satisfactory

[tall lantern]

lol greeny's typing, I'll leave it to him

[reef basin]

it doesn't really "choose recipes"

rather it picks a path that leads to least raw resource usage (using weighted resources)

[wise junco]

hahaha I saw that too

[celest hatch]

no, you need to select your alternates or limit the recipes you don't want.

[wise junco]

got it, that makes perfect sense

[reef basin]

that's... not really true

it does indeed "pick recipes" on its own

[wise junco]

TBH, I used to fight with it more before, like "no, I ONLY want this recipe" - now I'm like wait... it's picking these things for a reason

[void cliff]

Is there a specific time experimental 1.2 is launching tomorrow?

[tall lantern]

end of stream

see #dev-streams

[reef basin]

well, approaching it with "I have to look at this and decide myself" is still healthy. I wouldn't just blindly use what it said

[mortal ginkgo]

I won't repeat myself and this is not open to negotation. I need this thing:

[wise junco]

oh for sure, there's some use cases where I go "absolutely I will not use the tiniest fraction of oil just for this one recipe" but overwhelmingly it has helped me broaden out

[sturdy tartan]

is there a way to make hard drive research faster? like is it in the advanced settings or is it not possible

[tall lantern]

nope, just go do something else while you wait. build that factory, keep exploring, kill beans

[celest hatch]

You can unlock recipes with AGS if you really must, iirc

[tall lantern]

don't forget you can plop down a MAM, kick off a scan, dismantle MAM, continue on your merry way

[reef basin]

AGS can give you recipes directly

though if you research as you do your recipe runs, you don't really need to "wait"

[sturdy tartan]

alr ty

[cunning glade]

Sometimes I wish trains could run u over

Instead of just phasing thru them

[cunning glade]

But killing beans makes ada yell at u

[celest hatch]

if I accidentally off'd a Lizard Doggo by running them over, will they respawn or is that it?

[ornate saffron]

A diffrent doggo will take its place. They breed like cats

[crystal yoke]

wait what is it gonna update?
we dont have to start a new playthru to play it right

[primal crypt]

thier 5 doogs above the swamp water fall.

[tall lantern]

only Experimental, and no, saves carry forward

[cunning glade]

No

Just back up ur save if on pc

[crystal yoke]

epic

[tall lantern]

though the changes might give you a reason to want to restart

[crystal yoke]

nooo

64 hours into the game

[cunning glade]

It's just weather and what fluid "fixes"

[tall lantern]

it's opt-in, so if you're not interested, just don't

[crystal yoke]

big base and big progress

[tall lantern]

no changes to fluids mentioned so far afaik

[cunning glade]

Even tho fluids are perfect

[cunning glade]

Oh was it a different update where they did fluid fixes

[primal crypt]

scroll up mooise we had apoc ansered all the questions.

[tall lantern]

the list I have offhand

• new game mode (details unknown but heavily hinted to be some sort of node randomisation)
• fluid truck
• rain is returning
• selfie photo mode
• hoverpack stun bug fixed

[cunning glade]

Ik there was an update with supposed fluid fixes but we just didn't know what that was

[cunning glade]

Wait hoverpack bug?

[tall lantern]

so far that's just wishful thinking and copium based on the fluid truck

[undone peak]

I have iron, copper and limestone auto produced and stored so know what

[cunning glade]

Hoverpack causes horrible lag if u extended how far it can connect

[tall lantern]

could it happen? sure. will it? who knows

[cunning glade]

Like fucking horrendous lag

That's the only bug ik which isn't very vanilla

[tall lantern]

dunno about lag, but it's more the fact that moving between power grids can completely stun said grid for a few seconds with the hoverpack enabled

[cunning glade]

Ah that one

[undone peak]

I’m stuck since I’m trying to figure out what’s my next plan

[tall lantern]

if you're modding, that's squarely the mod's problem

[tall lantern]

pick something you haven't automated yet, automate it

[cunning glade]

No it's the hoverpack jumping between so many connections along with prolly that bug u mentioned

[tall lantern]

milestones are there to guide you through

[cunning glade]

Cuz even just extending range on the base one causes it so I see why it's so limited

[cunning glade]

I'm stuck on like deciding how and where I wanna do my plans

[primal crypt]

That normall it usually takes me a day after completing one thing to gain momentum on the next thing. first you have to pick the next thing off the things that need doing. Then you have to decide how to do it. then run it though tools. then make an outline of said thing and see you it looks.

then if your me you complete the thing hate it and delete it. and start over.

[cunning glade]

well its part of the same build i got all mats hooked up too trains i now need too build the platform for the outputs decide if wanna put it in grassy fields or red forest cuz red is more central for an aluminum plant im also lazy but also after this i finish my drones and then computers

also kinda decide how i build it cuz i kinda dont want just a rectangle but its prolly gonna be that way

[edgy brook]

First time launching satisfactory

[wise junco]

oh, to go back....

[dusk rover]

what if satisfactory added like an underwater DLC or underwater update theres alot of oceans on the map so it makes sense

[cunning glade]

Real

Too go back and be new at 1.0💔

I wish I could

[primal obsidian]

yeah it was so fun

[wise junco]

thats when i started. right at 1.0 launch. i had never heard of it

[cunning glade]

I discovered the game back in 2021 I believe

[primal obsidian]

I watched one let’s game it out video and then started at 1.1 like 1 year later I think

[edgy brook]

i only watched that lets game it out guy on satisfactory and it was great b ut ive been busy with education

[ornate saffron]

i found it in my steam library around U7 lol

[edgy brook]

only now do i have the time for it

[wise junco]

you will absolutely love it

[primal obsidian]

I can’t get back into it though i dont know why

I played it for like 2 months straight and then just stopped after I beat the game

[cunning glade]

The game?

[primal obsidian]

yeah

[cunning glade]

So many ways with mods

[wise junco]

you're never done. you're just taking a break

[covert vault]

Anyone know what time 1.2 is being released?

[cunning glade]

In this playthrough which is technically my first I'm going for 60 pasta a min and 112 ficsonium rods

[ornate saffron]

#dev-streams check there that info is in your timeazone

[cunning glade]

After I'll be doing either constant requirements or increased ones

Oh wait no

Next is my VR playthrough

Next playthrough will be only in vr

I assume time wise that it may take longer

[cunning glade]

Just get a VR and play it in vr

[primal obsidian]

I have a vr but somebody (cough* my cousin) broke the VR

[cunning glade]

Get a new one simple

[celest hatch]

Aww, boo. I made all my Solid Biofuel into Packaged Liquid Biofuel, and now I realize I can't run the chainsaw with those.

[wise junco]

don't worry, you'll chuck that thing before long

[celest hatch]

i could just blow it all up, sure, but the reload speed is slow and it doesn't let me be precise and not accidentally blow up a nice fruit plant

Probably will be easier when I set up my explosive rebar. Those might reload about the same, but I don't gotta bother throw'n em

[velvet hollow]

did they mess up the date on this one?

[mint spire]

One of the research nodes for the Mycelia tree in the MaM says they're sentient. Clearly the mushrooms are the ones who made the Mercer Spheres and Summersloops.

[primal obsidian]

oops i misclicked

[tall lantern]

it's only the times that are important in those timestamps

[real shale]

Baaaaa 🐑

[tall lantern]

yes they're set for today rather than tomorrow, but the actual text says tomorrow

[real shale]

Hello everyone

[wise junco]

hey pioneer 😄

[low ingot]

hi

[tall lantern]

(and for reference it's basically always Tuesdays for releases)

[real shale]

Omg it's medicinal banana, hiii

[real shale]

Hello :D

Who here is hyped for the stream tomorrow

[wise junco]

i'll be working 🙁

[warm finch]

it's experimental, so nah

[grizzled jolt]

I had an idea and it's working

[real shale]

I mean, it'll still be showing what all we are getting

[grizzled jolt]

I'm somerslooping power slugs

[real shale]

Nooo :<

[warm finch]

I'll wait until it's official.

[grizzled jolt]

63 power slugs a minute

[real shale]

500. Power shards.

[grizzled jolt]

Power shards*

[steep trench]

I'm experimentaling and it's awesome. Irritating Linux text box bugs are fixed.

[celest hatch]

Even if you're not into playing the beta, i think you should still be excited to know what's comin'

[grizzled jolt]

Only 54 MW too

[steep trench]

this feels like such a good cheat! right up until you have a power shard factory

[grizzled jolt]

I have over 100 power shards now

[grizzled jolt]

Not able to make em but I have a crazy amount now

[steep trench]

they go fast

(aha ha, unintentional)

[undone peak]

I’ve started automating every single part I need

[grizzled jolt]

I'm a special kind of fool and I make temp factories and get just enough to get to the next phase

I've basically only automated iron

[celest hatch]

I don't automate a lot of logistics until trains, and when I first start trains I still have to stockpile materials to make choo do the choo choo, so, i have to make like a passenger tram until i get enough to make the stations

[south sinew]

first thing I make is hypercannons

[steep trench]

I thought I had a good idea when I realized that, with some storage containers, you can reuse the same assemblers and manufacturers for different parts.

Then I got lazy and started conveyoring them in places where I didn't want to carry stuff between containers ... and now I have a bunch of dedicated factories with useless storage containers in them

[celest hatch]

i was using my explorer but maybe i can make some again, they basically are portals-before-portals and honestly kinda just as good. but pioneer inventory so limited. here is my "tram" setup, basically bootstraps to setting up more proper automated logistics. and i have to redo my hub area still. I forgot how much a PITA some things are w/o a hoverpack, tbh. #screenshots

[undone peak]

Do I move my base?

[undone peak]

Since the area I’m in is rocky and weird

[celest hatch]

There's a really pretty area for your HUB, imo. By this waterfall that goes off the edge of the map near a pure caterium node.

[undone peak]

What map?

[celest hatch]

But you'll want to probably have your base-part storage and dimensional uploaders not anywhere near it.

[steep trench]

With hypertubes, it doesn't matter much where your base is.

[celest hatch]

Right. so put the HUB somewhere pretty!

[undone peak]

Wild you say that area is very good base and factory area?

[primal obsidian]

||its all the same map||

[dense violet]

why is that an issue? build foundations and make a flat spot

[undone peak]

Ok

[dense violet]

need more space? build another floor

[celest hatch]

Not a starting location

[steep trench]

random ores coming in 3... 2...

[undone peak]

I’m phase 2

[celest hatch]

Then I wouldn't bother.

[undone peak]

Damn

Well ima explore and find a place to make the factory grow

[celest hatch]

If you're in the dune desert,....or honestly any bumpy area, go ahead and foundation it up. Once you have enough concrete.

[steep trench]

ya it's really worth overproducing concrete

[ripe iris]

.. And purchase the concrete foundation in the ficsit shop... So you don't need plates for foundations.

[celest hatch]

I don't think you get A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Sink + Shop until Phase 4.

[tall lantern]

lol no, you get them hella early

definitely phase 1

[mortal ginkgo]

I got interesting news for you.

[celest hatch]

Oh, right, end of phase 2 (so technically as soon as you can assemble the parts)

just be careful of the power draw early game

[tall lantern]

phase 1 (tier 2)

[celest hatch]

Phases, Tiers!

[mortal ginkgo]

Milestones.

[celest hatch]

Actionable Objectives 🧑🏼‍💼

[tall lantern]

each phase is two tiers long, and separated by sending a sacrifice in the spelevator

(but tier 0 is the onboarding before the main tier system starts)

[grizzled jolt]

Horrifying but I'm making stuff by hand rn

This truly was a make hundreds of rotors by hand

And then hundreds of stators by hand

Motors are automated though

Once I have monorail I swear I'll fix the factory forever

[jagged nymph]

is using the maximum flowrate of a pipe really just a pipe dream? (pun intended)

does a loop actually allow for max flowrate or does it just help with getting more flowrate

[rough shore]

guys guys guys

i have a major problem

[jagged nymph]

what is it

[rough shore]

broooooo let me type

[jagged nymph]

nobody isnt letting you type

[rough shore]

nah its just i gotta reply yk

[jagged nymph]

continue, what is your issue

[rough shore]

ok so like im currently using 1020.1 MW but my max consumption is 1079.9 and my consumption sometimes dips to 990.2 and idk why

and idk what are the machines that arent being used cuz i searched everywhere

[jagged nymph]

awesome sink

[celest hatch]

You have machines that aren't operating at 100% throughput of their set clockrate.

[jagged nymph]

you have an awesome sink somewhere that is turning off and on

[jagged nymph]

specifically an awesome sink is causing the dip to 990.2

[rough shore]

ok yeah i was about to say 1 awesome sink isnt being used so it should be 1050.1 but still

[jagged nymph]

the dop from 1020.1 to 990.2 is an awesome sink turning on and off, not sure about the otther ~50 youre missing. But its not a big deal unless you just want to have a perfectly flat power grid which is just a pipe dream

[celest hatch]

Awesome Sink is 30MW. So it is probably more than just the sink, maybe more than one, but also maybe a gap in logistics or other machines rates

oh 1079 is max though?

[rough shore]

yes

[celest hatch]

so you have a few things not sinked then?

[rough shore]

not from what im seeing

[jagged nymph]

at idle its 0.1 and when sinking its 30, so that would explain 990.2->1020.1 (i spent like 3 hours diagnosing this same thing on my own save) cause sinks dont always use power. If youre only sinking like 5 items per minute the sink will be turned on and off

[rough shore]

also a sink uses 30 no?

[jagged nymph]

read above message

[rough shore]

ok wait what

[white dawn]

Truck stations and Train stations also don't use full power unless something's actively docking, I believe

[celest hatch]

yea but 1079 is maybe, what, logistics? (vehicle docks)?

[jagged nymph]

i tested it and i think you need like 30 items per minute for a sink to be always on iirc

[rough shore]

i have no vehicles yet

[rough shore]

why

[jagged nymph]

you could load your save into scim and look for a machine around your map

[jagged nymph]

i mean it makes sense that the sink only uses power when sinking

[celest hatch]

because FICSIT does not waste.

[jagged nymph]

other machines only use power when operating too

[rough shore]

but it uses 0.1 at idle so like why and also thought it uses 30 even when not sinking

gotta fix sinks ig cuz yeah

[jagged nymph]

cause you can still see some motion on the idle one, its still running just on a really low power mode. When sopmething goes in it turns on for a few seconds using full power

and if you sink stuff fast enough that its still on by the time the next item goes in it stays on 24/7

[rough shore]

thanks mr A350 and mr Sylvie v2 and discord and 👍

[placid totem]

man ive spent like 8 hours trying to get even flow to all my coal generators and honestly i think im going insane

[jagged nymph]

make a post in #1038092680493801533 rq i can help you

dont wanna clog up general

[rough shore]

manifold fr

[grizzled jolt]

Pioneer is an absolute beast

Making eleven thousand screws by hand

[celest hatch]

How many water lines are you using? Max flow is 300, 8 coal gens (120 coal/min) = 360 water. You will need to split up the water, if you haven't already.

[jagged nymph]

doesnt really work when you need more water than one pipe can hold

[rough shore]

oh i forgot about water part i was talking coal when i heard coal generator

[placid totem]

3/8 common ratio

[rough shore]

yeah

[celest hatch]

Water turns and laughs.

[rough shore]

guys its simple water cant be that hard

[jagged nymph]

are you trying to merge all the water onto one pipe

and then feeding that pipe into all 8 gens

[placid totem]

i was, then i tried 2 then 3 then a sky scraper with a fluid buffer on top, its rough

[celest hatch]

I only said 8 cause it's 120/min coal - either a pure coal node, 2 normal, or 1 MK2 miner. So it's a typically config.

[jagged nymph]

thats your issue, fluid buffers ruin flow

dont ever use fluid buffers except for after a fluid train station as a buffer

but that will b e in a while for you

[celest hatch]

Water Towers are fine if configured correctly, but you probably don't need it unless you have a lot of verticality.

[jagged nymph]

but you arent supposed to have a buffer on top

[celest hatch]

What do you mean by "top"? like a tower?

[jagged nymph]

@placid totem make a post in #1038092680493801533 with screnshots of your setup

[celest hatch]

Did you check headlift (pumps)?

[ornate frost]

you can underclock the water pumps so that you have a 1:2 ratio

makes it a lot cleaner

[jagged nymph]

not really

[celest hatch]

You can even have an underclocked water pump for each generator if you want.

[jagged nymph]

!wikisearch cg

[raven axle]

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

[celest hatch]

Unclocking saves power

[jagged nymph]

these layouts are really easy

[jagged nymph]

but youre using more pumps so its the same amount total

1 * 3 = 3
.75 * 4 = 3

[celest hatch]

can someone hint to me where I can find SAM ore around either the Dune desert or the four oil deposits (2 norm + 2 impure) directly south? I'd look it up again but i just want a hint.

[jagged nymph]

nvm you said you want a hint

[jagged nymph]

by 4 oil deposits do you mean the ones on the west of the map

[rough shore]

just put 3 water extractors and 8 coal generators fr

[celest hatch]

#screenshots

[grizzled jolt]

Grid's on life support. I think this is a sign to make 40 more coal generators

Wait. What if I just stack them?

[feral jay]

Look up top

[jagged nymph]

||theres one in a northern cave||

[grizzled jolt]

They always put them in wacky areas

[jagged nymph]

except the crater lakes one lol

[feral jay]

Well that one arrived by meteor

[jagged nymph]

sam is not from massage confirmed??

🤔 🤔 🤔

[grizzled jolt]

I don't really have a reason to use Sam yet

[jagged nymph]

dimensional depot

[feral jay]

lol the game doesn't have enough actual plot to know one way or the other

[grizzled jolt]

Uhhh what

[jagged nymph]

yeah we kinda just have little snippets

[jagged nymph]

you dont know what the depot is????????????????????????????????????

[grizzled jolt]

I got somersloop upgrades I'm not sure what the depot is

[grizzled jolt]

I think I unlocked it?

[jagged nymph]

the most gamechanging thing youll unlock

[feral jay]

Dude it changes everything

[grizzled jolt]

Oh

Maybe I should build it then

What's it do

[feral jay]

!wikisearch dimensional depot

[raven axle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=dimensional+depot

[feral jay]

heh that doesn't do it justice

[jagged nymph]

when an item goes into a depot, it uploads it to "the cloud" and you can download stuff from this cloud into your inventory. Basically after all your storgae containers fro your items, add one of them and it essentially teleports stuff to you when you need it

[feral jay]

Yeah that's the best way to put it, cloud storage for your shit

[jagged nymph]

your build gun automatically uses stuff from there first before your inventory too so you dont need to keep alot of stuff in your inventory

and you can get an upgrade for it that lets you upload stuff into the cloud from your inventory so when your exploring you can just pop in your spheres, hard drives, slugs, etc so you dont have to keep em on you

[feral jay]

I set it use from inventory first anyway because otherwise my inventory gets filled with everything I've deconstructed

[grizzled jolt]

Oh wow

[celest hatch]

You'll probably still want to grab concrete and plates, and if building rails, beams and pipes.

[grizzled jolt]

Guess I better put like fifty mercer spheres to use

[feral jay]

Essentially, a LOT less running back to base to fetch building mats

[jagged nymph]

i think you need around 100 spheres total to fully upgrade the dimensional depot, and another one sphere per depot. Keep in mind when you unlock an upgrade, all the depots you already have automatically get the upgrade.

there are 2 upgrade lines. The first one upgrades the speed, from 15/minute up to 240/minute

the other one is stack size. It goes from holding one stack of each item, to five stacks of each item

you can get both upgrades

[feral jay]

But upgrading the depot is cheating

[jagged nymph]

also you can just split something into multiple depots if you want more speed than 240. This does not increase how many stacks you can have though

[jagged nymph]

😭

[feral jay]

If we don't get sharks with fricken laser beams with 1.2, Ima demand a refund

[undone ether]

I FINALLY REACHED TIER 9!

[feral jay]

Now you can start the game, the tutorial is over

[undone ether]

honestly phase project assembly finishing is like

hard dude

[placid totem]

boys i figured it out, im so glad my brain isnt completely fried after hours and hours of trying different stuff

[wise junco]

what did ya figure out?

[placid totem]

how to make even flow to my coal gens

water flow

[wise junco]

good job

figuring that out will help you a lot later

[celest hatch]

Just got Cluster Nobelisks and Explosive Rebar in my 1.2 prep save... Xenos shall perish.

[jagged nymph]

is max flow really just a pipe dream

[wise junco]

naw

[jagged nymph]

even with loops?

ive never been able to get it to work properly

[grizzled jolt]

I completely forgot I had automated rotors

I check a random box and there's three thousand rotors

I spent (left my computer on) the last fourth minutes making rotors by hand

Welp. At least the stators are "automated"

[wise junco]

ooooops

[feral jay]

I use 600/min pipes everywhere, but I'm a masochist

[grizzled jolt]

On the upside, think of all the motors I could make

[wise junco]

oh, you'll for sure need 'em

[grizzled jolt]

I should really make an overflow bin

[jagged nymph]

scrolling through the steam store rn to find a game to play cause nothing sounds fun

[grizzled jolt]

I have like 10000 iron rods

[jagged nymph]

just automate the motors

[jagged nymph]

youll need to anyway

[grizzled jolt]

Working on it

What do monorails need?

[sweet bane]

which recipe should i choose for just starting fuel, turbo heavy fuel or diluted packaged fuel?

[wise junco]

if you're just starting out, diluted packaged can be mega helpful

[jagged nymph]

well those make 2 completely seperate things

[mighty zinc]

No matter what I do my factory is in the black. power source is stable at 2 coal power generators and nothing

[jagged nymph]

shapez 2 is 30 dollars???

i thought it was like 10

[ornate saffron]

$10 for the first game

[native stream]

how effective is uranium for farming points?

[tame jacinth]

negligbly

[dense violet]

the ore? not much

!wikisearch awesome_sink

[raven axle]

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

[dense violet]

there should be a points list on that page

it's the processing of each step that gives you the points

[warm finch]

Turbo motor sink points go brrrrr

[feral jay]

I usually set up a uranium ore sink very early game, it's actually not that bad in te early game but it loses relevance quickly

[celest hatch]

how much of the water on the very north very east part of the map is actually usable, anyway? #screenshots

[native stream]

wdym

[dense violet]

the world border on SCIM isn't a bad rule of thumb for where fake water starts, you prob want to double check personally if it's important

[tame jacinth]

you can get a lot of water from there

[warm finch]

caterium quick wire works well for early point sinking.

[tame jacinth]

wouldnt know how much specifically but its a fair bit

[feral jay]

In my experience I do get some quick sink points from it. It's a bit of a boost, but before long it's such a small number of points it doesn't matter, and then gets dwarfed by other things you sink.

[celest hatch]

Portable Miners work nicely for early early game sinking.

[feral jay]

It's an easy 4200 points a minute, and you can usually find one uranium node near enough to where you start

[native stream]

im about to finish up on phase 2 tho

[warm finch]

still early game, and quickwire is easy to mass produce into sink and forget it until you need it

[ornate saffron]

the best way to get consistent points is to keep crafting phase parts. instead of throwing all the parts for Versatile frames iinto storage containers then assembling. actually make the setup then once you have what you need for the phase sink the output. do this for all phase items and you build a steady growing point base

[abstract heron]

who is excited for 1.2 TMR

[feral jay]

Concrete is also great to sink for early game points

[ornate saffron]

u

[feral jay]

I want sharks with laser beams

[native stream]

the only thing i need is automated wiring

[abstract heron]

i am restarting my world due to mods will break for 1.2 until modding team does there fix for a bit

[native stream]

but i can either split my miners into another floor where my current foundry is

[abstract heron]

but i am keeping my MAIN world

[native stream]

or i setup the new one

[warm finch]

only 1.2 for experimental is coming out tomorrow.

[ornate saffron]

then next phase youll need more ^_^

[feral jay]

THis is why I only use vanilla-friendly mods, I can play the game without mods, but some things are just frustrating

[native stream]

that doesn’t fill me with confidence

lmao

[abstract heron]

ik thats why i am restarting MODS are already bla due to engine update with mods

[wise junco]

always set up new, expand, whenever possible

[warm finch]

don't treat each phase as if it's end game. each milestone, tier, and phase are lessons to learn with tier 9 being where you put everything together

[wise junco]

I'm setting up a 50/min automated wiring factory rn as an intermediate step

[warm finch]

always produce more of what you need of something and sink the rest until you need it

[ornate saffron]

you got this ^_^

but phase parts are worth the most. so building independant factories is a great way to get points

[abstract heron]

i am still going to have my 5,037hr world

[native stream]

im about to finish stage 2, but my factories are dotted around

[past sluice]

Anyone have thoughts on creating an overflow for sinking stuff with a storage container? Like concrete was just mentioned, so maybe a smart splitter that winds back into the entry point of the storage container with a branch off into the sink to ensure the container is always full?

[wise junco]

just smart split before the container

[native stream]

like i have one for the plating and one other requirement on stage 2, leaving wiring to do

[ornate saffron]

smart split b4 container, Any to container overflow to sink

[idle perch]

yo somebody know why i cant explode the rocks with the basic nobelisk?

[warm finch]

only some rocks, you can explode

[wise junco]

bonus points if you put a DD on top of that storage container

[knotty bear]

I just dissasembled a storage thing with 17 Ficsit tickets in it where did they go please help

[feral jay]

Because terraforming is not a thing in this game.

Only some smaller rocks can be kersploded, and rocks with cracks in them.

[ornate saffron]

in your invenetory

[knotty bear]

No

[feral jay]

Is your inventory full?

[ornate saffron]

if you inventory was fuill they would have gone to a dismantle crate.

[knotty bear]

I don't see the crate nearby

[native stream]

im at stage 2, but my factories are everywhere. one is doing iron production, concrete production and copper production, i got steel works in another location, gens in another.

do you recommend i start to invest in hyper tube systems and make a storage unit for all of this?

[warm finch]

it'll go to the closest dismantle crate on the map

[feral jay]

There's a known bug where the game will use faraway crates

[ornate saffron]

look at the compas at teh top of the screen for crates. Sometimes itll merge with a existing crate far away

[warm finch]

hypertube won't help move stuff around automatically. as others have stated, get smart splitters and set it up before an industrial storage container (ISC). when they fill up, then the smart splitter will overflow production into sink automatically for you. do it for steel, concrete, etc

[knotty bear]

#screenshots message

[warm finch]

have fun collecting all those dismantle crates

[wise junco]

yeah they're in one of them for sure

[woeful sinew]

anyone got any color combination recs for my factories?

[ornate saffron]

time to clean up

[celest hatch]

load it in SCIM, select all the dismantle crates (AND only the dismantle crates), and dismantle them selecting "I would like a doggy bag with my items" to consolidate them.

[idle perch]

sad, the rocks is literally in the floor where iwant to do my base, i think iwill do a floating base

ty anyways

[native stream]

is this going to be for each individual item? for example steelworks include the pipes and metal beams, or do i just produce the items to produce for that phase and sink it?

[ornate saffron]

I have s resource can i dm it >?

[native stream]

hyper tube will only be used for ease of access. i’ve spread the facilities out, but takes time running to and fro

[woeful sinew]

yes please

[warm finch]

that is up to you

[native stream]

alright, thanks

do you recommend a central storage?

or just storage for each facility

[celest hatch]

I recommend cloud storage.

[native stream]

i don’t have enough spheres for that…

like i can place those down

but not many

[wise junco]

not being sarcastic, highly recommend seeking out the spheres to make your dimensional depots work for you

[celest hatch]

Upload some stuff manually. And go find more!

[ornate saffron]

central "mall" storage can be fun to make. It is not efficent. But youd learn a lot making it

[celest hatch]

or manually deconstruct and reconstruct different storage containers into the same depot.

well...belts

Yeah, malls are still cool. Not as needed, but cool. Bonus points if your mall also uploads to the cloud.

[native stream]

hm… i see

[ornate saffron]

to be fair i had to go get a train load of steel beams to make this. Depots were not going to cut it #design-and-architecture message\

[native stream]

it’s either that, or i place containers down and leave it per facility and run tubes to get the exact thing i need

i’ll need to think about that

[woeful sinew]

how does one set up trains

[frosty sedge]

How many stops u want

[ornate saffron]

from a efficiency standpoint your time is better spent collecting the 298 spheres then build lots of depot. (you need 150 anyways for the achievment)

[woeful sinew]

2 for now

[native stream]

im sat at what, 20 - 30?

[wise junco]

impressive curvature!

[native stream]

i think?

[frosty sedge]

Trains are easy but u gotta make them the correct way if that makes sense

[ornate saffron]

But as i said earlier. there is more to the game then efficiency

like....fun lol

[native stream]

true

[wise junco]

for what it's worth, i like to "set and forget" with factories. get it running, upload to DD and/or train station, never go back

[frosty sedge]

U want a literal instruction guide or like where u can learn type of thing

[woeful sinew]

where i can learn

[frosty sedge]

Yt there's exlipse I think his name is he's a genius generally look at satisfactory YouTubers they have all the information u could dream of about a lot more than trains

[woeful sinew]

thanks

[frosty sedge]

Sry it's totalxclipse

[ornate saffron]

totalxclipse

[native stream]

im kind of diff because i always am running between my factories, depending on supplies. i haven’t upgraded the sphere containers, so storage is… questionable.

one thing i havent tried are the jump pads…

that i do want to see

[woeful sinew]

time to go set up heavy mod frames 😭

[wise junco]

once you set up DD's, it's like the jump from biomass to coal. you are just like... oh. what do i wanna do now?

[feral jay]

Those are a pretty big undertaking when the time comes. Go big with them, like, don't do less than 20/min or so

[native stream]

speaking of that… i need to upgrade my coal gens

[woeful sinew]

oh snap

[primal crypt]

i love HMFs

[undone peak]

Can you still get achievements while playing on peaceful

[wise junco]

just recently finished my HMF&FMF factory for this playthrough

[feral jay]

Yeah you're gonna need an entire factory campus usually. I have dedicated subfactories just for the ingots

[jagged nymph]

yes

the only way to not get achievments is to turn on advanced game setting (creative mode essentially)

[woeful sinew]

is it better to do the normal recipie or heavy incased alternate?

[feral jay]

Different game modes don't affect achievements

[jagged nymph]

even with mods you still get achievnments

[feral jay]

I almost always use heavy encased frames

[jagged nymph]

thats your own decision, but i like encased

[native stream]

console players felt that

[celest hatch]

if "the server will restart in 60min" in singleplayer, can I just save then immediately load, or do I have to go to the title screen and/or exit and restart?

[jagged nymph]

just turn off periodic restarts

[frosty sedge]

Don't point it out it's painful enough

[celest hatch]

00:00 = no restart?

[jagged nymph]

idk i just remember you can do it somewhere in settings

cause i did it on my server before

[feral jay]

I have an aluminium scrap plant that's losing 1 scrap/min or so out of 4500, and that's actually bothering me

[woeful sinew]

in the satisfactory calculator how do i add alternate recipies for the req items

[ornate saffron]

A stuttering merger somewhere causing a backup maybe?

[jagged nymph]

wdym, like its making 4499?

[jagged nymph]

click recipes and enable them

[feral jay]

It'll be pretty hard to pin down, it's 4500/min scrap feeding a 2250/min ingot plant, with a 5→4 belt balancer in between them, so it could be the balancer, it could be the piping, it could be anything at this point

[chrome wasp]

!lizarddoggo

[feral jay]

But I have a machine here that's occasionally dipping below 100% uptime, and that's unacceptable in my world

[celest hatch]

probably a belt limitation not accounted for somewhere?

[celest hatch]

You may also want to disable some of the default recipes in the options, particularly for oil products.

[ornate saffron]

My money is on a merger stutter.

You seem to have your pipes down and merger stutters are hard to predict sometimes

[woeful sinew]

this network graph is looking like death 20pm is getting me scared

[feral jay]

I doubt it's a merger stutter, all the belts on this balancer are below max capacity and that's the only time I ever see merger stutters

[feral jay]

#screenshots message

[ornate saffron]

Thats a fair assessment then.

So that one possibility down. Work on the next ^-^

[celest hatch]

Could be a pipe you have capped out at 600/min sloshing.

[feral jay]

That's my thinking right now, it's a 600/min water supply

[celest hatch]

headlift somewhere?

[feral jay]

But all the refineries are at 100% right now, so, again, hard to pin down

Nah not headlift

Give me some credit

[robust wigeon]

oh, apparently ADA vocally disapproves of you for killing Beans and Lizard Doggos now

neat

[woeful sinew]

wheres an optimal location to build the heavy modular frames

[wise junco]

just did mine in the northeast desert, really happy with it

tons of iron, enough limestone

[robust wigeon]

anywhere, if you're willing to run really long conveyor belts

[feral jay]

I did mine in the grasslands this save

[woeful sinew]

ive been meaning to do smth in the desert

[wise junco]

#screenshots message

[celest hatch]

Wish there was a quicksave option

[feral jay]

I pretty much took over the southern grasslands just for heavy frames and AI limiter production

[celest hatch]

Dun even need a quickload necessarily, just a instant " I want to save now "

[wise junco]

#screenshots message little brighter

[ornate saffron]

Figure out what resources you need. Then build near those resources ^-^

[feral jay]

Yeah I want either a quicksave or a pause option because in the real world, shit happens when you're in the middle of a battle, and you need to walk away from the game

[celest hatch]

There was a movie about that.

He had like a TV remote but it affected reality with like instant replay.

[feral jay]

And it's a single player game. There is zero justifiable reason to not include a pause function IMO.

[warm finch]

esc

[celest hatch]

Ohhh, you weren't being sarcastic. Pause could be problematic for multiplayer, and I think technically there's a console command for it.

[feral jay]

Doesn't pause the game

[celest hatch]

Build an explorer. Jump in the explorer.

[warm finch]

but do you need to know that? lol

[feral jay]

A pot just boiled over and I need to attend to it before it catches fire, there isn't time.

Or the phone rang

[wise junco]

or both

[celest hatch]

Add the mod that lets the player transform into an explorer with a single button press.

[wise junco]

at the same time

[feral jay]

I installed Just Pause and that works well, so, meh

#screenshots message

[celest hatch]

This is my second 1.0+ playthrough and I found a SAM Node before an ore pile. wow

[feral jay]

Sure it could be problematic in multiplayer. But Unreal Tournament solved that 25 years ago.

[celest hatch]

or did they get rid of most of the ore piles?

[feral jay]

You make it an option players agree to before the game

[celest hatch]

So did most strategy games honestly. Or at least the ones that take longer.

[jagged nymph]

should i get dyson sphere program

[feral jay]

Plus, it's not really a concern in a co-op game, at least as far as cheating is concerned

Either way, just give players the ability to enable or disable the pause function

Oops, I forgot that even unpowered pumps reset headlift

[jagged nymph]

i cant find any games that sound fun rn tbh

[unkempt blade]

I've heard good things about solitaire. The graphics are supposed to be peak when you win

[mighty zinc]

ooooh

[feral jay]

I recommend Worms:Armageddon. It's a fun distraction game.

[mighty zinc]

my two coal powered generators doesn't have enough to power all of my stuff.

that's why I keep losing power

[feral jay]

So build a few hundred fuel generators, easy peasy!

[undone peak]

5 hours into satisfactory I have iron farm making alot of irons and auto smelting and auto making it Into everything I need
Same with copper and limestone

Rate the progression and I’m starting to expand expand expand expand

[unkempt blade]

perfect score if you've unlocked factory carts otherwise 2/10

[undone peak]

No factory carts

I’m slowly starting to expand yk?

[native tapir]

You are going to want to unlock those asap

key part of the game imo

[feral jay]

Heh I never use them

[warm finch]

nein. they're not using/making screws so it's a 1/10 from me

[feral jay]

I set up a truck route once with them, years ago, just to say I did

[unkempt blade]

I figured that was part of the iron but if that's not the case I support your adjusted rating

[warm finch]

they didn't mention screws specifically so I assume nothing

[unkempt blade]

you're amazing and talented and I believe in you even if you haven't unlocked carts yet

[plush trellis]

My train tracks are funky

[undone peak]

I have the space tower unlocked the science research thing the work bench and I’m mass producing stuff I need

[native tapir]

You'll get the carts soon then

[undone peak]

This game is a 10/10 even if it makes my pc fans spin like jet engines

[native tapir]

I mean......

It's okay

[unkempt blade]

it's certainly no minesweeper though

[celest hatch]

Put headphones on

[undone peak]

I am

[unkempt blade]

easy, just take the fans out

[undone peak]

Nah ima dunk it in water should help it cool down

[feral jay]

I just pee on my PC. It cools down a fire, ergo it will cool down my PC.

[unkempt blade]

it's also safe from jellyfish stings which is a nice bonus

[celest hatch]

Is there a floor limit on elevators, besides a practical one and/or the skybox?

[ornate saffron]

Not really. You can clip them through the map too. They work but your player model won't clip through.

[long sequoia]

Satisfactory really nails the leap humanity made with Nuclear Energy in the game. The first time I got to Nuclear Energy I was like: "I'm gonna make 6 nuclear reactors, each one with 3 power shards!!!!" and then when I put then all online... I noticed that one was enough for my whole factory...

[undone ether]

man i wanna go back to phase 1 when i only needed to make screws, but now i have superposition oscillators

i really dont feel good

ive been playing too long

[warm finch]

until.........

[hidden spruce]

what time 1.2 tomorrow?

[warm finch]

you need more. power lol

[long sequoia]

Well, I was in the Early Access and I had just got to nuclear energy hahahaha

And anyway... I had 6 reactors built

[warm finch]

oh boy... yeah you need A LOT of power for phase 5

[undone ether]

i have 145,000 mw and its not enough for the quantum encoders and i genuinely started crying out of sadness

[ornate saffron]

#dev-streams info there in your time

[jagged nymph]

i think around 5tw is enough

maybe

[undone ether]

no

you need more

[jagged nymph]

around 12 hours until 1.2 exppppppp

[undone ether]

WAIT REALLY?

yay

[feral jay]

When 1.0?

[long sequoia]

I finally decided to really finish the 1.0 update. I'm enjoying it a lot. It's funny when you finally get to a tier that unlocks something really important like trains and you are like "FUCKING FINALLY!!!!!!"

[undone ether]

like -6.3 years ago

[jagged nymph]

1.5*

satisfactory released about 1.5 years ago

[undone ether]

i think ive been playing for so long im having brain bleeding as my skull turns to dissolved silica

[long sequoia]

I think you mean "It's gonna be here in -1.5 years"

[undone ether]

i wanna cry for how hard phase 5 is

[long sequoia]

If it's -time and you say "ago" it's in the future

[undone ether]

is 1200 ficsite trigons p/m enough

[jagged nymph]

only you can answer that

[undone ether]

i cant

[jagged nymph]

well we dont know how many you need

[undone ether]

idk either

[jagged nymph]

for some people 100 may be enough, some people may beed 2000

[undone ether]

i have 150,000 somer sloops (SCIM is my sunshine)

[jagged nymph]

THAST CHEATING

[woeful sinew]

can you physically make them later on?

[jagged nymph]

somersloops? no theyre limited to i think 105

and mercer sphers are around 300

[long sequoia]

Why the fuck does the parachute give longer range but the jetpack doesn't?

The hover pack gives you a longer interact range

The parachute gives you the same longer interact range

But for some reason the jetpack doesn't

[bleak valley]

How many spheres does it take to max out the mam

[undone peak]

Playing satisfactory makes me feel smart

[jagged nymph]

around 100

[bleak valley]

So you can get 200 depots nice

[celest hatch]

I think it's more like 50 depots?

[undone peak]

Do you also feel smart

And I came back after afk for a hour with a lot of biomass fuel and I have 7000 wire

[long sequoia]

I see Satisfactory as a comfy game. People watching me play seem to think otherwise

Like, if I'm able to play on basically autopilot and I can talk to people while I play... It's a comfy game for me

I'm used to playing competitive games that I need to focus completely

But Satisfactory I can chat while playing

[undone peak]

What jobs do you all want to have when me personally I want to live inside of satisfactory

[undone peak]

It’s so fun

[celest hatch]

You run me resources when I run out

Maybe secondarily certified Xeno-Purge specialist.

[vital quest]

Power junctions connect a water extractor to each other right?

I mean pipeline

[jagged igloo]

I’m new to this game and I have no idea if I’m doing good or not

[ornate frost]

is the factory making what you want it to?

[jagged igloo]

Ya

[ornate frost]

then you are on track :D

[vital quest]

Help

[jagged igloo]

But my experienced friend said it looked bad :<

[ornate frost]

looks are subjective

[vital quest]

Do pipeline pumps just boost water flow or no?

[celest hatch]

Headlift.

[vital quest]

Ok thanks

[celest hatch]

By default, output of machines has 10m headlift. to go higher, you need pumps.

[dense violet]

treat the tiers like a tutorial - everything you do will be bad, you just learn from it

[bleak valley]

If your having fun and it’s working your doing good

Prettiness and maximum efficiency comes with experience

[jagged igloo]

I’m at tier 3 with the next space station level

[dense violet]

build some coal power near a lake 🙂

[jagged nymph]

lowk why does my dad have a remington 870

who tf are you worried about breaking into your house that you need that 🥀

[celest hatch]

#off-topic-general

[orchid pollen]

Where you from? America?

[jagged nymph]

ofc

my dad own over 20 guns

[orchid pollen]

Welp. That explains it.

[jagged nymph]

theres around 900 million civilian owned guns un the world, 500 million of which are in the us

[dry hamlet]

Are there any info about the exp update? Patch notes already? Since it wil come out today

[fossil oyster]

My F5 broke from too much refreshing. I need those patch notes man.

[dense violet]

anything in the channels that have videos and links about the game

[rain maple]

What time will the update come?

[white dawn]

Probably near the end of the dev stream mentioned at #dev-streams message (the times will show in your local timezone, though the word "tomorrow" means "March 17" :)

[rain maple]

Thanks 🫰

[white dawn]

Probably won't have that until the dev stream at the earliest. :)

[cunning glade]

Chat I gotta lock in

[cedar vault]

today was 1.2 experimental?

yeah i think it is

[median terrace]

#dev-streams message - update probably after the stream

[cosmic adder]

When is experimental

So today

[woeful needle]

i'm so excited i wanna play but i wanna wait for update

[jagged nymph]

just start now

[woeful needle]

yea but like fresh update fresh world yk

[west jackal]

dang i posted a ss of my bauxite setup, then looked the person that posted right before me did the same thing, except they are make a lot more alum

im not bringing in quartz limestone or sulfur so my output is diminished.

12300 baux WILL be brought in, but i only have mk2 atm so its half of that

[sharp basin]

14:00 guys

[jagged nymph]

#dev-streams

5 hours til stream

[sharp basin]

All these people should play Satisfactory instead

Sorry about the POLITICS

[jagged nymph]

reminder that this

index[arrayName]

instead of this

arrayName[index]

is valid in c

[sharp basin]

Gonna try RE9 before, then watch the dev stream, then have tons of projects in mind before 1.2 reaches console and quit RE9

[jagged nymph]

re9?

[sharp basin]

Yeah RE Requiem

[jagged nymph]

idk what that is

[sharp basin]

Resident Evil man

[jagged nymph]

oh

ive heard of it but i dont know anything about it

[sharp basin]

Just woke up, it’s 9 am, still Ill, nothing else to do today

[jagged nymph]

sadfghjkl

wait what forza 6 is coming out in may??

[sharp basin]

Still it’s a fact, can’t attack anybody/defend yourself from an attack if you’re building a factory. You could think capitalism is all there is though.

And aliens are real.

[real shale]

Factory

[jagged nymph]

the factory must grow

[frozen hemlock]

Insert akira leave me alone gif

[sharp basin]

You guys 🤣

[lucid swift]

Hi guys, stupid question but how do I back up my saves?

[remote siren]

unfortunately i have to work for money and the fsctory has to wait

[frozen hemlock]

The awesome sink will give you your money, grow the factory

[sharp basin]

That’s very unfortunate

[jagged nymph]

appdata/local/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/the folder with the numbers/ and then copy your save to somewhere else

[lucid swift]

Thank you!

[sharp basin]

Gonna have my coffee

Btw I’d very much like to buy myself that pretty ficsit mug

[frozen hemlock]

Is it normal to be at 200h and still be in tier 6

[jagged nymph]

thats actually alot faster than alot of other people

but the game can be taken at your own paces

should be taken at your own pace

some people complete it in 100 hours, some in 1000

[sharp basin]

300 hrs and tier 5 but I let the game runs by itself a lot

[frozen hemlock]

Ah ok

[remote siren]

%localappdata%/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/
copy paste and brings you right there
the folder with the numbers/ and then copy your save to somewhere else

[jagged nymph]

didnt know about the localappdata variable

[obsidian zodiac]

happy 1.2 exp day everybody

[jagged nymph]

now release 1.3 already >:((((((
-# /j

[obsidian zodiac]

i will cry right now

and i will blame u

[jagged nymph]

good

[timber willow]

Im at 700+ hrs and I got phase 5 done at around 600 area so 200 is decent pace if your doing stuff quickly

[frozen hemlock]

alright

[spice patio]

Jason: Note my question yesterday on experimental about request to Uzu, please.

About the location of save files to back up.

[jagged nymph]

are you missing a gate perhaps?

[real shale]

A350 did you know

1.2 is coming with A350s

[jagged nymph]

🤔

[obsidian zodiac]

could you forward the exact message to me in DMs please? ive been grinding away at the patch notes video and mustve missed it

[jagged nymph]

little over 4 more hours

[proper valley]

I'm sure CM Mikael meant well but this timestamp didn't work out for those of us in the future and using the word "tomorrow". Anyone posted the right timestamp? I assume it's just that +24h otherwise?

[jagged nymph]

worked for me

its in 4 hours 12 minutes from this message accoriding to what i see

[proper valley]

thanks! The timestamp in #dev-streams says 2026年3月16日22:00 (march 16, 10pm japan time) which was yesterday

[tall lantern]

yeah the time is correct, just ignore the date (which only shows if you mouse over it anyway)

it's always Tuesday

or, always the same day as their standard dev stream

[proper valley]

great point yeah, I could have assumed tomorrow from yesterday meant today. But better to just use discord timestamps correctly imo!

I don't normally tune in, just curious to see patch notes for 1.2! 👍

[ivory condor]

Yay🥳

[jagged nymph]

same, especially to see if fluids are better now

[ivory condor]

Fluid trucks for all

[undone wharf]

Oh damn 1.2 today

[reef apex]

I just joined the server to share the hype for 1.2

[proper valley]

very excited for everything... More reasons to use trucks... rain (I hope it's more variations than in update 3 tho)... Random... something haha

[sharp basin]

Aircraft is a GOOD idea man

[real shale]

I don't know

[sharp basin]

Kinda official hypertube canon, but classy

[jagged nymph]

we fr need a drivable drone/plane

you can drive trucks and trains

but not drones

[sharp basin]

Yeah drivable drone is kinda the same

I’d like other vehicle other than the buggy for main roads which seems mainly designed for off roads

[leaden turret]

map isn't big enough

[green fiber]

Teleport is good enough

[leaden turret]

prefer slow hypertube, can take pee break

[iron fractal]

Was the rain functional (like destroyin things) or jus aesthetics? Back when it was implemented?

[green fiber]

Just for the aesthetics

[leaden turret]

just aesthetic

there's no factory maintenance beyond power and logistics

[oblique aspen]

there is no destruction mechanic, maintenance mechanic, or anything of that sort, and likely never will be

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> dismantle nobelisk, when?

[oblique aspen]

if the player triggers it, its just a area dismantle gun 😛

[jagged nymph]

thats what ive been saying

[oblique aspen]

actually that sounds like a hilarious fun way to dismantle a large factory

[jagged nymph]

manually dismantaling even with the multi dismantle just isnt fast enoiugh sometimes

[oblique aspen]

just setup tons of nobelisk and see it disappear

[void gorge]

Boom

[jagged nymph]

thats not a no

[leaden turret]

they've also never said that the lizard doggo has neither a butthole nor a cloaca, so we still gotta ask every now and then

[jagged nymph]

true...

[fluid wharf]

Can't waitttt

[real shale]

There's enough factory maintenance as it is without adding actual factory maintenance

[fluid wharf]

What time does this start? (Not that I'm considering taking a vacation day or anything from work)

[fluid wharf]

So 12pm noon my time?

[tall lantern]

if that's what it says

[leaden turret]

we finally trained the CMs to use discord timestamps so it shows in your local time 😛

[tall lantern]

the times are based on your timezone

[fluid wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-thinking-gif-18107621495886085895

Hmmmm maybe I can do a test run during lunch

[tall lantern]

note that the update won't be pushed until the end of the stream (give or take)

[zealous urchin]

1.2 mentalexp be like #off-topic-media message

[proper valley]

the 18th cries

could be worse. I think I'll stay up for it

[leaden turret]

see also "have patience and wait for steam / epic to propagate the update instead of getting antsy"

will we have to rename the exe this update or? /s

fluid rework + rain returns = full water level simulation right? I may have been playing too much Timberborn..

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> when y'all add mac support, please remember not to ship the mac binary in the windows package

[tall lantern]

fluid rework is entirely a community copium job atm, the only actual fluid thing we've seen so far is fluid trucks

[leaden turret]

T junction

(I didn't see it personally but seen enough people claiming to have seen it)

[tall lantern]

ah yeah same

keep forgetting that

[rugged prawn]

this game fell off

[tall lantern]

but then, also seen plenty of people claiming a fluid rework...

[leaden turret]

fluid reworkers 🫱🫲 flat earthers

[jagged nymph]

isnt all weve heard about that "we fixed fluids.... kinda"

[proper valley]

I personally find fluid one of the more interesting brainbusters in the game, I always enjoy reviewing the pdf (you know the one). But I guess you're right, double checking the wiki:

Additionally, fluid mechanics might change due to fix to some issues related to fluid fluctuations that are designed in the game

[leaden turret]

I wouldn't be surprised if there were an AGS to just turn off the fluid simulation and switch to a simplified model

[proper valley]

Factorio turning pipes into wires was a little sad (I get it, they explained why, I can definitely adapt), but I can for sure imagine some would rather have it that way

[obsidian zodiac]

the only thing were adding in 1.2 is a sabrina carpenter skin

[proper valley]

for 1.2 I certainly hope the mechanics and qol around trucks got more love than fluids, personally

[leaden turret]

and the Jason mesh as male character model

[jagged nymph]

its a 60 dollar dlc too right?

[obsidian zodiac]

no boys allowed!!

[obsidian zodiac]

1600 microsoft point card mailed directly to me

[leaden turret]

Jason mesh with boobs, confirmed

[jagged nymph]

DEAL

i just ate 4 grilled cheese sandwiches

[obsidian zodiac]

ah, the midnight call

[jagged nymph]

yep

[shadow bolt]

whens the update, do we have a countdown?

[obsidian zodiac]

4PM UTC!

[shadow bolt]

ty sir!

[jagged nymph]

nice 4 hours

thats 4 hours right?

[median terrace]

#dev-streams message

[proper valley]

<t:1773763200:R> i think

[tall lantern]

closer to 6 yeah

[jagged nymph]

oh yeah u right

[proper valley]

<t:1773763200:R> for anyone wanting to copy

[shadow bolt]

i appreciate it, ty :D

[proper valley]

any chance we could get the patch notes before to keep the saliva production ramping? :cute praying face:

[obsidian zodiac]

get a bucket brother

[jagged nymph]

<t:253401676260:R>

[real shale]

hey i might be around for that

[proper valley]

still before star citizen

[cunning glade]

What's this for?

[jagged nymph]

update

[cunning glade]

Hey

[proper valley]

copy that into discord it will be the time patch 1.2 comes to experimental

[cunning glade]

Leave my game alone

[leaden turret]

I thought the buckets were because everyone in sweden was sick with the 1.spew update

[proper valley]

now I'm not sure if the bucket is for all this saliva I'm gonna generate or to avoid having to leave the PC to bio

why not both, I guess

[valid hull]

I'll be traveling and will lose the stream, will we get a patch notes today? Can't wait to see what's new beyond fluid trucks, rain and random nodes

[jagged nymph]

random nodes isnt confirmed

[tall lantern]

heavily hinted, but not confirmed

[valid hull]

It's kinda obvious it is to me, anyways, really hoping for patch notes today

[tall lantern]

don't forget the selfie photo mode

[real shale]

let me take a selfie

[valid hull]

Oh yes, that too

[real shale]

gonna have a pioneer selfie as my phone background

[native tapir]

We finally getting 2/3 length walls in 1.2???

[cunning glade]

It's the legendary Doug

[leaden turret]

I am more in favour of spline walls / foundations

[real shale]

i want circular metal beams

[leaden turret]

looks at braided cables

[real shale]

those are cables and suit a different aesthetic

[green fiber]

We literally have round beams though

[leaden turret]

cc @native tapir

[leaden turret]

-# pipes

[real shale]

concrete beams that cant be painted :p

[green fiber]

Use pipes then lol

[native tapir]

I am actually just a basic Doug. Holographic Doug is a rare pull

[real shale]

pipes are so much largerrrrr

[native tapir]

Pipes are also - and you can quote me on this - dog water.

[real shale]

ehhhh pipes have their usage for aesthetics

[native tapir]

Yeah dog water aesthetics

[real shale]

no i mean actually good aesthetics for certain things

[native tapir]

Alright I'm kidding but the default Ficsit wall is actually my least favorite buildable

[real shale]

#design-and-architecture message

All i want are round metal beams to mimic busbars for this thing

[leaden turret]

-# Limp FICSIT's Lizard Starfish & Hot Doggo-Flavoured Water

[native tapir]

Just clip the regular beams into a circle for now. Would be cool if the round concrete beam was paintable

[real shale]

if round concrete beam was paintable it'd be so nice

[native tapir]

I just heard the guitar kick in Marv

[jagged nymph]

#dev-streams

[native tapir]

Oh wow I wonder what they'll be talking about on stream today besides 1.2

I bet it's something cool

[cunning glade]

Lol

[real shale]

What about full art doug

[cunning glade]

Dlc one could pray for

[real shale]

the update is DLC :P just free

and permanent

[cunning glade]

Only thing that makes factorio better is there's a dlc too so more content tho u could argue satisfactory has more too cuz it takes longer tbh

[reef basin]

longer is not better

[native tapir]

Lol

[real shale]

Satisfactory and Factorio cater to different audiences

[native tapir]

Phrasing

[cunning glade]

Id argue it can be factorio is too short it my complaint

[jagged nymph]

if i sell you a burger for 10 dollars, and someone else sells half a burger for 10 dollars and charges 10 dollars for the other half, does the second one have more burger?

[reef basin]

it's not tho?

[jagged nymph]

i havnt played factorio

[cunning glade]

Factorio is like 40 maybe 50 hours

[real shale]

i would ask what size are these burgers to begin with before you cut them?

[cunning glade]

Meanwhile at 200 and still at p4

[jagged nymph]

same burger

[real shale]

okay, and what ingredients for these burgers

[native tapir]

They mean it's too short in the vertical dimension

[real shale]

lots of unknown variables here

[jagged nymph]

exactly the same

[reef basin]

that assumes you stop at beating the game

[cunning glade]

No I'm still working towards that

[leaden turret]

[real shale]

and what about the experience of the chefs that cooked them

[jagged nymph]

same chef.

[native tapir]

I agree though. Factorio is too short. If it was taller in the third dimension I would give it a go. But they literally just wanna give me length x width and call it a day.

[real shale]

okay then how could it be someone else

checkmate

[jagged nymph]

because the chef gives the burgers to both sellers

[cunning glade]

I love both

[reef basin]

factorio has more content after beating the game

[cunning glade]

Well I mean yeah I could sit there and endlessly grow the factory but why

[reef basin]

not just that

[real shale]

I could never get into factorio despite how much my friends want to force me into it

[cunning glade]

Then wym? As I'm confused

[native tapir]

You might be onto something

[reef basin]

there's many researches locked behind space science

[cunning glade]

In base game no?

[reef basin]

spidertron e.g.

[cunning glade]

There's like 4? Inf researches behind space science

[leaden turret]

@obsidian zodiac can you rap?

[cunning glade]

But I got spidertron way before space

[real shale]

MC Pioneer in da house

[cunning glade]

This is assuming base game

[obsidian zodiac]

absolutely not

[hard ivy]

spidertron is not locked behind space science in base factorio

[native tapir]

He's just being humble

[cunning glade]

U should give us HDR next update 🫣

[scenic mirage]

Is experimental out? Just woke up

[leaden turret]

Can anyone at CSS rap?

[obsidian zodiac]

mikael

[cunning glade]

No not till like 4est I think

[real shale]

back to sleep for another 6 hours

[native tapir]

Mikael can

[scenic mirage]

I'm in denmark what time is that

[real shale]

4 est? CSS must be working overtime for this, respect

[leaden turret]

@void gorge Jason just volunteered you to record a Limp FICSIT album

[cunning glade]

No clue that's just my timezone I'm pretty sure

[obsidian zodiac]

if i give you HDR will you make one of those videos where you compare visuals like "HDR ON: HDR OFF:" and its just a contrasted image vs a desaturated one

[obsidian zodiac]

4PM UTC!

[leaden turret]

oh speaking of graphics on / graphics off, have y'all recoiled in horror at DLSS 5 yet?

[hard ivy]

4? Y'all are +1 rn?

[obsidian zodiac]

im rendering the patch notes video rn

[cunning glade]

I mean I can but I'll just be happy with my LG g5 this is why I want proper HDR so y'all can make it good

[native tapir]

I actually think Mikael would be good for the background adlibs. He says "Nah" a lot during stream.

But I would also enjoy hearing him say:

limp Ficsit!!!
CSS 4 LYFE
Final Fantasy Gang Gang Gang

[cunning glade]

So we don't need no renodx mod

[scenic mirage]

What typa pc or server do yall do that on

[cunning glade]

Peak mods tho love there stuff

[obsidian zodiac]

well theres no plans for HDR but we can certainly talk about it with the art team. ill make a note

[cunning glade]

Wish it wasn't as needed

[cunning glade]

Peak ty especially with console release I think it's peak

[obsidian zodiac]

i just use my work PC but linus told me we have a render computer if we need it

[real shale]

render computer? ram.....they have ram....

[native tapir]

Jason when are you gonna lead a stream

[obsidian zodiac]

i mean no we use cloud ram haha! no ram here 🙂

[jagged nymph]

G̸͛̂̔̄I̷͌̏͛͘M̵̈́̄̾͝M̷̛̐̀̈́Ė̶̽́̀ ̸̍̊̌͝THE ̊̓R̴͑̎͗̐A̸̒̈́̅͠M̵̐̌͘͠

[native tapir]

I think you could usurp him

[leaden turret]

🐏

[cunning glade]

I actually need too hop on and start my aluminum factory and like actually start it

[real shale]

CONSUME

[obsidian zodiac]

i am a sous chef you do not want me leading a stream. this is how we end up doing buzzfeed quizzes together

[cunning glade]

I'm excited too upgrade my ram tho still unsure if I want 48bg or 64gb

[real shale]

Lmao, "which satisfactory fluid are you based on your personality"

[jagged nymph]

48 biga gytes

[cunning glade]

My main thought process is 48gb overclocks better

[scenic mirage]

I throw my computer on the cloud for them 🥱

[native tapir]

Okay so we have a pro list going. Give me the cons

I vote usurp

[real shale]

your main thought process should be "how am i getting this ram?"

[obsidian zodiac]

okay lets throw kahoot quizzes in there too. give you some PTSD doug

[scenic mirage]

I have 64gb and I never regret getting it

[native tapir]

DUDE WTF

[cunning glade]

Well I figured I'd pay for it

[real shale]

..... yeah but you need to find it first

[cunning glade]

Wym the kit I wants in stock

[native tapir]

Jason that was....that was dark brother. The Vietnam helicopters just flew behind me when I pictured kahoot quizzes

[cunning glade]

Just got save up like 4-5k for the whole upgrade

[real shale]

i am utterly shocked actually, i went looking for ram the other day and there was just...nothing

you know its bad when all the ram in your search is DDR4 when you looked up DDR5

[scenic mirage]

I got a store w a 64gb ddr5 kit of ram for 7600 danish kroner (1170 usd)

[real shale]

i want to go to 64 GB, but i cant find anything of 4800 MT/s

[native tapir]

Alright I have to go shape the young minds of America. I will watch the dev stream during my planning period. Do not bring up kahoot. Dark Doug will come out

[jagged nymph]

THATS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN ALOT OF PEOPLE ENTIRE PC

[scenic mirage]

I paid like 3100 usd for my gpu 😭 rtx 3090 founders edition

[jagged nymph]

you can get a 5090 for that btw 🥀

cheaper actually

[real shale]

did you buy during covid?

[scenic mirage]

That's cool but I bought it in 2021 or smth

[real shale]

okay yeah thats completely understandable then

[jagged nymph]

shoulda used time travel

[real shale]

i remember buying a 1660S for like 500 USD in 2020 LOL

[hard ivy]

I'm waiting for the 9080XT
if that ever comes out

it's been rumored for like a year now

[real shale]

worst mistake of my life was listening to the "wait until 30 series drops" advice

[scenic mirage]

I made bank from 30 series and ps5s/xbox

Made like 10 grand one day from nfts

Bought my computer

[remote siren]

i paid 230€ for a 2x32gb 6000 cl30 kit in 24

its so damn stupid how they went up

[scenic mirage]

lmfao its funny bc ddr5 was stupid expensive at first and then the price normalized and thanks to ai the ram manufacturers arent making as much ddr5 now 😍

[leaden turret]

presumably when the AI bubble bursts they'll be selling a bunch of tech to try and recoup costs

[cunning glade]

So glad I got a 6900xt for half that price and it preforms better wild pricing

[remote siren]

why so slow for ddr5?

[hard ivy]

I'm planning to build a NAS and I'm thinking about using DDR4
Like I ain't paying 250$ for 2x8 GB

[swift quarry]

hey, isn't this a conversation to have in #off-topic-tech?

[scenic mirage]

i think itll be the start of cloud gaming. they have the CPUS, ram, GPUS, and storage. like they could make bank selling it as a monthly subscription (which is horrible)

[jagged nymph]

oh no....

[remote siren]

nvidia did that already
