summit]

You can always make it better or more efficient. But you don't have to. At least not right now.

[stark summit]

no

[green fiber]

i tend to just leave the old factories running.
Not like it harms me. Serves as a reminder to do better

[stark summit]

I do this too

[green fiber]

i can revisit them once i unlocked more decorations and maybe put on finishing touches

constantly tearing down and rebuilding is ultimately a waste of your own time if you rebuild the same factory for a second time

one rebuild or two early on? still ok
after that its just not worth it

better spent making a new, better factory elsewhere

[stark summit]

I usually rebuild once I get hoverpack.

Then I don't rebuild past that.

[ionic night]

the peronsal elevator is bugged?

[green fiber]

thats a vague question

[ionic night]

when stoped at the second floor

my character keep shaking

[green fiber]

havent experienced that myself

[silent vigil]

what research or milestone should i try getting

[stark summit]

All.

Not all at once, but tackle what you can now, and the rest later when you can.

[sudden flint]

Would you consider downloading a blueprint pack to be contrary to the spirit of the game?

[zenith pecan]

I blew up the entire dunes a couple weeks back, the place is looking kind of developed now.

[stark summit]

Will it contribute to fun? If so, no, the purpose of the game is to have fun.

[bleak maple]

Looks the the QA site is getting spammed atm. Should we try to give a heads up or just expect they will clean it up eventually?

[stark summit]

There are no rules outside of predetermined game mechanics.

[simple pebble]

depends on the nature of the blueprint pack but ultimately, game is one big sandbox and there's no reason to gatekeep imo

[stark summit]

If you don't like the mechanics, go find a mod that changes them to your liking.

[sudden flint]

I want to make those cool industrial blocks because that'll KILL the complications of setting up production, but I also want them to have enough realism that there's room for "maitenence", and it's driving me insane

[simple pebble]

If your first run uses a megaprint someone else put together, honestly, that's no different from using cheat codes to make a first play of another single player game easier

[stark summit]

Can't find a mod? Make your own and publish it (after extensive testing) so others can enjoy it too.

[simple pebble]

(and you can still get a lot out of a game doing that)

[zenith pecan]

I just build long range logistics under the map.

[sudden flint]

... ngl, that bugs my brain, but you play how you like

[feral jay]

lol hence the username

[silent vigil]

where do i even find mods

[sudden flint]

oh my gosh

that's clever

[feral jay]

https://ficsit.app

[zenith pecan]

Can even walk down stairs at one point to access my tunnels, no clipping at that spot.

[silent vigil]

what if this is a superultra mega ultra hacker deluxe pro max wowzers pc killer virus

[sudden flint]

how does that even work?

you just sliced out a section of world geometry!?

[feral jay]

THere's a few holes in the map

[sterile blade]

We have a whitelist for links, so it's highly unlikely

[zenith pecan]

There is a video clip in #design-and-architecture showing it.

[silent vigil]

alr

[simple pebble]

oh that's so cool

[feral jay]

I am Canadian, therefore you can trust me. We're all just awesome, standup people.

[simple pebble]

I've been considering a subway system one of these days but the game rarely ever needs long distance logistics that merits it

[silent vigil]

ah yes exept this one 75% canandian guy ik

hes lowk annoying

[simple pebble]

could do one for harvesting bauxite though

[zenith pecan]

The stair well in question is near the nitrogen well in the northern dunes.

[sudden flint]

.... where, like in that big ol' pit at the edge of the impure node fields?

[silent vigil]

wait

satisfactory has a voxel system?

[green fiber]

not really

unless you consider the foundations and such voxels

[sudden flint]

which would be a poor use of the word, given that volumetric pixels are by definition, square, equal in size, and the smallest unit

[surreal ingot]

@wintry peak satisfactory calculator, interactive map
#screenshots message

[silent vigil]

oh yeah

[sudden flint]

none of which apply to foundations

[silent vigil]

i heard alot abt blowing stuff up

[green fiber]

theres a few objects you can blow up

but nothing voxel based

the map terrain itself is indestructible

[sudden flint]

landscape is like 90% fixed

[zenith pecan]

Heres the spot ehere you can walk from under the map to the surface #design-and-architecture message

[stark summit]

To add to this: there are destructible rocks and structures, but they are by design not permanent fixtures in the world's layout.

[earnest dock]

Are trucks worth the hustle?

[stark summit]

Actually I wouldn't even call them structures, the gas pillars (fart rocks) that make poison gas to limit your exploration.

[frosty sedge]

Depends what your transporting in my opinion

[stark summit]

Efficiency-wise? IMO no. Fun-wise? If you can make the path, worth it.

[simple pebble]

There's been occasions where they're good, main benefit is for longer distance travel not looking like garbino

[earnest dock]

Ty :3

[stark summit]

Making paths is why I rarely use trucks/tractors.

[simple pebble]

but I've used them to mass transfer outputs from one base to another and they're tidy for that

[sterile blade]

That's a... Divisive topic xD
They can be fun, but also quite annoying to deal with, so it comes down to your preferences which sentiment wins ^^

[simple pebble]

trucks are also nice because they run pretty well off of foundation

[stark summit]

Tractors and trucks look nice. When the auto-driver isn't drunk. Which it is constantly.

[sudden flint]

DAYUM!

[sterile blade]

Maybe I should stop feeding my trucks with coke...

[silent vigil]

just use the factory caryt

its way better

[stark summit]

This is a joke, just in case you are new enough to not know better.

[sterile blade]

That is not a joke at all

[silent vigil]

well its more stylish tho 🤷‍♂️

[sterile blade]

@unkempt blade You tell 'em!

[silent vigil]

bro i cant

satisfactory translated into dutch sounds so stupid

(its another word for pleasing)

[sterile blade]

You should try the Pirate translation.
It's... More stylish, you could say

[leaden turret]

irregular reminder that I asked them to translate it to uwu and they said no

[sterile blade]

The reactions are enough already

[leaden turret]

-# particu acceluwator

[inner ruin]

the truck station wont load anything into my tractor. it only unloads

[frosty sedge]

U can toggle it

[inner ruin]

i know

[frosty sedge]

So u have 1 input 1 output right

[silent vigil]

how do i get this so called uwu langauge

[inner ruin]

for now i just put things directly into the truck stop so i can test the load and unload. it only unloads

[silent vigil]

flick the switch

[leaden turret]

make one then get xabk to change their mind 😛

[frosty sedge]

When u recorded the path did u stop at the station properly

[silent vigil]

i got this trust

[inner ruin]

dude i said i saw the switch

[leaden turret]

-# persuwu eluwator

[silent vigil]

yes press it

[inner ruin]

...

[silent vigil]

boom it loads

[earnest dock]

You need to touch the loading station in a special place

[inner ruin]

ok troll

[frosty sedge]

Don't get mad because u don't know something and there trying to help

[silent vigil]

gang i havent used the truck station myself

[frosty sedge]

That's not cool

[silent vigil]

im just stating the obvious

[inner ruin]

i said i saw the switch..

[stark summit]

They aren't trolling. You literally flip a switch to swap between load and unload.

Did you flip it?

[leaden turret]

-# turn it off and back on again

[frosty sedge]

Right so hit it or explain your route or smt tell us your issue in detail

[earnest dock]

Try unpluging it from the grid

[inner ruin]

nah fam i just left it on unload and im sat here wondering why it aint loading...

[stark summit]

You say you saw it. Did you actually flip it?

[inner ruin]

does it have to be real close or sm?

[stark summit]

just somewhere kinda under the arm that sticks out.

[inner ruin]

it says press f to load into tractor but it aint doing anything

[stark summit]

a hint will pop up saying press F to dock

[earnest dock]

Try driving away a bit and then return for a loading

[frosty sedge]

Is there actually stuff inside the truck station that's loading

[stark summit]

It is finnicky when you do it manually.

[inner ruin]

if i set it to unload it always unloads when i press f but if i set it to load it never does anything

[frosty sedge]

Are u driving it or auto pilot

[inner ruin]

im driving it

[silent vigil]

is there smth in the station to load

[frosty sedge]

Is it powered

[proud leaf]

i just realized that somtimes i'm to lazy to start building something in satisfactory but after i start doing it i can't stop is that normal?

[inner ruin]

yep

[stark summit]

They said it unloads, so I would assume it's powered.

[silent vigil]

yes it is

[proud leaf]

hmm interesting

[stark summit]

you have something in the truck's inventory, right?

[feral jay]

I just realized how easy blueprints make it to get yourself underground

[inner ruin]

it must be conflicting controls cause i changed the keybind from F to Y and now both work fine

[zenith pecan]

Easier than when I first made a guide, vertical nudge a tube down then boop.

[feral jay]

Yep that's how I used to do it

I'm just starting to explore the idea of building underground this save

Nothing down there yet

[silent vigil]

what would thqat even be usefull for

[zenith pecan]

I'll eventually rebuild uranium processing down there.

[feral jay]

There's nothing in the way underground, no terrain to deal with. Plus it's just neat.

[zenith pecan]

My sam processing is under the dunes.

[stark summit]

https://tenor.com/view/marge-i-just-think-theyre-neat-the-simpsons-neat-potato-gif-8549864

[silent vigil]

fair enough

[stark summit]

oh no, no embeds!

[silent vigil]

thats rough

[feral jay]

"Because I want to" is a valid reason to do anything in this game.

[stark summit]

anything in the game is valid, as long as you can do it.

[zenith pecan]

I still need to build copper powder when I get back home, 800pm

[silent vigil]

and if u cant do it, mods

is there a reason not to use mk3 belts exept for recources?

[feral jay]

I just use the highest tier belt I have available, all the time

[silent vigil]

yeah which is 3 for me

[feral jay]

The odd time I'll use a lower tier belt to rate limit something, or because stuff moving across slower belts just looks cooler sometimes

[silent vigil]

absolute satisfactory

yall how do i get tickets faster

[feral jay]

Overproduce and sink everything

[silent vigil]

whats sink

[feral jay]

!wikisearch awesome sink

[raven axle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=awesome+sink

[inner ruin]

dammit my own tractor run me over

[silent vigil]

oh right

[vernal walrus]

Put smart splitters in key places to sink all the overflow. Tickets will roll in.

Also go hunt some aliens to make paste then turn it into DNA tubes. Those will rack up tickets quick starting off.

[silent vigil]

there are aliens?

[feral jay]

Oh yea also turn remains into DNA capsules, they're specifically in the game to make it faster to get points early

[vernal walrus]

All the creatures.

[silent vigil]

oh right

[feral jay]

Alien to Earth, not Massage

[silent vigil]

how

[vernal walrus]

Use the MAM to do the research

[feral jay]

Turn alien remains into alien protein, and then the protein into DNA capsules. You unlock those recipes in the MAM

[delicate storm]

Hey iam new here where can i post screenshots ... i need help with railways 😄

[leaden turret]

#1038092680493801533

[unreal sand]

Help I’m having a rail placement issue

[weary gate]

Satisfactory missed the mark not including solar

[next ivy]

If you think its something complicated, open a thread in #1038092680493801533
That way you can add pics

[silk ivy]

guys isnt there a way to do a smaller nudge than with the arrow keys

[next ivy]

You can hold ctrl

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> re: dev stream, someone asked about getting night cycle because no mods on steam deck, but a quick search on the modding discord indicates that mod manager works?

[next ivy]

Something like railing can be used to freeplace things vertically too

[unreal sand]

It won’t let me place a rail turn because apparently it’s too sharp but I’ve seen others use the design

[weary gate]

Solar is the logical choice for pioneers, 0/10

[leaden turret]

November 26th, 2024
Q&A: Any Solar Power coming in?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRteynSwgDQ

never

[unreal sand]

Well is there any mods or way I can XML edit rails to let me make the turn

Never mind found a solution

It’s a bit odd but it works

[unkempt blade]

we already have factory carts driving on hamster wheel turbines why would we need solar?

[unreal sand]

What?

[unkempt blade]

just discussing the best green power option in satis

geo is small beans and solar can't compete with factory cart hamster wheels

[sturdy tartan]

can somebody look at the math and meta channel? its a pretty simple question i kinda need answered quick

[unkempt blade]

Have you tried it one way or the other to see if they work yet? It looks like it would be a pretty small experiment

[sturdy tartan]

sure ill try

i was just making a simple iron stuff factory

[feral swan]

How good really is this diluted fuel recipe ?

[unkempt blade]

like 75% as good as cast screws which is the best recipe in the game

[feral swan]

Hmm sounds good then

[weary gate]

Why again isn’t there solar

[thin pilot]

the pain of acidently using a mk1 pipe for a 600 through put liquid 😢

1 pipe my power goers from a stair case to perfect

[sudden flint]

Overpowered + Not Ficsit Approved + L + Ratio

[weary gate]

Well that dosn't explain

[sinful roost]

@fossil oyster Your Silo setup looks amazing!

[inner ruin]

cause coal and gas provide more energy

[vernal walrus]

Solar power isn't very exploitive of you, Pioneer.

[sudden flint]

It's because it goes against the game ideology that nothing comes for free, and all products, power included, need to have something put in to get smth out

[abstract heron]

well i just got 5k hr in my current world

[inner ruin]

additionally who the hell wants solar power

[sudden flint]

and if it did exist, massive solar panel arrays would just sit around in your world, like.

[weary gate]

me and alot of others

[unreal sand]

I mean it could require water to maybe balance it but meh I prefer coal

[sudden flint]

sorry ma dude, devs said no

[vernal walrus]

While I don't mind never having solar, why have accumulators?

If I'm not producing enough to meet demand of my whole factory I'm doing it wrong.

[weary gate]

Geo and nuclear are the closest we get

[vernal walrus]

I know they could midigate flucuations when the factory is going full bore but... again... just produce more power.

[unreal sand]

Tho one thing that somewhat confuses me is geothermal

[weary gate]

So green energy isn’t the problem…

[unreal sand]

The problem is free energy

[weary gate]

It wouldn’t work at night lol.

[unreal sand]

All power sources need some input

[sudden flint]

maybe. But also, theres power sources with variable output, and sometimes you underestimate the power draw of a factory and the storage gives you a grace period to get more power online or the factory shut down without crashing your grid

[unreal sand]

Exept geothermal

[vernal walrus]

Completely fair.

[weary gate]

The existence of geothermal kinda blows up their argument

[sudden flint]

which, again, is hampered by variable power draw and relatively little output

[tall lantern]

geothermal's weak af tho

[unreal sand]

True

Especially by the stage of the game you get it at

[tall lantern]

with something like solar or wind you could basically cover an entire layer of the map, at least geo (and hydro if we got it on say waterfalls) is far more constrained and balanceable

[weary gate]

Even wind would be variable and never a shortcut

[sudden flint]

theres mods if you want em, I'm sure

[fierce granite]

this is a mod that has both

[weary gate]

Solar power is not in Satisfactory because it breaks the core gameplay loop of logistics and resource management. Developers excluded it to ensure players must build complex, fuel-consuming infrastructure to generate power, rather than placing free, "infinite" energy sources. Solar goes against the game's theme of exploiting resources for efficiency.

Geothermal blows this argument out of the water

[tall lantern]

minus the infinite part

[tall lantern]

see ^

[sudden flint]

It literally Doesn't

because they made it barely worth it

[tall lantern]

geothermal is incredibly limited because there's only a small fixed number of places it could go

[hoary scarab]

Dose anyone know what wil ve in the next update and what it will focus on???

[tall lantern]

solar and wind would be unlikely to have that limit

[weary gate]

They could do the same with solar, require water input etc.

plus not working at night.

[hoary scarab]

Hydro dam at that point man

[tall lantern]

fluid truck, rain, new game mode (details unknown but suspicion is at least some sort of randomiser), bug fixes, unannounced stuff

[sudden flint]

we don't know for sure, but iirc, there's some speculation for adding rain to the game again

[tall lantern]

oh and a selfie camera

[sudden flint]

oh yeah

[tall lantern]

not speculation, it's long confirmed

[sudden flint]

ah

[hoary scarab]

Oh yeah the game hinted at it

[tall lantern]

they've given a few crumbs out, but we'll get the full details Tuesday

[tall lantern]

these are all the confirmed things I can think of offhand plus the selfie mode
the bugfixes include the hoverpack stun bug which is nice

[deft drum]

Man

After dinner I am going to go build my first nuclear plant in the North West.

Excited!

[proud leaf]

so i made my mind so i'm at phase 1 and i'm planning not to make a mega factory but to make alot of mini facotries making stuff like a iron factory a copper factory coal factory and etc

is this good?

[tall lantern]

sure, separate production is a generally recommended idea

[proud leaf]

YAY

[tall lantern]

though probably not that separate, since a lot of stuff's gonna need a bit of multiple materials

but you could have a "steel basics" factory, motor factory, HMF factory, etc

[proud leaf]

okey that's a litte to much btw i am planning to have for now tractors later trains going all around the map transporting the neccasary items

[deft drum]

It can work

[proud leaf]

is there a way to get automated wood just asking its usless except for the chainsaw

[deft drum]

Narp

You can semi-automate it

Just cut the wood, shove the wood and leaves in a (seperate) box that feeds constructors that feeds another constructor making the solid biofuel

[hexed ravine]

I am so close to beating the game

I am waiting on my last nuclear pasta

Just need 65 more 🙏

[zenith bear]

What is nuclear pasta

Is this some sort of end game component meant to strike fear in my veins

[normal orbit]

Hyperdense degenerate matter, found in cores of neutron stars. And yes you get to automate it.

[vernal walrus]

In the coloring tool, the 3rd option with all the different swatch numbers, can the name of those not be changed?

[normal orbit]

No

[vernal walrus]

Bummer

Was hoping I was just missing the text imput somewhere

[real shale]

Just don't open the box.....

[deft drum]

"Aaaaaand there goes my copper"

[real shale]

Opening the nuclear pasta box may result in instantly getting all forms of cancer at once

[normal orbit]

It's not radioactive

[real shale]

? It is? It gives off immense amounts of EM radiation

[deft drum]

I feel a more accurate description is "you stop being biology and start being physics"

[deft drum]

To make 1 Nuclear Pasta per minute you need 200 "Copper Powder" per minute

To make 200 Copper Powder you need, 1,200 Copper Ingots per minute

[normal orbit]

A lightbulb gives off em radiation. Em radiation does not equal radioactive

[real shale]

The difference is a lightbulb doesn't give off nearly as much radiation as a neutron star does

[deft drum]

"Low amounts of Gamma radiation, nothing harmful"

[real shale]

Oh yeah for sure

[deft drum]

You need to send up 1,100 nuclear pasta to beat the game.

Plus another 100 as an intermediate

[real shale]

But they are still radioactive, just not in the x-ray form, neutron radiation is what occurs in those

[normal orbit]

Yes but the gravity is so strong the neutrons aren't radiating

[neat plank]

Im 6 hours into this game and I hate screws.

[deft drum]

Well the Pressure Convermment Cube is there to stop the neutrons and protons inside from wanting to no longer be compressed

[deft drum]

Correct

Find a hard drive and get cast screws, it will help

[real shale]

That's why I said opening it is a bad idea lmao

Don't open the nuclear pasta box..... Or do...I'm not stopping you

[normal orbit]

Or the recipes which lets you skip screws

[neat plank]

Like I'm just about at the part where I start using Assemblers and I'm redesigning the Factory and getting the numbers right sucks.

[deft drum]

Cast screws let you skip the rods step

[real shale]

the common misconception people have is "it wasnt made from anything naturally radioactive so surely it cant be radioactive..."

[deft drum]

"Can't we just deactivate neutron activation?"

[neat plank]

Yeah maybe. But them I still need rod for Rotors. The Factorio player in me just wants to bus it.

[normal orbit]

Buses isn't a satisfactory thing really :p

[neat plank]

A few Conveyers filled with plates rods and screws xD.

As far as the eye can see.

[deft drum]

as a factorio player as well (beat space age in 86 hours right after release) it can be a hard urge to avoid

[neat plank]

I may need to just use some good ol' pen and paper 😄

[deft drum]

There are multiple internet calculators, and even Factoriolab has a dedicated satisfactory page

[neat plank]

That feels like cheating myself out of a voyage of discovery.

The best part is the designing 😄

[normal orbit]

Can always make it radioactive :) like nuclear fuel rods. Go from really not radioactive to being really really radioactive after a few billion neutrons gone thru it

[deft drum]

Press N to pop up a search window, and it acts like a calculator

[real shale]

its more so the point that if you pack something dense enough or fire it fast enough, it gives off loads of radiation, kinda like how chucking a ball at air near the speed of light can cause a nuclear detonation (see xkcd comic)

https://what-if.xkcd.com/1/

[deft drum]

Also, I've found the best success making/designing a factory by starting from the end and working my way back

[hexed ravine]

IVE JUST BEAT SATISFACOTRY

FOR THE FIRST TIME

110HRS

[real shale]

No you didnt, there is no beating it, there is only growing the factory

[hexed ravine]

...

[real shale]

Get back to work local production manager, your duties to ficsit still remain

[hexed ravine]

stfu

[real shale]

No

[deft drum]

Also, Do not be afraid to use foundations
They're VERY important for keeping things reasonable.

Also also, learn what a "Manifold" is and how it works. https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Manifold

[neat plank]

Cool.

[deft drum]

Making manifolds is the closest we got to inserters
