satisfactory

[unkempt blade]

fandom is good at SEO and bad at wiki maintenance

[ornate saffron]

I had a 8gb update when I switched from main branch to experimental

[white dawn]

Essentially just endless barrage of annoying ads

[zenith pecan]

Ublock nukes ads though.

[rough shore]

adblockers chat

[white dawn]

Oh for sure, but it was a bad user experience for anyone who was unfortunate to visit without adblockers

[high rock]

I had that as well, though it shouldn't increase the size as much

[white dawn]

And getting good adblocking on mobile browsers is more difficult, etc

(I mean, I've got good adblocking on mine, but a lot of folks don't)

[tall viper]

It also has really bad business practice in general including how they're disagreeable about the removal of content if you, for example, open an official wiki for your game.

[ornate saffron]

My games drive both at home and on my laptop is 2tb. Its not something I think about.

The download is the only relevant information I have.

[prime basin]

removal?

[zenith pecan]

I also use pihole to deal with unwanted crap at the network level.

[unkempt blade]

for example when you're really good at SEO and then have inaccurate wikis in the top few results

[white dawn]

I mean to be fair, that's not why the official wiki was moved to wiki.gg; that was just a big pain point after it got moved

Prior to being moved to wiki.gg, Fandom's SEO was doing a good job 'cause the Fandom wiki was up-to-date, even if it was an ad-laden trashfire. :)

[ripe current]

Nice 1.2 looks kinda cool. I am curious what 1.3 will give us 🤔

[white dawn]

Fortunately the search engines have mostly caught on by now

[high rock]

I have space but I had to switch the game over to a different drive since my C Drive was getting to full. I suppose my load times will be slightly slower but oh well, My main save file was shunted so it shouldn't effect me too much on the new one

[high rock]

Golf

[ornate saffron]

Lizard catto, and goat sim crossover

[unkempt blade]

even more perfect fluids than 1.2 probably

and probably mk3 factory carts

[rough shore]

what

is 1.2 adding mk2 factory carts or

[ripe current]

Maybe better fluid trains?

[ornate saffron]

Like goat sim they are so good they dont need a 2

[unkempt blade]

I'm choosing to have faith that Jason will get them to sneak mk2 carts into 1.2 still

He seems like a good guy and I'm sure it was just an honest mistake they weren't in exp already

[ripe current]

Maybe we go the factorio way and travel to another planet

[unkempt blade]

I've been pitching "the last elevator shipment sucks you into a wormhole and dumps you on a new save at the start of the game again" which is basically "another planet"

[rough shore]

tier 10 is sending the pioneer up the space elevator

[ripe current]

I'm still not giving the hope up for a survival mode where the fauna is basically a threat

[ripe current]

huh? Since when? I finished the game with 1.0 release it I haven't had such a feature

[rough shore]

nah suggestion

[distant pilot]

Apparently they buffed fluid wagons to now carry 2,400m^3 of fluid

[ripe current]

I was disappointed tbh cuz I basically handcrafted T10

[foggy heart]

is SCIM down?

[distant pilot]

Even though the UI doesn’t say so

[rough shore]

isnt t9 the max or do u unlock more once u get tier 9

[unkempt blade]

Yeah that felt like a lot already. They didn't really need a buff as-is to be functional

[ripe current]

I don't have the reference. Not sure what it was before. But the main issue was just that loading and unloading was inefficient cuz of the flow speed. I think there was a bottleneck

[distant pilot]

Tier 9 is the max

[ripe current]

I meant the highest tier, my bad

[distant pilot]

It was 1600 originally

[unkempt blade]

next stop, over 9000!

[distant pilot]

Unfortunately the flow speed problem seems to be because stations can’t move any material to belts or pipes when a train is loading/unloading

[ripe current]

Last time I played was with 1.0 and the last tier was just disappointing. I just used nuclear power, made them into plutonium rods or whatever and sank them. Cuz you got more points than refining them further. So it was pointless to basically do anything In T9

[ripe current]

Na the issue was the throughput of the pipes I think. You only have 2 outputs? I think?

[distant pilot]

And idk if/how they’re gonna fix that

[distant pilot]

That’s 1,200 fluid per minute

[ripe current]

Not too sure tbh. I just knew packing and unpacking was more efficient

[native stream]

do u suggest storage or the upload speed upgrades first

[ripe current]

I just remember people telling me the math behind it and I was like: oh

[distant pilot]

Packing is more per wagon but then you either need to sink 2,400 canisters of material per minute or use a second train to return them

[unkempt blade]

it's not "more efficient" it just lets you carry more fluid in a single freight car (at the cost of all the power and machines to pack and unpack)

[jagged nymph]

i personally get the inventory upload first then the first 2 speed upgrades then the first 2 storage then i upgrade then at the same pace, but thats my preference

[white dawn]

No matter how you transfer liquids (packaged or otherwise), you're subject to the constraint that train stations cease transferring material for about 27 seconds while the train is loading/unloading. So you cannot get 2x max-pipe-speed throughput, or 2x max-belt-speed throughput

[ripe current]

I also think one point was that it ain't consistent. I think it blocked the fluid output during unloading

[white dawn]

Your maximum throughput will be less than 2x, and the exact number depends on stack size (for solids) and round-trip

[jagged nymph]

yeah, its usually best to aim for just one full

[prime basin]

storage, you're not really gonna need faster upload speed until later

[distant pilot]

Ah, right

[white dawn]

Though of course you can always just add more cars -- that limit is just per car

[jagged nymph]

yeah thats one thing people seem to not mention

[ripe current]

This. That's the point I meant

[jagged nymph]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lfzcDvQ-4cI

[rough shore]

woah u can send links

[unkempt blade]

This is why I never had an issue with the existing fluid freight cars. I like more trains and a reasonably sized train easily handles a good amount of fluids unless you have it running a silly-long route

[white dawn]

There's an allow list -- you can only paste links to a set of allowed domains. :)

[rough shore]

oh never saw that in any other discord

[jagged nymph]

some links

[rough shore]

well is there an allowed domain list like a public list

[jagged nymph]

yeah you can do youtube and like the official wiki i think

[ornate saffron]

Discord has some nice customization but it requires lots of work

[jagged nymph]

and satisfactory caluclator

[white dawn]

I don't think it's published, no, but it's a pretty small list. A selection of Satisfactory-specific domains plus a few big ones like youtube

[jagged nymph]

theres also tons of bots to do it

[noble viper]

I think it would be nice to have fluid tank railcars at 3.2k volume rather than the current 1.6

[ornate saffron]

Wiki no fandom. The bots yell at you for fandom

[jagged nymph]

thats what i meant to say

typo

[unkempt blade]

yelling at people for fandom is relatable

#FANDOMSUCKS

[sick falcon]

irl road networks are lwk just big networks of smart splitters

[distant pilot]

So are your blood vessels

[sick falcon]

aren’t those more like pipes and valves

[distant pilot]

No I replaced them with belts and smart splitters

Packaged blood

[prime basin]

nice

[dense spruce]

sup guys quick question, if i have 300 ores per minute going into a splitter and i then use mk1 belt to put it into a smelter, will it then just use 60 ore or will it still divide into 150?

[prime basin]

just 60

belt speed is a bottleneck

[white dawn]

The mk1 side will get 60, and the "other" side will get 240 (assuming you've at least got a mk3 on it)

The splitter will try to split evenly, but if one of the outputs is "blocked" (as it will be, frequently, on the mk1 side), then it round-robins over to the other outputs

The splitter logic basically just round-robins around its outputs; if it can send the material down an output it will, but if not it'll skip and try the next

[dense spruce]

alright ty

[chrome iron]

do people build malls, big factories, a building full of needed resources like a main factory in one place or do u just build differently

[white dawn]

"People" as a whole build in a lot of different ways. If you can think of a possible way to arrange your factory/factories, it's likely that someone's already done it. :)

[chrome iron]

I’m starting to get into trains and I need to start making huge resources and so I need to start making some huge construction like a mall

[white dawn]

Personally I go for an Independency minded approach (https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:Independency), which is smaller isolated factories for each output, from ore->product, which only ever feed into my personal storage.

[shadow bolt]

25x multi so cooked

25k smart plating

[white dawn]

"Central storage" (which some folks call a "mall") can certainly be a fun project, though the in-built alternative is building out your Dimensional Depots. Once those are fully upgraded and built-out, you basically never need centralized storage at all

(Technically you never needed central strorage in the first place, of course, though many folks found it quite useful, pre-Depot)

I still like building Central Storage 'cause it's a fun logistical challenge, but on my 1.0 playthrough, by midgame or so I was literally never actually physically taking anything out of it, thanks to Depots

[leaden turret]

-# cough warehouse cough

[chrome iron]

I dont wanna build central storage using the dimensional depot because I have other way of getting them in dimensional depot. I just wanted to know how big should a factory be and how many factories should I build

The resources

[leaden turret]

as big as you want it

[white dawn]

Again: very personal preference question there. :)

"should" usually boils down to However You Want. As I say, for myself I tend to go for Independency. Other folks like centralizing more

[neon yoke]

Hi, If I have a railway line with three stations, can I load parts into the same container at several stations?

[austere smelt]

Playing my pre-1.0 save in 1.0+, I opted to keep the central storage, but recycled the mini malls I had sprinkled about the map.

[cold wasp]

how do i snap a sign to the floor

[next ivy]

hold ctrl i think

wont work on catwalk tho for example

[austere smelt]

Nudge it?

[next ivy]

you cant rotate them with nudge tho (in that direction)

would need to place them on a horizontal beam first and then nudge

[dense spruce]

another quick question guys, does it matter if you use higher items per minute belts then the amount your transporting? ie using mk4 belt for 170 ore per minute?

[thorn spear]

can someone help me in #1038092680493801533

[subtle mason]

You just get your ore from point a to point b faster

It's not just how much they can transfer per minute, it's how FAST they can transfer those items per minute

This can make or break your machines constantly de powering and powering back on because they're not getting enough ore constantly

[jagged nymph]

nope, it makes no difference in how it actually functions. Like zi said it just makes the ore physically move faster

[empty bone]

why is my train not taking items

[jagged nymph]

#1038092680493801533 and thats a very vague question, id suggest adding more information in your post there

[empty bone]

my bad

[subtle mason]

I would be on the side of upgrading your most important factories first to faster belts

[dense spruce]

so its better to move items faster so machines dont power down? so i can use mk4 belts for 170 items per minute and it wont flirp up my factory?

[subtle mason]

Like iron factories

[subtle mason]

your machines powering down isn't a bad thing per say, they're conserving energy
But it shows that they're not getting fed enough ore

[dense spruce]

set it to load or unload

[empty bone]

i have

[subtle mason]

Them depowering won't flip your factory upside down unless it's a very large scale one

If you have trouble with machines constantly getting powered down, and have one miner that splits into 4+ nodes

[dense spruce]

alright ill check thank you

[jagged nymph]

the only difference it makes is lets say youre belting over coal from super far away, when you first start up the factory the coal will get there faster. Other than that, as long as the belt is fast enough to carry the amount youre sending, it will function exactly the same

[subtle mason]

Do a 2-2 split on another iron node

One miner feeds two machines, the other feeds the other two

It ensures that they're getting the ore they need constantly

[zealous gull]

I have a question about these random nodes location. For example, if 3 players choose same custom modes and the same type of node randomness (let's say, basic nodes) will the nodes for those 3 players be shuffled the same way or also will it be random for them? At first I think it will be random for them also. If the nodes are at the different location then the map on satisfactory site will be useless and player will need to visit every part of the map and put down the radio towers to get the ore locations on in-game map? Am i missing something?

[subtle mason]

That's what i did on one of my iron nodes

Even if you give it 3 power cells, your machines still might power down due to the limitations of your splitters/mergers

Why the FUCK is making ANYTHING sam related such a pain in the asshole?

[jagged nymph]

splitters/mergers have no limitations

the only limitation is belt speed

[subtle mason]

Why DO I HAVE TO HAND CRAFT EVERY SINGLE FUCKING THING

[subtle mason]

Setting up factories around the map, ziplines that are now obsolete because of power lines

[dense spruce]

make sure your stations are in correct order, ore is loading into the stations and that they are (un)loading based on what you need. If that dont work then idk

[subtle mason]

guys I have a small issue

My copper factories make too much copper related stuff

[jagged nymph]

how is that an issue

[subtle mason]

I have 4 containers full of wire, 4 containers of cable

And 2 containers of copper sheets

And i don't want to sink them

Because fuck the sink program

[jagged nymph]

again how is that an issue

[subtle mason]

storage space runs out

[jagged nymph]

so?

[subtle mason]

wdym so

[jagged nymph]

add more storage if you need more

[subtle mason]

There is only so much space i can store these useless fucking items in

[leaden turret]

build up

[jagged nymph]

then just use 1 or 2 chests?

[subtle mason]

What am i even gonna do with 4 CONTAINERS OF WIRE

[jagged nymph]

leave it there?

come grab some when you need it?

[subtle mason]

that's what I've been doing for the longest time but like

[jagged nymph]

mhm

[subtle mason]

I'm just asking myself
Am I ever gonna need this much

[leaden turret]

you know you can just... store less

[subtle mason]

but that would mean my factory wouldnt produce more

[jagged nymph]

even if you made 0.00001 per minute it would still fill up eventually

[subtle mason]

I don't want to have more but i don't want my factory to stop

[leaden turret]

so?

[subtle mason]

Socrates didn't die

[jagged nymph]

having a full storage container is literally the opposite of an issue

[leaden turret]

thats what sinks are for

[subtle mason]

fuck the sink program and their 40 points per cable

The shop is obsolete

i get what i want by making it

[jagged nymph]

if youre just gonna complain about everything thats your problem

[ornate saffron]

When I did mass storage I had every node overflow to a sink

[leaden turret]

if you want your factories to be constantly producing, but you don't want to sink, your only options are:

1. stop producing more than you consume
2. play something else

With the new changes to roads and vehicles – is it possible to completely skip trains and replace them with vehicles/trucks? I find building tracks super exhausting and annoying, which is probably one of the biggest reasons why I never played deeper into the game.

guys how do valves work?

[real shale]

i see

[green fiber]

they are pressure sensitive.
half full pipe = you get half of what the valve is set to

[minor cedar]

tryna limit crude oil to 30 per min to the first refinary in order to make some plastic instead of it going full pressure

[green fiber]

why dont you just let it go into the refinery full pressure and wait for it to fill

then once its full it only gets 30/min anyway

[sterile blade]

That is some massive blur

[distant pilot]

Valves are more for byproduct handling so that you don’t overfill on fluids in a certain part of your network

[minor cedar]

yeah true

i was tryna fill the manifold quickly

by using valves and was tryna learn how they work aswell

[green fiber]

if you put valves on machines in a manifold then all machines would need a valve

if you start using valves on manifolds (or just splits in general) you may never have a pipe without a valve going somewhere cuz otherwise the fluid just goes the path of least resistance instead of going through any valves

[wind token]

I got them VIP junctions down now. Set up water recycle so fast this time.

havnt really found a use for valves aside preventing fluids going into a specific pipe and limiting on a recycle loop

Same with a miner it won’t have any in it if it’s sending it all out

Though I think the accelerator is the exception there, and every other machine accepts sloops based on the number of input ports

Or doesn’t accept them in the case of the packager

[sharp basin]

Yep, I’m trying Satis Modeler for the 1st time and discovering this

Discovering too that I can reach 120,000 MW with 1,800 crude oil (2 pure and 2 normal nodes) and 4 Somersloops

I think

[distant pilot]

If you use sloops to make turbo fuel, then rocket fuel , and then ion fuel (all default recipes) you can be net positive on compacted coal since it doubles the byproducts too

[random haven]

Got all the basic crap automated lol.

[bleak valley]

Making 2 GW for partway into phase 2

[hearty marlin]

i just made a steel factory but i need to transport coal from another place, should i use conveyors or cars?

[bleak valley]

I haven’t even unlocked steel yet

[sharp basin]

Talking about a fuel power plant using heavy oil residue and unpackaged fuel

[hearty marlin]

so you dont know what hell is like

[bleak valley]

This is my second save where I’m building way bigger

I’m about to make 30 modular frames a minute for my starter factory for them

[dreamy anchor]

Is IT possible to Change cost multiplier with my Savegame?

[bleak valley]

Has to be a fresh save I believe

[prime basin]

idk it might be possible with save editing, i think there are tools for that

[dreamy anchor]

Yes that's what they wrote in Newsfeed but i dont Wand to start over i 😅

[distant pilot]

You have absolutely no reason to do that yet, and the effort of getting biofuel to power all of that machinery isn’t worth it

[dreamy anchor]

I Just Started 20h two weeks ago but now with the new exp Update im tempted to start over

[distant pilot]

At least wait for coal power

[plush trellis]

I am a tad confused why I can’t powrr these crashed pad

[solar loom]

you need some materials to open the door and you get hdd and some other goodies

[distant pilot]

Some take power, some take a certain material, and a few take both or neither

[dreamy anchor]

I would Love to Change it whenever im in the mood ro Change it xD

[plush trellis]

Oh I have open many before. This one I can’t open for some reason

[bleak valley]

I’m using coal

[distant pilot]

Ahh my bad

[bleak valley]

I’d rather die than fuel this much on bio lmao

I spent 100 hours in my first save and got halfway through phase 4

Just wanted to restart to have better foundations

[distant pilot]

I think the foundations are the exact same no matter what save you play

:3

[plush trellis]

Fixed it don’t worry

[bleak valley]

[plush trellis]

My hover pack was on

[distant pilot]

LMAO

[naive sandal]

Cowabunga

[distant pilot]

That never even occurred to me since I swap to jet pack when I’m exploring

[plush trellis]

It’s take 100 MW

[bleak valley]

The real issue with doing this early isn’t power it’s moving 300 items per minute with mk2 belts

I technically can use mk3 but I’d have to hand craft a bunch of stuff

[distant pilot]

What are you moving 300/m of in one place, assuming it isn’t screws?

[solar loom]

which power thing should i look at the max cons or the production

[bleak valley]

Iron wire for stitched iron plates

[uneven heart]

Could anyone help me. I’m on ps5 game crashes when auto saves now or manually. Can to many trains/drones make this happen? I have 30 drones and 27 trains xD. Also has been since I entered the moss pit on the right side of the map lol

[hearty wind]

When is 1.2 going to drop

[bleak valley]

When it’s ready

[normal orbit]

which prob wont be soon, cuz oh boy shes buggy

[real shale]

you think its that bad? i havent had a horrible experience so far

[normal orbit]

nothing gamebreaking so far

but theres an oodle of lil things

and prob some design changes for the game modes

[sinful roost]

Anyone build a highway that circles the map yet for the new truck payhing?

[chrome gull]

rip = reinforced iron plate

[normal orbit]

not sure i'd use trucks for that kinda distance :p

[ornate saffron]

my guess fall

[plush trellis]

You want that person to fall?

[ornate saffron]

yes.

into my arms and dance the nightr away

[bleak valley]

[vale shell]

the new update is great but I got hit by a tractor and now im slow and short

[peak wasp]

I'm loving it so much. Rain + random nodes

[leaden turret]

Here comes my power graph again
Right back to where it should have been
'Cause storage power's gone and I am free
ADA can't do a thing to me

[vale shell]

I enjoy the new road system, makes the tractors and building roads mjch more important and helpfull

[white dawn]

#satisfactory-experimental btw. :)

[vale shell]

I got the golden nut just now

[hearty marlin]

im bouta crash out

i just built the factory just to forget i had to do screws

[bleak valley]

Screws are the bane of early belt speeds

[ornate saffron]

naw, just the bane of Big manifolds. this is where you want mini manifolds

[warm finch]

but it teaches players to prepare for wire, quickwire, etc.

[mystic oriole]

don't know why, but that almost sounds like a country western song.
May as well sound like:
The truck showed up, the explorer showed up. And the truck got stuck. My sushi dog died, fuse died and now I'm dying to find the middle of the map.

[tall lantern]

and an important lesson: don't jam everything onto one belt

[white dawn]

Screws pro strat: for any machine which needs screws, make the screws directly in front of that machine, in the exact amount the machine needs. Screw belt speed problems disappear if you do that

[hearty marlin]

no like i needed to make reeinforced plates but now i to remake everything

[bleak valley]

The immediate “several people are typing” when screws get mentioned lmao

[mystic oriole]

groan screws

[warm finch]

I like my screw factory though. 2400 screws/min go brrrrr

[vale shell]

I made a glass case for my nuts

[hearty marlin]

ill burn it down

[warm finch]

disinvited

[mystic oriole]

my wife did something like that for me too

[hearty marlin]

why u flexin ur hours gang

[mystic oriole]

it was a thing a few months ago. and I'm too lazy to update it

[ocean leaf]

Finally saved the day! Only took me 339h in this save 😄

Now I can finally check out 1.2 EXP 🥳

[abstract girder]

What are you going to do with so many nails?

[floral sparrow]

Hey folks! I'm 30 hours into Satisfactory and having a blast. I would love to play it with my friends too and one is mildly interested, but I'm wondering if there's anything cool or notable you'd recommend me showing off to sell him on it. I suspect the aesthetic design and architecture would appeal most to him, as he's the guy who decorates the base for hours in other games, lol

[ornate frost]

take a look through #design-and-architecture

[tall lantern]

could have a nose through #screenshots and #design-and-architecture

[abstract girder]

You can show them the Awesome Shop and what you can buy there. :D

[tall lantern]

think there might be a site with all the community highlights somewhere too

https://communityhighlights.satisfactory.video/

[ornate saffron]

the lizard doggo should be enough

[bleak valley]

Stupid job stopping me from finishing my modular frame factory

I just gotta hook up the iron rods and power then storage for the frames

[rough shore]

modular frames are lame

[floral sparrow]

Thanks folks! Will give it a look

[rough shore]

any time

[bleak valley]

I’m glad satisfactory tools exists or I’d be suffering trying to make this many items per minute

[rough shore]

yeah but i feel like its more fun to do it alone

but i mean each person has their way 🤷‍♂️

[bleak valley]

Maybe but I’m pretty bad at math lol

[supple canopy]

yoo i didn't know they increased fluid freight cars capacity

[bleak valley]

And I’m making 30 modular frames a minute as a start up so the tools helps

[supple canopy]

1600 to 2400 m3 that's HUGE

[rough shore]

thats 1440 iron right?

[bleak valley]

I’m not at home so I can’t look

[rough shore]

oh alr

just wanted to test if i remember correctly that a modular frame is 48 iron

[bleak valley]

I got a good few alternate recipes working

[rough shore]

ah right i forgot alternate recipes

idk i dont have any for the modular frame yet

[bleak valley]

Iron wire and stitched plates to ignore screws entirely

[rough shore]

oh i was gonna say im not a fan of stitched plates cuz it uses copper

but i ddint know iron wire is a thing

damn thats really nice

now i regret not getting stitched plates on my hard drives i skipped it twice i think

[bleak valley]

Yeah iron wire is a bit of a weird ratio but it’s not a bad recipe

It’s my first time using it

I don’t remember the exact number of iron but I’m using four modes 2 pure and 2 normal if I remember correctly

[rough shore]

yeah 5/9 is a bit weird but i mean its close to 5/10 from normal copper so

[bleak valley]

I had to have 14 machines making it

[rough shore]

it does cost more using iron wire and stitched plates but i mean might be worth it

[celest hatch]

Path signals into an intersection, Block signals out of an intersection?

[tall lantern]

if it needs path signals at all. block signals are also often fine

[bleak valley]

I didn’t have any copper near where I built it so kinda required unless I moved it

[tall lantern]

also long block before the entry's path signal and shorter block after the exit's block signal will help. long block lets the train reserve the path earlier and so not slow down early, and short block after frees up the route quicker since path reservations include the exit block

[rough shore]

i just use iron cast screws and the normal iron plates iron cast screws is the same ratio as normal screws but it can make more per minute each machine and also skips rods

[bleak valley]

Yeah I would just use cast screws before but I let tools do whatever this time

[rough shore]

ok now that i think about it i feel like iron cast screws is more effiecent?

why did tools give u stitched plates

[dense violet]

because your resource values aren't the same as whatever the program's are?

it can't read your brain

[tall lantern]

also depends what alts you've got enabled

[ornate saffron]

steel rods-screws is better

[bleak valley]

I had cast screws enabled

[dense violet]

if you don't want a planner to use specific recipes , uncheck them

people also use 'maximise' on it which throws resource conservation out the window

so that might also be your main issue. Put in a real number instead of maximise when you find the maximum

[rough shore]

but stitched plates and iron wire cost 18.xxx to make a plate and cast screws and normal plates cost 12 to make a plate

[bleak valley]

I just typed in 30 modular frames and did what it said

[rough shore]

18.xxx iron and 12 iron i mean btw

[dense violet]

share the link?

[bleak valley]

It’s my tools we’re talking about they’re just wondering why it chose what it did

[rough shore]

idk i used my brains fr

[bleak valley]

I’m not at home so I can’t link unfortunately

[rough shore]

guys guys guys

[tall lantern]

gals gals gals

[rough shore]

i added 15 instead 5 so it made 18.xxx not 8.xxx

so like

yeah

ok wait

my brain is pooping hold up

[bleak valley]

They’s they’s they’s

[rough shore]

ok no wait it is 18.xxx i think? idk my brain just blew up

[tall lantern]

just put it in a planner

[rough shore]

never used one

[tall lantern]

never too late to start

[rough shore]

ok no it is indeed 8.xx not 18.xxx

[bleak valley]

Satisfactory tools is easy

Modeler actually takes knowledge and some skill so I don’t use it

[rough shore]

i apologize people

[tall lantern]

tools for different use cases

[rough shore]

ok guys an iron plate with iron wire and stitched plates costs 8.703703703703704 not 18.703703703703704
while iron screws and normal plates cost 12 iron

[bleak valley]

So mine is cheaper

[ornate saffron]

the game only uses 4 digits after the decimal

[reef basin]

for clock speed, not for per minute costs
(although per minute costs are a lie anyway)

[rough shore]

well im like really advanced

[dense violet]

RIP Base https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=mKEJ6w5nDGl8B6U3KyTB
RIP stitched https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=mKEJ6w5nDGl8B6U3KyTB

[rough shore]

they are both the same or am i not smart enough

[dense violet]

blah the ctrlc didn't work properly

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=WiJaW5JGTGD1vOPUGE7K

sticched

[bleak valley]

And then multiply that by 45 for my scale and we have a big amount saved

[rough shore]

i still dont get why they did the iron wire ratios like that tho 5/9

[bleak valley]

Actually tools can do that

I save about 150 iron ore with stitched

[dense violet]

because ratios are totally meaningless in a game where you can clock machines however you like

[rough shore]

yeah no im saying the ratio itself is a little weird 5 iron makes 9 wire it just adds a lot of decimals i feel like

[dense violet]

again, meaningless

just numbers and your brain trying to sort them into boxes that don't matter

numbers are numbers

[rough shore]

decimals are not fun

[dense violet]

increase the time scale from per 1 minute to per 1000 minutes and 8.954 turns into 8954

[floral sparrow]

Do Mercer Spheres and Somersloops contribute toward the same story dialogue path?

[rough shore]

how much iron do u make per min? 800.1295 sounds very 🚜

[dense violet]

then don't make that much

but also, it's literally just a dot. Your brain is causing the problem

its like saying if splitters were blue that would cause serious issues in your production facility

[rough shore]

maybe i dont like blue

[bleak valley]

Then make it red

[dense violet]

but it would still be incorrect that it causes problems

[bleak valley]

Just like how you can clock the decimal out

[dense violet]

change the unit of time you're measuring in and decimals go away. It's all imaginary issues

[eager palm]

I remember when my splitters were blue, and my aluminium kept recycling water incorrectly. Changed it to green (God’s recycling color) and now it works right

[rough shore]

what if i want to use seconds

[bleak valley]

I feel like we’re just creating issues that don’t exist now

[rough shore]

yeah

[floral sparrow]

Is pumping 60 SAM per minute directly into my AWESOME sink a good early game ticket farming method?

[rough shore]

why not make it reanimated sam

[real shale]

why not make it SAM fluctuators

[rough shore]

cuz he said early game

[real shale]

SAM fluctuators are early game?

you only need wire and steel pipes plus reanim SAM for SAM fluctuators

[rough shore]

what is early game

[floral sparrow]

Ah, true lol

I'm in stage 3/4 I believe. Unlocking the vehicle and steel stuff

The one where you get coal power

[real shale]

pre phase 3 imo

[real shale]

you should be close to unlocking SAM fluctuators then

[rough shore]

well u dont have access to manufacturers then

[bleak valley]

You’d need a manufacturer to make them automatic

[real shale]

fair, can still handcraft tho :P

[bleak valley]

Phase 2 tier 3 if your unlocking steel

[rough shore]

thats not allowed

[real shale]

too bad, it is now

[dense violet]

then you have imaginary decimals based on your arbitrary unit.
though atm you're just starting to sound like a troll

[rough shore]

Sir we already said we are trying to create problems that don't exist as stated by Mr. GameCrusader in this text message above☝️.

[floral sparrow]

Right

Point production doubled with reanimated instead, yippee

[unkempt blade]

that's like ~30% of all conversations here and the rest is mostly people struggling with trains and pipes

[rough shore]

yeah fluids are scary

im still on the water stuff i tried to watch a guide all about fluids he started talking about nitrogen and stuff

[unkempt blade]

don't worry 1.2 is going to make fluids even more perfect than they already are

[rough shore]

thats really fantastic

[wise junco]

i have never bought a factory cart

[rough shore]

bro

if ur first instinct wasnt buying the factory cart in the awesome shop then ur doing smth wrong 🤷‍♂️

[wise junco]

my whole life is wrong lmao

[rough shore]

a factory cart goes a long way

[keen flame]

hello guys, crude oil is 2 km away from my hub, what‘s the best way to travel there back and forth a few times to build some stuff to automate its production

[wise junco]

hypertubes if you have them... if not, blade runners

[rough shore]

hypertube?

[keen flame]

i‘m thinking of extracting and processing and packaging it there then carrying it with tractors

since i dont have trains yet

[scenic tinsel]

Bruh would be nice if you could set nicknames to vehicles

[keen flame]

because i need oil stuff to make trains

i think

[reef basin]

why not making the product near oil?

[keen flame]

that‘s what i meant by processing

[reef basin]

yeah but why moving it back then?

[keen flame]

idk, i thought i would need it for something?

[bleak valley]

I like power towers and the zip line easy and can be afk’d

[reef basin]

if you need it for something, use it where it is

[keen flame]

afk‘d how?

[wise junco]

oh yeah, legit, power towers are great for transit

[keen flame]

well that‘s been my strategy so far

[bleak valley]

Power towers don’t kick you off when you reach the next one unlike power poles so if you right click you stick to the line the entire way without pressing anything

[keen flame]

and yes i do have hypertubes but 2000 meters is too much isnt it

[keen flame]

ohhh thats rly nice

[bleak valley]

Cannon

[wise junco]

*as long as your turning angles from tower to tower aren't too crazy

[keen flame]

thanks very much for the info ^^

[wise junco]

(made that mistake a few times lmao)

[keen flame]

i‘ll probably do that

[bleak valley]

Oil is mainly used for Plastic rubber and then power so most stuff just made on site

[unkempt blade]

nah not long enough imo

[keen flame]

my factory is inefficient af rn

[rough shore]

then make it effiecient fr

[keen flame]

it is my first playthrough and its all product of learning

though i have experience with factory games

[wise junco]

it takes time. be patient with yourself

[bleak valley]

I have 100 hours and my factories are still a mess lol

[keen flame]

i have 100 too

[rough shore]

i have 70 and im like really great

[keen flame]

i also have a bunch of offline hours

[unkempt blade]

why though?

[rough shore]

same

[keen flame]

can‘t always play connected to the internet

[supple canopy]

guys, what's the lore behind the loading bar when picking up power slugs: are they heavy? Are they sticky and you have to yank them off the ground/cliffside?

[rough shore]

ok i thought u meant afk hours

offline hours dont count?

[keen flame]

lol i do have afk hours

[keen flame]

not on steam no

[rough shore]

crazy

[unkempt blade]

the horror

[keen flame]

it would be super easy to artificially inflate your hours on games if it counted

ruining 1/3 of steams purpose

which is flexing on friends with your progress

including playtime

luckily you still get achievements

[rough shore]

nah more playtime is worse fr

whoever has less playtime should be the one flexing

[keen flame]

and also if the game‘s save system is local as with 99% of games out there

you can play for as long as you want

and just sync to steam whenever you have internet

hours wont save but progress and achievements will

you can have 100% on games with 0 hours this way

[keen flame]

satisfavtory is apparently this way for solo saves

[unkempt blade]

these are much sweatier reasons than just playing somewhere you don't have access to internet

[rough shore]

yeah lmao

u could also use an achievement manager if u really want it that bad

[keen flame]

i didn‘t say anyone should do that

[rough shore]

guys this is my 4th time getting the 2 hours playtime thing 🥳

[keen flame]

i got 8 hours like a few days ago

[rough shore]

ive never gotten anything over 2 hours thankfully

[keen flame]

i do not regret it

the factory must grow

as a wise person once said

[rough shore]

it must grow cleanly and nicely

u need to play with a clean and open mind

[keen flame]

#satisfactory message

[keen flame]

if you saw my spaghetti that i made with a clean and open mind youd accuse me of being under influence of illegal substances

[wise junco]

pls can i see spaghett

[rough shore]

are u under the influence?

ive never seen spaghetti thats how good i am

[jagged pivot]

where can i find steel rods by the crash sites?

[keen flame]

uh what

[rough shore]

steel rods are an alternate recipe sir not an item

u either mean steel pipes or iron rods

[keen flame]

did you just answer your own question

[jagged pivot]

steel pipes*

[rough shore]

by crash sites but also craft

[jagged pivot]

yeah but where

[keen flame]

ah then there‘s a possibility some people mapped out all crash sites

i‘ve seen a map before

so you might have some luck with finding what has what

[rough shore]

why cant trees be destroyed when u build foundations i dont like them

[jagged pivot]

i havent

so do u guys know

[keen flame]

cut them down ¿

[rough shore]

too much work

[wise junco]

make them go boom

[rough shore]

very true

[keen flame]

can someone above phase 3

give advice abt whether i should rush trains specifically in tier 6 or go in order left to right tier 5 then tier 6

i see everyone talking about trains being the best method of transporting materials

[wise junco]

trains are super valuable for sure

[rough shore]

im not above phase 3 but i feel like u should just do whatever u need and then whatever u want to unlock

[keen flame]

im assuming theyll also be costly to construct though

[reef basin]

best is very much subjective

[keen flame]

hm, but what determines if it‘s worth rushing or not?

[reef basin]

you and you only

[dense violet]

depends how much where to and what the terrain is in between

[rough shore]

why rush

[keen flame]

can you elaborate on the last one? when should you use trains?

[keen flame]

mkay

[rough shore]

a lot of input from different places across the map

[dense violet]

well terrain elevation changes kinda suck for trains

[keen flame]

ah

[dense violet]

for most vehicles honestly

except drones. Drones don't care

[keen flame]

i think i know what you mean then

[keen flame]

oh that‘s gonna be fun

[rough shore]

hear me out

cover the entire map with flat foundations

[dense violet]

drones are basically just a slow teleporter between 2 points. Absolutely brain dead in design

[wise junco]

i made a large vertical spiral to traverse the rocks between the dead north marsh and the northeast desert... i did not anticipate how long it would take to traverse those spirals

[dense violet]

yeah I hate train spirals.
I made exactly 1 once, thought it was cool for about 10 seconds

[wise junco]

trust, I didn't do it for fun... necessity. i wish i would've just gone around now lol

[dense violet]

I just plan my factories and trains better now

[keen flame]

how many hrs do u guys have on the game

[rough shore]

we need a destroy terrain bomb fr

wouldnt go wrong

[dense violet]

about 3.5k, but haven't solidly played in a long time

[wise junco]

@dense violet #screenshots message

like... gee... that valley immediately to the right of it. i think they just put that there 👀

[bleak valley]

Technically the fastest mode of transport is hyper tubes setup correctly afaik

[dense violet]

no other way you could have managed that 😛

[rough shore]

75

[bleak valley]

Trains are very nice though

[wise junco]

it's tough. when i get an idea in my head, i'm just stuck on it

[rough shore]

cant hypertube items tho

[reef basin]

nope

[unkempt blade]

yeah but you can HT carts full of items

[rough shore]

u can?

[real shale]

#screenshots message Grassy fields rebuild project going well so far

[unkempt blade]

depends how carefully you drive

[wise junco]

lookin good @real shale

[rough shore]

items should fall off a conveyor at the end of it and then just like become a body with physics and just fall into a hypertube

[real shale]

thank you i did my hair differently today

[wise junco]

YOU DID??

[real shale]

yes

[unkempt blade]

You need more colors and more factory carts

[wise junco]

honestly, as someone who visits lots of actual irl factories for my job, it is something that makes me sad

[real shale]

no, only CONCRETE and red

[unkempt blade]

hey I saw orange and maybe green too, that's why you got a pass from half of my normal commentary!

[real shale]

the orange is going

#screenshots message
this whole area is getting a rebuild

[keen flame]

that looks nice

[unkempt blade]

it's magnificent and perfect in every way except for my previous suggestion

[real shale]

im hoping to turn my grass fields into a sorta city

[unkempt blade]

a sorty

[bleak valley]

What’s faster than a crazy hypertube cannon

I can cross the entire map in seconds with mine

factory cart on a mk6 conveyor

[bleak valley]

actually cackled

thank you. made my night

too bad this train station will be deleted soon 😔

I'll name my next one after you

[real shale]

i will find one to name after you after i repurpose these ones

[wise junco]

also you're going to be carrying copper ore... hope you like that

[rough shore]

bro

my foundations werent on grid

why

[wise junco]

i fail to see a problem here

[rough shore]

i see a major one

[wise junco]

for why

[rough shore]

cuz im trying to connect two parts of my factory and they look poop

[wise junco]

can you bandaid it with some clipping in the foundations?

[rough shore]

yeah but it still looks like yk

not good

i just spent like 4 hours bro

this crazy

[vernal walrus]

For long while I never trusted the holding CTRL method when placing foundation out in the open so I would drag lines and lines of foundation to expansion spots

[wise junco]

i just do it that way. each new factory is its own entity and is locally gridded

[vernal walrus]

Had to give that up when distances starting making it more tedious so I learned to trust CTRL

[rough shore]

no its because i built a bridge that i was gonna delete i was just walking to a certain point so it wasnt on grid but then i forgot about it and when i wanted to build next to it i just expanded the bridge to a foundation but turns out it wasnt on grid

grid problem

meh im gonna prob rebuild everything when i unlock trains doesnt matter

[keen flame]

half of my primary factory‘s foundations are literally at a 30ish degree angle to the rest of them and its pmo so much but im not fixing it

[wise junco]

yalll... i know i cant be the only one who found this out so late

[vernal walrus]

I just want a proper foundation corner piece…

[wise junco]

did you know pipeline wall supports work on ceilings?

I have come to the only logical and reasonable conclusion for a part of satisfactory.

Oil is coffee

It's ancient, liquid beans.

[elder oracle]

I’m a builder man guy

[keen flame]

is satisfactory supposed to heat my gpu to 85 degrees without anything else running beside like fkn steam

[elder oracle]

yes

[real shale]

toasty

[wise junco]

yes

[keen flame]

so far this is the first game i‘ve seen that does this

[elder oracle]

your computer needs to be atleast 85 degrees to run it

[keen flame]

i‘ve seen 80-82 but not this much

[proud cave]

I'd assume steam would heat up your pc quite a bit :>

[elder oracle]

on ultra detail

[keen flame]

LOL

[elder oracle]

steam does kook ur computer

[keen flame]

i mean if ur downloading smth itll contribute

i capped the game to 144 fps from both settings and nvidia panel

[keen flame]

and that somehow made it worse

maybe my fans are clogged

[elder oracle]

if ur computer isn’t running well, switch your WiFi to Public instead of Private

cuz that’s how I fixed my computer

[vernal walrus]

When was the last time you opened it up and cleaned it out

[keen flame]

it is running well and im not doing that

[keen flame]

never bc its not old

fairly new

[elder oracle]

I also have never cleaned my computer

[rough shore]

just blow in the fans fr

[keen flame]

i‘m gonna blame this on unreal tho

[elder oracle]

remove the cardboard box behind your computer

so that it doesn’t accidentally start a fire

again

[rough shore]

again?

[keen flame]

what are you talking about 😭

[real shale]

Hmmmm I wonder if I should use the coal nodes to establish my truck network

[elder oracle]

I had a cardboard box behind my computer and I was playing satisfactory and the fans were going insane. pretty sure yall know what happened next

[keen flame]

😭😭

glad you‘re alright at least

[elder oracle]

yeah

that happened like two weeks ago or smth idk

[robust frost]

anyone just starting out on 1.2 rn?

[real shale]

You know what, why not

[elder oracle]

I haven’t started 1.2 yet

[robust frost]

you should its really not that buggy in my experience

[keen flame]

i’m so tired bro

[elder oracle]

I’m planning on doing it this weekend

[real shale]

Go to sleep

[elder oracle]

on the AG build project

[inner ruin]

have you tried sleeping?

[keen flame]

im waiting for stuff to finish up

[robust frost]

the what sorry?

[keen flame]

ingame

[keen flame]

yes previously

[robust frost]

whens the last time you slept

[real shale]

That's easy, go to sleep and leave the game running

[keen flame]

that seems to solve that problem

[elder oracle]

it’s a pro builder server. I’m in it

[real shale]

Give the Microtransactions to your utility company

[keen flame]

like

i woke up 20 hrs ago?

[elder oracle]

#1393759835727855777 message

[keen flame]

and slept for abt 7 hrs

[robust frost]

k

[keen flame]

i‘ve to manually do some things 🥀

my factory isn‘t advanced enough yet

[elder oracle]

my best factory server got corrupted

and I lost that world

it wasn’t my first save tho

[keen flame]

can you play on a friend‘s factory while they‘re offline

[robust frost]

im bored af

[elder oracle]

my first save is basically smth like that but with a lot of flaws

[keen flame]

same

[robust frost]

only if its a server

[elder oracle]

like it looks like a LGIO factory but without the nuclear warhead conveyernado

[keen flame]

ye alright

[real shale]

The factory.... Must grow.... more.....

[mellow pewter]

Quick question. When making a water tower that will connect to multiple pipes, does it matter where it connects to them?

[elder oracle]

fortunately 6 power banks can cover my entire power grid for about 5 hours

[real shale]

That.....has to be a very small grid

[elder oracle]

no I just have a bunch of things that aren’t very active

and a lot of fuel power plants

[real shale]

Do you mean 6 power storages on their own, or 6 sets of them

[elder oracle]

only 6

a 2x3

[keen flame]

indeed

[elder oracle]

power slug on a circle conveyer

[real shale]

Yeah, with the infinite discharge rate, that's only 600 MWh or 600 MW for 1 hour

(even though the MWh means nothing because it's infinite discharge rate)

[keen flame]

is there a

better version of the power storages

[real shale]

More of them

[keen flame]

bruhh…

[vital quest]

i wish soembody gifted me satisfactoryyyy ughhhhhhh i wanna play satisfactory bruuuuuuuuuuu 👀

[keen flame]

what do you do? just connect them all together?

[real shale]

They are effectively done the same way power storage is done irl

Massive quantities of them connected together

[keen flame]

shoo

[vital quest]

damn youuuu

[keen flame]

nope

[vital quest]

🤓

[bleak valley]

Me when i break the rules

[vital quest]

wheres tthe rules

[bleak valley]

In the channel titled rules

I know reading is hard but you can find it

[rough shore]

thats crazy

[bleak valley]

I believe in you

[vital quest]

where

def not next to announcements right

oh there

mb

[real shale]

Reading is hard for all of us

[inner ruin]

is it?

[vital quest]

if reading is your power what are you without it

[real shale]

I don't know can you read in a foreign language?

[inner ruin]

of course

mm rules say i cant state something in another language.

anyway lets say im reading a french book. i dont speak french nor do i know any of the words, but i can read the words in the book 😄

i just dont know wtf im saying and will likely mispronounce most of it 😄

[keen flame]

that is against the definition of reading

reading is comprehending the symbols you see

ie letters

[inner ruin]

i can comprehend the letters since they use the same ones as in english 😄

most of the time

[keen flame]

if you dont know what they mean when they come together you arent reading

you are just seeing it

[inner ruin]

bro took this way too seriously

[keen flame]

and also, this isn‘t even remotely related to satisfactory

[elder oracle]

computer fyre

[fossil warren]

is it not possible to play multiplayer on expiremental?

[dense violet]

shouldn't be any reason yo ucant

havne't heard of any major mp bugs

[wise junco]

Factory

[real shale]

Indeed, factory

[bleak valley]

This banana spitting facts

I have a weird bug on my new 1.1 save where sometimes mk2 belts have like a grass texture

[odd remnant]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask. I would like to try out the experimental mode, but I want to know where I can back up my game save file.

[bleak valley]

You just copy your save into any other place that isn’t the save folder of the game

[real shale]

All you gotta do is copy and paste your game save file anywhere else on your computer (preferably a different drive if possible)

[bleak valley]

You can make a random folder on your desktop for it

[odd remnant]

Ohh okay within the steam files itself okay thanks I just wanted to make sure where it would be at

[real shale]

I put my 1.1 saves in my NAS

[bleak valley]

I might back mine up to a usb later and try 1.2

Weather and Daisy chaining seem worth it

[real shale]

I've been enjoying it so far

[bleak valley]

I’m near the start of a new save rn so it would be a good time

[real shale]

I'll start a new save eventually

[odd remnant]

Yeah I want to give it a trial and I'm assuming to try it out you have to go within the game settings to go into the game settings?

[real shale]

You swap it to experimental from steam settings

[bleak valley]

You have to change the branch of the game on steam

In the properties menu under beta’s

[odd remnant]

Thank you I forgot how to do it, it's been a while since I've done that lol

[bleak valley]

[real shale]

dap me up

[bleak valley]

[odd remnant]

[cunning glade]

How does one share a post for a q and a like can I just send the link at the top or?

[bleak valley]

There is a link to the QA website in game on the main menu

That’s as far as I can help I haven’t looked at the site

I just noticed this, thank you.

[limpid cairn]

FINALLY

mk2 belts

[weak bloom]

made a T intersection and signaled it but the signals aren't valid, do I need to properly block off the entire rail network or is it enough to just have block signals on each of the tracks going into this intersection?

#screenshots message

[knotty bear]

Satisfactory won't let me play, session creation failure.
Rn because of internet issues I am on a hotspot but that's worked in the past.

[weak bloom]

oh I moved all the signals back a stretch and it works

[real shale]

Yeah it's the signal bug again

Thinking 180 degree turns are valid

[mystic raven]

how am I supposed to get coal if its on a different island

and jetpack is tier 5 😭

[real shale]

Look for another coal node

Or build ramps and Fortnite your way up

[mystic raven]

lol ok

[sullen temple]

i have a little question about the random nodes, they are 100% really random? or the total amount of each node is the same, and just the location is random??

[real shale]

Provided you haven't altered weightings or purity in settings, just the location is random

If you adjust the weightings/purity, then it changes how much is on the map

[sullen temple]

the amount of resources change for purity i get it, but if is just for purity shouldnt the amount of nodes be the same?

[real shale]

Yup,

If you didn't select basic rich advanced rich or fossil fuel rich then the amount of nodes of each resource should be the same

[swift turret]

looked like your block at the back was not connected properly

sometimes just deleting and replacing your path/blocks will fix the issue

[bleak valley]

You can swim

Also bridges

[ornate saffron]

build
