for what doctor, the one that supposedly says the mercer spheres are good for you?

[prime basin]

thats not very efficient

Ficsit can always replace you why would they?

[jagged nymph]

dont tell me ficsit gets an auto react now

😭

[real shale]

They actually can't replace the pioneer, Ada doesn't know how long the replacement takes

She say it takes error years to replace you

[jagged nymph]

you could just eat some petroleum coke

Then keep an eye on any giant guns that could shoot down incoming ships

Hmmmm if I were just to use drones to transport materials all the way up to massive flatworld and then make highway up on the super flat world for all my materials would it be a bad idea or not I'll send a screenshot of my "flat world(it's just 200k worth of concrete for platforms)" so far when I get home

yoo the domain "google.film" is available

[prime basin]

get it

[jagged nymph]

its 550 dollars

[hollow turret]

Fuck nah

[hollow turret]

Well maybe

[jagged nymph]

but google would likely pay thousands to get it if you have it

[hollow turret]

Hmmmmmmmmm

Ferb I know what we are doing today

[prime basin]

google is probably monitering this, you dont have much time

[hollow turret]

True

[pastel scaffold]

it seems that using vulkan on linux mint using the experimental version is crashing the game for some reason
it may be a wine/proton issue but i havent the foggiest

[wispy tundra]

Hey so... I'm reading about block signals here and... Ok, do trains in satisfactory work exactly the same as they do in Transport Fever or am I hallucinating?

[minor cedar]

ok so i did a basic oil setup with 4 refinaries making plastic and the other 4 making rubber all from one pure crude oil deposit, im using the heavy crude oil to make some residual fuel but it seems very inconsistent even tho the inputs line up and idk whats happening

[tranquil bolt]

Ate they backwards?

And are you using CTRL to align?

[minor cedar]

yeah im using ctrl to align its just that i m giving the heavy crude oil to 2 more refinaries making residual fuel but it never seems to keep up with the four power generators

it should be producing 80 fuel per min and each fuel gen takes 20 per min so it should work but somehow one or even two generators dont get their fuel and the power keeps dipping

[gloomy tusk]

@zealous coral

[zealous coral]

yo

[gloomy tusk]

That fuel factory is sick

[zealous coral]

thanks bro, 110GW with only 900 oil going in

[gloomy tusk]

what recipe?

[zealous coral]

i make rubber using the oil and make diluted fuel using the leftover residue, then i turn it into nitro rocket fuel

i could get so much more if i used heavy oil residue recipe

[gloomy tusk]

i just use nitro rf

so mine is slow

[zealous coral]

same recipe i use

[gloomy tusk]

i make 3600 rf p/m

[zealous coral]

i got 12 blenders on it tho idk how much you have

[gloomy tusk]

4

and im not using 1 rn

so actually i just use 3 blenders

[zealous coral]

im doing something wrong im only making 1800 with 12 blenders

[gloomy tusk]

I sloop mine

[zealous coral]

urs are probably overclocked to the max

i used 40 sloops out of 110 for augmenters so i get 40 GW form them

[gloomy tusk]

oc to 200% and slooped so each blender gives 600 p/m so actually i have 6 blenders

[zealous coral]

i never tought of slooping fuel production

the plumbing was so annoying

[dense violet]

that's because you use augmenters and you dupe more power that way

but both things are sily

[tranquil bolt]

Watch the generators and see if theyre building more fuel. If u want i can send you pic of my set up for power. Might help🤷‍♂️

[zealous coral]

what do u use ur sloops on

i made enough of everything so i dont rly have anything to use sloops obn other than space eleavtor parts

[sturdy tartan]

yall know any good planning websites?

[zealous coral]

calculator works good

satisfactorycalculator

[sturdy tartan]

i tried putting in turbofuel but no results

[zealous coral]

r u trying to plan a power plant or like items

[dense violet]

nothing. Duping items is silly. Press a button to double output. Where's the work or challenge in that?

[rancid turret]

satisfactory tools; enable the turbo fuel alt recipe

[reef basin]

doesn't work well on anything with loops and byproducts

[dense violet]

might as well just mod in free items

[zealous coral]

it 4x ur power usage, if u dont use them might as well just use them for augmenters

[sturdy tartan]

yahh

[zealous coral]

yeah satisfactory tools works well

[sturdy tartan]

ok

[dense violet]

why would I want to dupe power when I think duping items is stupid?

it's basically a soft creative mode

[zealous coral]

if ur tryna get like max power possible in the world

some giga projects need rescources taht you would be puting aside to make fuel

is 15 RCU good for a first factory/min

[ornate frost]

I have just learned that you can ctrl + c / ctrl + v settings on machines just by looking at them

😭

[unreal sand]

Have they been tweaking the stack sizes

Earlier today I could only stack rubber to 100 now it’s back to 200

[sturdy tartan]

guys, whats the prfect amount of turbo fuel to make with 600 crude oil?

idk what the sweet spot number is

300 turbofuel uses 540 crude oil and 240 of sulfur and coal

[zealous coral]

you could try get an alt recipe for it

[sturdy tartan]

which one u reccomend?

[rancid turret]

big fan of turbo blend fuel

[dense violet]

put yoru input to 600 oil
hit maximise on the tool

[sturdy tartan]

ok thanks

[feral vector]

hmm I'm trying to figure out how to automate rotors and reinforced iron plates, do I wanna get the hang of making nice ratios? if I use two assemblers for each then I can get it setup without having any extra stuff but maybe I want extra stuff fed to storage for now?

[zealous coral]

peep the beautiful blueprint in the screenshot chanel, il drop the download if i get 1000 etitions 👍

[sturdy tartan]

yeah no i think 300 might be perfect, i have 2 600, and ill have 120 left over in total for packaging or smthng

[zealous coral]

just get a smart splitter and feed the excess into storage

[feral vector]

hmm and if I produce 90 iron rods and want 50 to go to 5 constructors and 40 to go to the assemblers how do you even split them like that?

oh okay lol a smart splitter sounds like it would do that

[reef basin]

0
make normal fuel 🙂

[sturdy tartan]

turbo better

[keen oar]

Hey folks. any chance I can join in on someones game?

[tranquil bolt]

Yeah. All i do is turbo fuel. Regular fuel was okay earlier in game.

[tranquil bolt]

Fill one big storage then sink the rest

[sturdy tartan]

im going straight from coal to a mega (?) turbo fuel power plant

[feral vector]

is there an easy way to split stuff off into storage without smart splitters?

[sturdy tartan]

im making it from all the oil at the bottom of the map

[reef basin]

nuclear better

[zealous coral]

ur gonna have a hard time getting enough motors for the gens if ur still on coal

[sturdy tartan]

gl to me trying to get nuclear in early mid

[zealous coral]

smart splitters bro😭 , why not use them

[sturdy tartan]

i got motors automated

[reef basin]

base nuclear is same tier as RF

[zealous coral]

nuclear just a flex u dont need it to finsih the game or do crazy builds

[feral vector]

I'm brand new I didn't even know those existed until you mentioned them, I have to unlock them

[zealous coral]

ur gonna need thousands stockpiled

[sturdy tartan]

im 100% gonna go nuclear but i really dont think i have enough stuff ready

[zealous coral]

only other way is to use a splitter with the mk1 belt because its the slowest

[feral vector]

I'm just trying to set up some basic automation for rotors and reinforced plates to feed into smart plates for now

[sturdy tartan]

christ i might have to make another then

[tranquil bolt]

Research programable splitters. Smart splitters are for when you have multiple items on the same belt

[reef basin]

again, base nuclear needs almost nothing

[zealous coral]

he doesnt even ahave smart splitters unlocked yet idk about program ones

[sturdy tartan]

what tier is it in

[zealous coral]

trust if u have a good enough setup rocket fuel is better than nuclear, unless youy spend tens of hours getting a full plutonium network, but atp the games finished

[zealous coral]

phase 4

[tranquil bolt]

8

[sturdy tartan]

im in phase 3, is that not early mid? 😭😭

[zealous coral]

tier 7 is nuclear

[zealous coral]

how many hours has it taken

[sturdy tartan]

50

[zealous coral]

check dm quaker

[sturdy tartan]

with decorating and taking my sweet time

alr

[tranquil bolt]

Tier 7 just gives hazmat suit. 8 gives you the buildings to make nuclear.

[reef basin]

T8

[tranquil bolt]

Im looking at it rn🤣

[zealous coral]

mb i looked at hazmat and tought to myself it must unlock the others too

nuclears not worth it until you get particle enrichment set up

[tranquil bolt]

Nuclear a pain to do. I havent set it up yet

When tf do i unlock diamonds

[reef basin]

how do you know it's a pain if you haven't set it up yet?

[tranquil bolt]

Because i tried lol. I guess ill revise my statement, its a pain in the location all my power is in

[reef basin]

base nuclear is super easy

it's the advanced stuff that is more complicated

[dense violet]

[raven axle]

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

[keen oar]

hi

[dense violet]

yeah base nuclear is very simple, non base is also pretty simple

but yeah if you force yourself to do everything in one location you come up with problems. That shouldn't be a shocker

[wispy tundra]

aaaand lets gooooo work is done, time to spend all evening with Satisfactory 😄

[zealous coral]

what problems bro i dont have any and im done the game in only the west coast

[tranquil bolt]

Yeah. I started building sub factories to feed one large factory for end game items. Im working on phase 4 rn

[dense violet]

that wasn't pinged at you

[tranquil bolt]

You run out of space, your factory gets harder and harder to expand, and you get belts that look like spegetti

[zealous coral]

i was js wonderin what problems specifically can come u mb

[wintry moth]

what's the "raining kittens and puppies" preset? does it actually have anything to do with cats and dogs or just heavy rain

[dense violet]

test and see

[keen oar]

@dense violet looking to play

[wintry moth]

i'm at work so i just wanted to know what it was before 😔

[dense violet]

which is why i directed you to #1201555265942724758

[dense violet]

no idea sorry, I don't generally mess with 1.2

but I could see it either as heavy rain or a joke where 2d cats and dogs are falling

[wintry moth]

yeah, that's the thing, i can 100% see it just being a joke

and i lowkey want it to rain cats and dogs, it'd be awesome

[tranquil bolt]

Reggie i think we might have built in like the same place. Did you build right by the oil on the west coast?

[zealous coral]

i remember a year and a half ago i got he satisfactory pen but then i brought it to school one day like a retard and it got nicked in like 30 seconds

[zealous coral]

yes, im only using the fracking nodes for my power tho, the rest is plastic, rubber and fabric

[robust brook]

Language buddy

[zealous coral]

mb bro

[tranquil bolt]

Yeah, were in the same place lol

[feral vector]

so if I need 20 iron rods / min for rotors, best I can do early game is have 15 from one constructor, then split the 15 from the other constructor, 7.5 for storage 7.5 into the rotor assembler? I'd be overshooting by 2.5 iron rods/min but that seems pretty good?

I think I explained that horribly lmao

[minor cedar]

yeah sure man

[feral vector]

or do I just feed it 15/minute and deal with 75% efficiency on rotor assembler hmmm

[sudden anvil]

Find a slug and unlock underclocking if it bothers you

But they’ll naturally balance out if you just let them overproduce a byproduct.

[feral vector]

better to overproduce then?

I'm probably being way too picky lol

[sudden anvil]

Doesn’t really hurt. After a while the production rate will be exactly 20

[feral vector]

hmm how would it end up at 20?

[sudden anvil]

Because it will produce too much, back up and stop

[feral vector]

gotcha thanks

[sudden anvil]

Only thing you get by matching it perfectly is perfect smooth power consumption

[feral vector]

yeah I'm not too worried about that

[rough shore]

flat power consumption is mandatory

[fervent pilot]

how to get good at factory game

[elfin saffron]

guys do i have to play on normal with no cheats even though i havent completed the game yet?

because all my factories im making on normal just arent good and im really not happy with them

[rough shore]

its a singleplayer game play however u like doesnt matter

also multiplayer but still

[subtle mason]

ill die before i start working towards S.E phase 2

space elevator be damned ill do everything physically possible before i have to upgrade that thing

[rough shore]

numbers are intimidating but its really not hard

[subtle mason]

no noo

i know it is easy ESPECIALLY with my factories

but i just.. dont wanna right now

ive been getting way too busy with sidequests lately

and frankly, thats what keeping me from burnout

[rough shore]

i mean yeah thats what i also do i just automate everything before going to the next phase cuz no point in rushing

[feral vector]

seems kinda hard to do early game though lol

[elfin saffron]

right okay im starting a new save with everything unlocked and cheats on

(even though i hevent beat the game normally yet)

[rough shore]

once u have underclock and overclock its just simple

just match the input and output

[subtle mason]

also

when you get power slugs and wanna boost your machines

[feral vector]

yeah for sure I just don't have any of that stuff yet

[subtle mason]

make sure youre not going too much over the minimum amount of power required to keep them running

youre gonna just burn thru your fuel for no reason and you need that

[shy basalt]

Anyone wanna tell me what i should work on i started over im pass phase 2 just need some ideas of what to start doing now im getting bored lol

[flat narwhal]

The only "cheat" i use is unlocking all alt recipes... had to hunt hard drives too many times in the past...i put my time in lol

[subtle mason]

side quests?

the mam, finding new fuel resources

decorating a factory, making a new factory

or exploration

anything other than the main stuff really

[elfin saffron]

guys do i have to wait for the credits to end or do i have to manually turn them off

nvm they stopped

[jade nova]

This might be a known issue with the experimental build, but is anyone else having an issue where a cogwheel shown up at random places in the inventory and ask for preferred fuel? I got this after unlocking jetpack.

[supple rain]

Something I just realized a second ago:
with all pure nodes, there is a new maximum usage nuclear power plant you can get

(2100/m uranium becoming 6000/m)

[real shale]

Hmmmm

#screenshots message not sure i like this

[feral vector]

so I had wood, leaves, and biomass in a storage container that feeds into a constructor that I just switch recipe on depending if I need solid biomass or need to convert leaves/wood to normal biomass... it seemed to work fine but then it started feeding wood even when I switched the recipe to solid biomass

does the belt coming off storage just send whatever and I got lucky at first? just want one thing in each storage?

[rough shore]

yes the belt just sends it doesnt know what its sending

[feral vector]

ok thank you

[rough shore]

just handcraft the biomass and automate the solid biomass since handcrafting biomass is really fast

[feral vector]

yeah I just got lazy lol figured I might as well automate the wood -> biomass since I wasn't using that constructor for anything 😛

[rough shore]

u could do wood -> biomass -> solid biomass but its honestly a waste of power

[feral vector]

I should be good for a while I have 9 biomass burners with 200 solid fuel each and I'm only using like 1/4 of my capacity

[rough shore]

just try to unlock coal power soon cuz biomass is just 🤮

[karmic portal]

Anyone wanna join my world? ive got basic steel and coal

[tall lantern]

#1201555265942724758

[karmic portal]

Can you look in media and tell me if anyone would have to get these mods to play with me or are they client side??

[tall lantern]

I don't play modded

[dense violet]

the milestones are a tutorial - pick a milestone and go

[dense violet]

all mods have to be shared by everyone
also if you're new I highly recommend you don't use mods

[scarlet rose]

i only now found out about the 1.2 update, and holy shit the vehicle path update... its a blessing

[karmic portal]

alright, ill just power through, thanks though.

[trim yarrow]

I'm really hoping they add a way for trucks to reverse out of loading bays with the new truck pathing in 1.2. All my loading stations are set up for drive in-reverse out and it's gonna take so long to change them all.

[tired kernel]

is there a shortcut to build from tasklist?

[cyan mesa]

In like an hour I will finish phase 5, thanks coffee stain amazing game, waiting for DLC!

[dense violet]

I don't think you'll see dlc any time soon, the phases are more of a tutorial for you to plan your own game/projects afterwards

[autumn ravine]

What is raining kittens and puppies do

I have my world set to it and it’s not even raining

[dense violet]

might be borked in exp. It's gonna have bugs

or maybe you haven't triggered whatever it's supposed to do

[empty spoke]

is ionized fuel better than nitro rocket fuel?

[tall lantern]

I read weather takes some time to kick in and may require a session reload or game restart

yesn't

[dense violet]

for jet packs? mostly got better stats.

[empty spoke]

more like for power plants

[dense violet]

I mean rocket fuel is silly for power too

so ionised is sillier

[tall lantern]

on its own it's like neutral over rocket fuel, because it's so expensive to make

power-wise

[cyan mesa]

So it's like ender dragon

[tall lantern]

depending on exact recipes, clocking, slooping you might get more or less out of it

but rocket fuel's so strong as-is and the T9 stuff so power-hungry that it's not the massive jump that previous tiers are, if it's a gain at all

[tall lantern]

that's exactly the comparison other folks have made before, yep

[vernal walrus]

The South Park "We can finally play the game" moment.

[dense violet]

basically, that's how I compare it to people
the milestones and phase can be accomplished with the dirtiest sloppiest factories , no real challenge except for what you put on it
so after you unlock everything you can make your own projects in a near creative world

it's much more like minecraft than other factory games

in terms of 'do what you find fun'

[lavish inlet]

When do i know i should upgrade my CPU for this game? Ive got a 4070 super and a 7600X atm, im willing to upgrade to 7800X3D for this fucking game 😭😭😭

[dense violet]

I'm going to make a 1800 HMF pm factory at some point 😛

[cyan mesa]

Yeah, I will think about other save on new game mode maybe

[wise junco]

dassa lotta frames

[cyan mesa]

Yoo thats insane XD

[dense violet]

nah xD
but don't need a new game if you feel like you ahve the basics down pat. I restarted a few times, but it's not for everyone
You could jsut make a world plan and create new factories now

[tall lantern]

not enough, you need more frames per second than your frames per second

[empty spoke]

damn i completely forgot that nitro rocket fuel is a alt recipe and i gotta pray for it now lmao

[tall lantern]

plenty of hard drives out there, just scan as you go

[empty spoke]

its more a quesiton of researching them that annoys me

[cyan mesa]

We'll see for now I'm tired of planning factories

[knotty bear]

How can I make my elevators longer from what they were when I placed

[dense violet]

fair 🙂

[tall lantern]

that's why you do it while you're exploring, so you're not sitting around waiting

[wise junco]

I get so much fun out of just the planning

[empty spoke]

neglected it until t9 so i dont miss out on recipes

[lavish inlet]

Whatv kind of projects do yall take on after completing the game?

[empty spoke]

ig going for the golden nut and while waiting, building prettier stuff

[tall lantern]

think I'm in the minority where I usually just... stop. I'm slow so I've usually done all my other stuff like nutting and unlocking all alts and whatnot

[real shale]

Optimise

[dense violet]

usually I would say you'd

1. pick final outputs
2. figure out what logistical challenges yo uwant to do - like mostly drones? or lots of trains?
3. figure out what kind of hubs you want - like really low tier hubs with lots of exchanges? really high tier hubs planned with great locations? something in between?

[real shale]

Please don't say it like that

[empty spoke]

do u guys think the game will always expand new tiers? like until we get to tier 20 or smth?

[tall lantern]

no

[real shale]

Phrasing!

[tall lantern]

I know what I said 😛

[cyan mesa]

no way honestly

[dense violet]

part of my next world will definitely have a large electronics factory that uses crystal purification and distilled sillica - the recipes look fun 🙂

[feral vector]

I should not have downloaded this game I can't stop

[tall lantern]

one day we might get a 2.0 or DLC-level expansion which might introduce some new tiers, but I'm not counting on that happening even with those

[empty spoke]

make a save with only biomass generator

sounds funnier

[dense violet]

nah that's too painful
now you could make a game where you can only use pig meat and sam to make nuclear power

you have to kill X pigs per min to feed your power station

[lavish inlet]

I just realised i need almost 10 GW of power to even turn on my nuclear power plant, my 16GW grid is going to cry

[dense violet]

power storage

[wise junco]

power storage it up!

[lavish inlet]

How many MW?

[dense violet]

each can do 100mwh

[lavish inlet]

ive got 300 right now and thats not lasting long

[empty spoke]

cant u theoretically softlock urself by being afk and ur power system shutdowns with no backup?

u could never turn it back up

[tall lantern]

no, you can always disconnect parts

[dense violet]

if you do 10x 100mwh you could run your nuclear facility for 6 minutes?

it probably needs longer than that to kick start though

[real shale]

Priority power switches

[empty spoke]

that would take days

[wise junco]

I want to make my nuclear plant... but I'm not ready for the whole uranium waste deal

[lavish inlet]

Ive got everything on priority switches so i can turn all of my factories off

[dense violet]

so probably 100 power storage woudl do especially if some of it is backed up by your main grid

[lavish inlet]

It aint that bad, first time player

[wise junco]

and that's why priority power switches are amazing

[tall lantern]

why? you just disconnect your power sections, bring 'em online one at a time, then reconnect

whoops, wrong reply

[wise junco]

lmao i figured, all good

[empty spoke]

bro said sections lol

[lavish inlet]

Im 25h into the project and im about halfway, so it just takes time

[real shale]

Factory

[tranquil bolt]

What do you do with nuclear waste

[real shale]

Yes....sections, that is how real power grids work

[keen flame]

consume

[cyan mesa]

I was thinking about doing nuclear before finishing the game too, then I saw singularity cells for ficsonium and started doing conveyor spaghetti just finishing the game xD

[tall lantern]

well, generally each factory/power plant will only have a few points where it connects to the wider grid

[lavish inlet]

I will see if that saves enough, not sure

[lavish inlet]

Plutonium rods and then sink

[wise junco]

I've been working on a project that ended up way bigger than intended, so... I'm caught in the middle

[tall lantern]

I normally intentionally build mine with a single connection point to the wider grid, so it's very easy to manually disconnect (though I've never needed to), or to put a [Priority] Power Switch there

[wise junco]

this is the way

[real shale]

Tbf if you put priority power switches on all connection points it should trip them all simultaneously anyway

Provided you didn't put them on different priority groups

[tall lantern]

presumably if you're using priority ones you've got some on another priority so they don'tall trip together 😛

[real shale]

I mean for an island, like if you have multiple connections to the same factory

[tall lantern]

ah yeah I see

[wise junco]

I've made a habit of, if at all possible, dedicated power circuits for generation. don't even give it a choice to trip. for example, i have a separate 7GW power grid that my rocket fuel setup powers. it's entirely isolated and is ONLY connected to those generators and all the inputs required. i call it my heartbeat grid

[real shale]

Power plants are the one exception I have to my "I don't care about interdependency rule"

[tall lantern]

feels it'd be easy to miss one somewhere if you're not careful, but I can see it as an option

[real shale]

I'm okay with factories relying on factories, but power plants? Nonono

[tall lantern]

keep it simple, minimise your failure points

[real shale]

I like the challenge of figuring out where my failure points are

And working around them

[placid totem]

i cant wait for mf 1.2

[real shale]

Interdependency kinda ruins that fun for me

[placid totem]

I CANT WAIT FOR MF 1.2

[tall lantern]

fair, I like stability in my builds

[real shale]

Heyyyy mines not unstable :P

[leaden turret]

looks at 1.2 having releases on EXP on tuesday

[tall lantern]

good news, you don't have to wait if you're on PC and don't mind being a guinea pig

[real shale]

I love being a guinea pig, I've always wanted to be once since I was a kid

[tall lantern]

haven't seen any game-breaking bugs in 1.2 unless you're French

[real shale]

There are a few I've seen so far

[placid totem]

no no no ill let all the other people who cant wait more than me be the guinea pigs

[real shale]

You'll be waiting for a very long time then

[tall lantern]

gamebreaking and hard to avoid beyond the old "it hurts when I do this" "well don't do that then"

[real shale]

Yeah there's two I know of

[placid totem]

damn can someone tell them to hurry up, ill buy them burgers if they do ❤️

[tall lantern]

like the hypertube blueprint one, easy to avoid by just not doing that right now

[real shale]

The hardlock one which I don't know what the cause is and the other one that doesn't let you build/dismantle after editing train timetables

[tall lantern]

ah, interesting, I saw the softlock one mentioned once, maybe it's more common

[real shale]

Yeah I had the softlock one happen to me

It's weird because you start seeing console controls and everything on kbm lmao

https://communityhighlights.satisfactory.video/dated/2021-04-20/#byt-y33wM7gRv5I_09_45_1 the treachery of images will forever be satisfactory-related, superceding the english-only server rule 😛

[real shale]

I love how following that clip is "SNUTTS DIRTY ASSHOLE"

[serene jolt]

Guys my trains say that it’s impossible to get from one station to another. But when I manually drive it it works

[leaden turret]

ass_hol_ 😛

[dense violet]

you likely have a station facing the wrong way

[leaden turret]

re: the community's love of Snutt, see https://communityhighlights.satisfactory.video/dated/2022-05-17/#byt-rI5lKbNepcY_30_49_1

(blame @lofty dew and @balmy kiln if you need to scrub your eyes out afterwards)

[dense violet]

stations have to be pointing the same direction as the incoming train, curve bit forward

[serene jolt]

I think it is. Are trains allowed to clip through walls? do I actually have to make tracks

(That don’t clip through walls. Obviously it needs tracks)

[tall lantern]

trains usually don't care about that sorta collision

[serene jolt]

W

[tall lantern]

so yeah, just make sure that driving your train forward enters the back of the station (platforms then the actual station bit)

[serene jolt]

Ok I’ll check the stations. Does having the Train go back and forth not work then? Does it need to be a loop?

[tall lantern]

you need an engine facing each way to do a reversing route

manual driving can reverse, but auto won't

[wispy tundra]

OMG I just realized
the regular orange Fuel is DIESEL
Lol. I didn't realize it until just now

[serene jolt]

I have that. Must be station facing the wrong way

[wispy tundra]

No wait
it's actually a fusion of Diesel and Kerosene, probably

[broken turtle]

Anyone particular farmiliar with manifolds? I have a belt feeding 270 material/minute into 7 foundries, by my math they should be consuming around 315, which means the last belt in theory should be less than 100% productivity. I'm new to the game and to complex logistics so I'm a bit confused what i'm missing here and why it's able to keep up

[tall lantern]

they're probably not keeping up, at least for long

[broken turtle]

They seem to be which is the confusing part

[tall lantern]

if you're using mk4 belts then there might've been some extra input backed up that's now able to make it in, but obviously that stock won't last forever

[broken turtle]

Could it be because of overstock pushing it further down the manifold? I should be short at the end but it's capping out with no slow down in sight

[rough shore]

manifolds wont magically make ur input more so its either ur math is wrong or ur math is wrong

[real shale]

Or my math is wrong

[wise junco]

no my math is wrong

[south sinew]

Are you using the same belt for output? perhaps some of the foundries can't output fast enough, so the input and output constraints are matched

[rough shore]

also by what ur saying ur doing 315 across 7 foundries wich means ur doing 45/min each foundry but ur feeding 270 which is exactly enough to feed only 6 foudnries so the last foundry shouldnt even get a single item

[tranquil bolt]

Anyone else have an AMD GPU? All the sudden adrenaline wont open, and my gpu is crashing.

[broken turtle]

Ahhh, that might be it let me check. I was confused because normally they slow down, it's getting late so I'm sitting here new to T3 belts thinking my math is way off

[zealous coral]

My game is crashing when I open blueprints , I'm not sure if it's cuz of my AMD tho

[south sinew]

You probably won't notice a problem if the input and output are slowed down by the same amount

[tranquil bolt]

I cant even get into adrenaline. Like it wont open even ran as admin

[broken turtle]

Yeah i just checked, it's mk3 across the board, every little inch. It's all going into a crate

I have to be missing something, or these foundries are not using 45ore/min

[south sinew]

they aren't using 45 each because they can't output 45 each

[dense violet]

it's very common for tiny bits of low mk belt exist inside of splitter sand mergers

especially if you ever build them on top of belts

[rough shore]

why are u doing 7 foundries tho not 6 if ur using 270

[broken turtle]

So i realized i'm not using 270/minute so that's why it's slowing down. It goes from a crate into the production line, which makes way more sense. I love this game but holy sometimes haha

The crate is full so it's slowing down storing it/pushing it out

[dense violet]

gotta be careful on the designs 🙂

[broken turtle]

Well it's just for now so i don't have to overclock/underclock while i'm still adding to the chain

[south sinew]

the 7th foundry only adds buffer

[rough shore]

but 6 foundires would be normally clocked

also if u were using smart splitters to manifold the last foundry wouldnt get anything

[broken turtle]

I don't have smart splitters just yet and i'm ramping production, so i'll be at 540 coming in for ore soon. Which should be enough to carry me into the next tiers, if anything it'll help me get mk3 belts everywhere

[rough shore]

just remember to not put all the 540 into the same mk3 belt

[broken turtle]

i've been avoiding looking stuff up besides the math and layouts sometimes so i'm probably behind on research

[dense violet]

unlock them quickly in the MAM , can get them very early

[undone citrus]

For things that need heavy oil residue will refineries accept packaged oil residue or nah

[wise junco]

no, must unpackage

[inner ruin]

do different nodes give out different rates?

[undone citrus]

Pain

But doable

[wise junco]

it do be painful

[undone citrus]

Only question is, is it worth packing it at the bottom of the hill, shipping it to the top and unpacking it just for looks or should I just pipe it

[dense violet]

anti - pain , it means you can reuse the containers instead of making them constantly

[wise junco]

my answer will 100% be different than everyone else's, i bet.

if i can run a neat pipeline, i'll pipeline it

[undone citrus]

I probably can

[wise junco]

(i'll accept the hate)

[dense violet]

up to you, just belt back the empties if you want

[undone citrus]

But I like decorating and there many a time where I've done things the harder way just for looks

Like shipping my iron ingots 20 meters to my iron factory to eradicate belt usage

[undone citrus]

Ooo... Drive them there and drive the empties back

I'm sold

[wise junco]

honestly i don't hate it

[robust wigeon]

Some recipes actually require packaged liquids, but iirc refineries do not use any of these recipes

[undone citrus]

Unfortunate

[robust wigeon]

Yeah, you won’t need to constantly produce packages, just unpackage -> reload empty packages -> drive -> fill packages -> drive -> repeat, you just need enough packages to fill the vehicle / saturate the belt you’re using and that’s it

it’s very nice

I think that was said though

[minor cedar]

guys can i use railways on blueprints?

[fervent pilot]

what's a good ratio for Rotors?

[wise junco]

yes

[minor cedar]

ok ty

[wise junco]

whatcha mean?

[minor cedar]

wait even when they are curved?

[fervent pilot]

wait nevermind i was thinking abt reinforced plates

im good thanks

[wise junco]

yes, i use 4 railway BPs, 2 super common and 2 not. i use a straight piece, a 90 degree turn, and a clockwise spiral and a counter clockwise spiral for elevation changes

[minor cedar]

u can turn them 90 degrees??

[wise junco]

lemme post a SS of my BP

[minor cedar]

ok

[wise junco]

#screenshots message

i also have wall outlets connected underneath to allow for easy power connections elsewhere

[feral vector]

rip I built all these foundations and a production chain over where all this iron was but they are all impure lol

[minor cedar]

ahh i c

i was tryna make a foundation one i saw this from the xclipse guy and thought i d try it out too

[wise junco]

xclipse is the bomb

he is how i learned trains

[fervent pilot]

mk 1 miner on an impure node is 30/m, right?

[minor cedar]

#screenshots message

[minor cedar]

yeah im using his guided playthrough series to help me through this game

[feral vector]

I'm trying to stop watching after like half the firt episode so I don't just copy someone lol

[wise junco]

imo, nothing wrong with building what you saw someone else build to a point. you learn. you'll run into your own problems and learn to fix them too

[fervent pilot]

is cast screws a good unlock?

[minor cedar]

im not copying his shit im taking HEAVY inspiration

lmao

[wise junco]

i used to love cast screws. i think it's still a good early game recipe

[minor cedar]

did u make ur railway blue prints on an mk2 blueprint thing it looks kinda big

[fervent pilot]

yeah, i just started a new world and just unlocked that and stitched plates

[wise junco]

stitched plates is a good one too

[wise junco]

ya, on the mk 2. i dont think you could get a full turn on the mk 1

[minor cedar]

yeah i only have mk1 rn

also are there more phases than 4 or are there just 4 phases?

[tall lantern]

cast screws is definitely just a free upgrade in the super early game, but it does still have tradeoffs as you get into later tiers (namely that you can't use alt rod recipes to change what you make the screws with)

there are 5 phases since 1.0

[minor cedar]

oh 5

[feral vector]

is 400m far to use belts to move iron early game lol

[wise junco]

naw

[feral vector]

I'm so sad I set up this huge foundation and factory near all these iron nodes and they are all impure XD

[wise junco]

expect early game to just have conveyors... conveyors everywhere

[feral vector]

I could have built it way closer to my starting area if I knew these new nodes weren't much better

impure nodes need the same power for half the output?

[wise junco]

correct

[inner ruin]

do different nodes have different rates?

[wise junco]

yes. impures have the slowest, normals are double that of impures, and pures are double that of normals

[feral vector]

welp at least I learned about impure nodes relatively early game

[inner ruin]

no i mean will different coal nodes have different rates

[feral vector]

I'm so sad lol I thought my new base location was incredible

[wise junco]

yes, depending on whether they are impure, normal, or pure

[inner ruin]

ah this is impure

[mortal ginkgo]

impure nodes are amazing #nobias

[wise junco]

i cackled as i started seeing you type @mortal ginkgo

[inner ruin]

its slow

[grim carbon]

can the numbers that come up in the Modeller be relied on?

the input box on the left has different numbers from the main display

[feral vector]

oh god how do I prevent incoming conveyor spaghetti when I start belting in all this ore

I made my new factory layout so clean but now it's going to shit ahaha

[wise junco]

you could run foundations to the area to keep everything straight

[feral vector]

I'm on a big foundation pad in the air hmm

I guess I can make straight lines of belts ahead of time then connect the incoming belts to them

[wise junco]

that's a good tactic

[inner ruin]

i tried doing this but i kinda sucked at it

[feral vector]

welp they are clipping through the foundation but the factory part of the belts is clean

[inner ruin]

how do i do that selfie thing

[rain wedge]

4 impure oc = 1 pure oc

[stable cloak]

well, first: do you have the playtest enabled

[inner ruin]

i found it

[split pond]

i have a question if on if i should reset lol

[harsh zodiac]

Why can't liquid trucks directly use the liquid they carry as fuel?

[inner ruin]

seperate tank

[harsh zodiac]

that is so stupid

[inner ruin]

alot irl dont

[undone citrus]

27.5/min

Trust

[main mantle]

So excited got a 32 inch 4k tv to play this on!

[stable cloak]

depends, why?

don't feel obligated to restart just because

[feral vector]

if I'm overproducing reinforced iron plates, I can just run the belt through a storage container to catch the extras right? or do I gotta split it and send some to storage and the rest to the assembler for my smart plating

[inner ruin]

either

[feral vector]

all my assemblers seem to be at 100% efficiency so I don't think I screwed anything up heh

god this game is addictive I was gonna eat like 3 hours ago but I just wanted to finish automating smart plates

[timber willow]

Depending on how much your doing I would say your second option you said with the smart plating since if I remember right you you need reinforced for some endgame stuff like the superposition oscillators

[split pond]

idk im at t4 have everything planned out but having a hard time figuring out what to do

[warm finch]

just follow each of the milestones for each tier, they teach and guide you along the way to the next phase production step

[feral vector]

I'm trying to save half of them for later I'm just not sure how the game works yet so I'm not sure if going through a storage container works the same to save them as it would if I split it into a storage container

[timber willow]

If your diverting them with a smart splitter it will

[feral vector]

I'm doing two assemblers for reinforced iron plate -> merging them -> into a storage container -> belt from storage container into another assembler for smart plates

[timber willow]

Like main output to smart plating overflow to a storage

[feral vector]

I don't have smart splitters I'm just trying to set up something basic so I can explore lol

[split pond]

just use a regular splitter have half go twards a bin the other half twards a product line

[feral vector]

it seems like if the belt backs up they just pile up in the storage I think I got it sorted for now

[timber willow]

Ahh okay best bet then would be do what your doing but grind out for smart splitters when you can it will help you greatly in times like this

[feral vector]

yeah I think that is what I saw recommended, I just jury rigged it through a storage container, the extras should just pile up in the container still right?

[timber willow]

If the storage output is connected to the machine making smart plating then should back up reinforced

[feral vector]

seems to work fine with my stupid setup for now lol

[split pond]

god i wish there was a call section of this dc server

[feral vector]

yeah exactly like that, I'm making rotors and reinforced plates, putting them both through a storage, then the storage outputs for both go to an assembler

sorry for the newb questions lol I appreciate the input

this first decent factory has taken me so long, while I was doing this my other factorys were running and I have like 2 storage containers of screws, 1 or 2 of cables, almost 3 of plates, 1 or two of iron rods

[timber willow]

No worries everyone here was at the same point as you at one point or another

[split pond]

another help is satisfactory modler

[timber willow]

But yeah do that til you can get smart splitters and you should be fine

[west jackal]

You need RIP and smart plating for way more than just superposition

[feral vector]

I legit think this is pretty good for a first real factory

no spaghetti at all, everything has good ratios except I'm inputting 22.5 iron rods instead of 20 for the rotors

[timber willow]

Yeah was just mentioning you need plates for them when they asked, trust me I know lol 750+ hrs into this crazy game

[feral vector]

I did have to run like 1300 meters of conveyors from my starting area cause the nodes near here are all impure but that's not a big deal when I have 2 full storage containers of plates

[elfin berry]

Did we lose the the pure Limestone in the north-west? Unplayable.

[inner ruin]

no. i took it.

[timber willow]

Yeah once you get trains and later better trucks online those belt lanes will be slow as all heck lol

[feral vector]

that sounds so cool

so like... what do I do with these thousands of extra resources that piled up while I was building a factory lol...

run screws from a storage container into a production machine instead of producing them with constructors?

[timber willow]

Let them process for what your working on or sink them for point tickets

[west jackal]

Fair enough, just struck me as an odd item example

[feral vector]

this game has so much to do, I forgot about awesome tickets and the MAM

[timber willow]

Yeah figured as much lol yeah my first attempt at spo I droned in alot of the ingredients this time making a factory that makes all items on site outside stuff that needs to be brought in (had like 55+ drones doing way too much lol, not all 55 was on spo before I'm asked)

[timber willow]

Yeah tickets and mam are your best friend outside the overlord ada lol

[west jackal]

Thats... a lot of drones. If you were bringing in so many items maybe trains would've worked. I think drones cant handle large quantity of items like trains can

[random haven]

Im so close to coal power and then I can dismantle all of my biofuel generators t.t

[feral vector]

keep them for backups they only run if you need it 😛

[random haven]

I also need to start thinking of having a power hub lmao.

[hearty marlin]

bro is the game restarting?

[fervent pilot]

so, im doing a bunch of math for my coal power plant. I have 12 coal mahcines (180coal/minute, 540 water/min) I'm using 5 water extractors, but my mk.1 pipes dont carry enough water! can anyone help with this?

[warm finch]

!wikisearch cg

[raven axle]

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

[warm finch]

@fervent pilot here you go

[fervent pilot]

thank you, that's very helpful

i ended up trying to use 2 pipes connected in one area

[wicked birch]

oh so you can post links here :D, I wasnt sure

[warm finch]

links are not allowed

[fervent pilot]

it's kinda the same thing

[warm finch]

not really. you cannot push more than what the pipe allows. however, you can add more into the pipe when the water in another area of the pipe has been used

[fervent pilot]

how do i go into camera mode

[warm finch]

P

[timber willow]

it worked for awhile but yeah your not wrong on the trainfront hence the rebuiling i meantioned a bit ago

[warm finch]

and you can press H to put away whatever you're holding in your hand

[fervent pilot]

where do i post screenshots

[timber willow]

#screenshots

[feral vector]

probably the screenshots channel XD

[warm finch]

Drones are excellent for high value, low volume items. For example, oscillators, turbo motors, etc. They are terrible for low value, high volume items. Trains are superior in that regard.

One exception that immediately comes to mind is packaged nitrogen. You get 4 units of nitrogen per package which is VERY handy.

[fervent pilot]

im using one pipeline for one side, and another pipeline for the other side, but i connected them in the middle so there is ample water to both sides

[timber willow]

yeah first drones i had were bringing buaxite ore and nitrogen gas from the two pure nodes on the west coast when i moved from turbo to rocket fuel the first time @warm finch but now both on trains since wanting to do more trains over that many drones again

[warm finch]

is it working?

[fervent pilot]

neither side needs more than 300 ml^3/s

[fervent pilot]

yeah

[warm finch]

A good ratio for coal gens is 8 gens to 3 water extractors 8:3)

[fervent pilot]

ah ok

yeah im kinda winging it

[feral vector]

ahhhh the space elevator animations are badass

forgot I was supposed to send up some smart plating lol I have like triple what I need

[warm finch]

I love watching the space elevator transition from phase to phase.

[feral vector]

yeah that was so cool lol

didn't think it would build stuff up there right away

I've had the space elevator dismantled for like 5 hours of gameplay lol just messing around with my second factory

bruh they go from wanting 50 to wanting 1000

[hearty marlin]

is there any hard drive that allows me to skip coal on the steel playe thingy?

[weak bloom]

A drone will not take off until it is full and won't unload until the drone port is empty, right?

[lapis knot]

I think so

[feral vector]

lol yeah I know it scales crazy that just seemed like a lot for the first one

[rain wedge]

yeap

[rain wedge]

i hope they add copy paste feature for buildings tbh (not blueprint, like copy pasting recipe but for buildings)

[peak wasp]

if i have a normal oil source that means it cant be overclocked and stays 120pm right?

except the somber things

[normal orbit]

can be clocked to 300

[peak wasp]

wait im stupid

also should i pick up alien remaints almost never jave space for them

[normal orbit]

worth a lot of tickets

[cyan leaf]

How many coal gens to use when just unlocked coal gens?

[hexed phoenix]

x2 Recipe Prices and x5 Power consumption is nice.. If you really love to beat your head with a stick

[normal orbit]

i hope they fix the idle on x2 when machines refill :p

[hexed phoenix]

I’m 4 hours in, barely got Iron Plates and Iron Rods running.. Been manual crafting for a little too long :D

So havnt experienced this yet

[normal orbit]

its more late game when you get recipes which use more than half a stack of items/fluids

cause the consumption happens at end of cycle, you get idle period until they refill

[mortal ginkgo]

ultra impure silly suggestion: underclock machines to 50% kek

[normal orbit]

doesnt help

clocking affect the speed of the cycle, not the amount of materials

[sterile blade]

Just... Downclock it by a couple Sloops...

[normal orbit]

dunno what would be easier. letting machines inventory also be affected by the multiplier. or if they can make the material consumption be at the start of the cycle instead of end, so they can refill while they work. then downclocking would help

[sterile blade]

How did they deal with the more nasty recipes anyway..?
Eg: Uranium Fuel Unit needs half a stack of cells per production cycle normally; is one supposed to feed the machines 2 stacks with a x4 input multiplier...?

[normal orbit]

x4?

[sterile blade]

... Also, this is #satisfactory, not #satisfactory-experimental xD

[jagged nymph]

it only goes up to 2x

[sterile blade]

Well, that solves that :P

[jagged nymph]

i wonder though is there any recipe that requires more than half a stack

[sterile blade]

Nope

[jagged nymph]

then no issues, great!

i mean im sure they wouldve thought of that

if there was

[sterile blade]

That was my whole worry xD

[hybrid pewter]

Guys is 100% aluminum factory overkill never got past aluminum

[normal orbit]

none i've found, but a few require half a stack which means a full stack at x2

[peak wasp]

should i always make residual plastic and fuel?

[sterile blade]

.... surely they would never not think about that...

[jagged nymph]

if you want to

[sterile blade]

I do wonder if they actually kept that into consideration when they made recipes that output more than 1/4 of a stack, making those recipes impossible to run at max efficiency when slooped (if a recipe outputs more than half a stack per production cycle, it'll always go idle for a while after one cycle).

... I might just be talking about Ionized Fuel 😅

[hexed phoenix]

I’ll take the experience with that when it comes.. at the moment I got 5 Biomass Burners for 1 miner, 2 smelters and 2 constructors :D

Its gonna be fun

[sterile blade]

BTW, you should be able to use the same warkaround used when machines stall due too big of an output rather than input: setting the machine to a higher clock, so the idle-time ends up being offset by the reduction in time of each production cycle (so the machines, overall, produces things at the same speed as if it was running at 100% without going idle)...

It won't fix the idling, but at least production should keep up xD

[normal orbit]

yea, mebbe

would need to math that out if they dont wanna fix it

might also be possible to have two machines alternate

[mortal ginkgo]

I just love the irony of 2x multiplier making solid biofuel less power efficient compared to biomass.

Very kek worthy.

[jagged nymph]

theres a few things like that actually

[mortal ginkgo]

mhm.

[sterile blade]

When this happened to me (Ionized Fuel at max sloop), I just clocked to the max possible, to make sure the nominal output was actually reached (the limited amount of input aviable limited the total production anyway)

[normal orbit]

yea, it also makes recycled plubber bad :p and promotes alt recipes which skip steps like instant scrap being a lot better

[mortal ginkgo]

I think ficso fuel rod completely removes itself from the party kek

[sterile blade]

That's an interesting "downside" ^^

[sterile blade]

Don't Sloops still make it worth it?

[mortal ginkgo]

this is where I kinda feel meh about the new game modes.

there could be a secret recipe or reward to make somersloops. it could be an intense recipe etc for what its worth

[sterile blade]

I'm not following... what do you mean?

[hexed phoenix]

Might just do Liquid Biofuel at this point.. :D

[supple pulsar]

Can we get first person driving camera?

[mortal ginkgo]

we could have a somersloop recipe so we could have somerlsoops to use in every step of recipes etc

[mortal ginkgo]

with mods yes

[jagged nymph]

that jsut ruins the entire point of the gamemode though?

[sterile blade]

Ah... Eh, seems a bit too lore-breaking for vanilla

[jagged nymph]

that too

[mortal ginkgo]

it could be a very late game recipe that asks for alot of stuff including my mom

[jagged nymph]

i dont think that would fit on the belt

[mortal ginkgo]

EXCUUUUUUUUUSE ME.

mk7 belt confirmed, double size belt lets go

[sterile blade]

That sounds a bit more... lore-reasonable, so to speak... It's how I always imagined a possible "more Sloops" situation, either via mods or not ^^

[hexed phoenix]

Depends at what expense..

10000 TPR = 1 Somersloop..

[jagged nymph]

tpr?

thermal propulsion rocket you mean?

[mortal ginkgo]

sure. i mean it could be a "wannabe sloop" that is doubw output but worse power demand etc

[hexed phoenix]

Ye

[jagged nymph]

nah, 100,000 ballistic warp drives for one somersloop shard (you need 100 somersloop shards for one somersloop)

[sterile blade]

The Parent Required
Aka: yo mama

[mortal ginkgo]

i just think 2x resource goes really.. exponential

[jagged nymph]

i mean yeah thats how that works

[hexed phoenix]

Ah yeah BWD was the one I was thinking about.. Sorry my brain aint braining :D

[mortal ginkgo]

that pasta really asking for alot kek

[sterile blade]

ada already has some things she respawns to when you type them in chat

[dusk gate]

For example, if I want to get someone's blueprint for a building, where should I upload the blueprint file to? So I can use it in the game.

[rancid turret]

heresy

[prime basin]

she does?

[jagged nymph]

yea

lemme find the wiki page

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/ADA

[old parrot]

the new weather is such a vibe

i made a new world for the 1.2 and i was waiting for a manifold to fill up and it started raining

i forgot i turned it on the highs setting

[prime basin]

it aint workin

[unkempt blade]

it's on the wiki

no, but that's honestly not the worst thing.

Thx

[clear schooner]

is it possible to have stable and exp installed at the same time via steam? i dont want to redownload every time i want to switch branches

[leaden turret]

install one, copy and paste to a new folder, add as a non-steam game, install the other

[floral heron]

I hbaven'ts played since update 3, do hard drvie work the same on the choice of recipe ? I have two particuliary good recipe (i think, it's copper rotor and modular frame with screw) and I can't choose. Do recipes not choosen can be obtained later on ?

[clear schooner]

if i do that could i still join multiplayer from the copy?

[leaden turret]

I'm assuming you're wanting to use multiplayer with both? I have no idea 🤷‍♂️

[clear schooner]

guess i'll find out. thanks for the tip

[leaden turret]

you don't have to choose when they ping, you can choose later.

recipes can still be chosen later on

[floral heron]

I saw that, it's more about the recipe i discard, will it be proposed at another choice ?

[leaden turret]

yup, although I'm not sure what happens if you store it for later

[peak wasp]

is there pipe version of conveyor in wall?\

[hard stirrup]

Btw are they planning to increase max build lengh?

Im building a 100×100×9

With 20 floors

And the 10 build limit is slowing me down

[jagged nymph]

time to make 2400 screws

[peak wasp]

i think theres a mod for unlimited build length

[hard stirrup]

Im playing vannila but i might look into that

[jagged nymph]

theres a mod called "infinite zoop" that allows for 2d zooping and increased limit in each direction

its a pure qol mod, as it doesnt allow you to do anything you cant do in vanilla, just saves time building

[peak wasp]

cant imagine doing all that witoput it

[hard stirrup]

Its a multiplayer server and we have 1.5mill concrete

So ima use it all

Only issue gonna be windows but i will fix that when i need to

[peak wasp]

there is im just blind

Whomever coded the elevator is my favorite person

its okay, i can never see the ketchup until someone kshows me where it is

thats so real

and its always literally right in front of your face

[subtle mason]

Coal power my beloved

[ornate saffron]

ADHD hyper fixation, Im thinking about satisfactory not ketchup

[subtle mason]

I love coal power now ill never have to fucking fuel my stupid bases with stupid solid biofuel

[hard stirrup]

While elevators are slow, they are very cool

[subtle mason]

real

[jagged nymph]

the reason the biomass burners are so annoying is to encourage you to automate power

[ornate saffron]

they wouldnt do taht is a automation game 😄

[jagged nymph]

Mornign all. I was curious if modding Satisfactory disabled the achievements? Thanks

[trail dune]

I don't have the game YET, but I plan to get it on PlayStation. Any tips?

[leaden turret]

never say never.

may inspect your factory anyway

[leaden turret]

if you have friends you wanna play with on PC, you'll be s.o.l. for a while.

[earnest dock]

How big is 400 radiation radius?

Thank you

[jagged nymph]

should i get dsp or factorio

[earnest dock]

Do you want to build cozy little houses for doggos?

[brazen fulcrum]

Factorio is life consuming IMO

[jagged nymph]

so dsp or factorio

[earnest dock]

Why not both and a second monitor to increase your productivity

[jagged nymph]

🤔

[earnest dock]

Both games are great

[jagged nymph]

im gonna get dsp cause its on sale

[leaden turret]

-# I already have three

[earnest dock]

3 more and you can play eve too )

[leaden turret]

I don't think my desk could house the computer, nas, and the requisite VESA mounts for 3 additional monitors

[jagged nymph]

my desk is so small that both of my monitors hand off the back of it and are only supported by the wall

if i moved my desk forward my monitors would fall off the back

[leaden turret]

monitor riser, put stuff under monitor, increase efficiency

[ornate saffron]

I should do this I have a sit and stand but my monitors are never at a comfy level

[leaden turret]

that's where VESA arms may be preferable, greater flexibility

[ornate saffron]

I{ just need to add 5 inches so ill just build a riser

[leaden turret]

just don't get a single arm for two monitors, PITA to balance.

can discuss in #off-topic-tech / #off-topic-general further

[keen flame]

satisfactory is SO realistic they even added the machines' heating to the game. my laptop is accurately simulating it

[leaden turret]

back when I had a 980, I had to cap the FPS to 30 so the GPU wouldn't try to boil water

[ornate saffron]

My laptop does this too. Although its a bonus in the winter as the warehouise is usually 5c if im lucky during the winter months

[plush trellis]

Ok so I like trains because they fast and are good at long distances but I don’t want to use trains all the time. I would use drones but I would need need to make sure I have packed fuel

[keen flame]

i like trains because i'm lowk kinda autistic

[plush trellis]

Same fr fr

[leaden turret]

1.2 makes vehicle autopilot paths more like building train tracks

[plush trellis]

?

[keen flame]

what tier is drones

[plush trellis]

7/8 I think

[ornate saffron]

Thats not so bad ytou make one drone transprt fuel to the rest. Early game PDF is easy later you can switch to batteries Or i prefer NRF

[plush trellis]

PDF..? Nrf…?

[ornate saffron]

Packaged diluted fuel and Nitro rocket fuel

[keen flame]

uh, which one?

[plush trellis]

8…?

[ornate saffron]

NRF is slightl;y better then batteries and youll likely make some for power anyways

[plush trellis]

It’s definitely the second one of the 2

[keen flame]

alrighty

[ornate saffron]

yes t8

needs Alum, Motors, and Radio control units

[keen flame]

is there a way to toggle off dimensional depot

instead of just "use from inventory first" and then watching out for the numbers

[ornate saffron]

no its either us inv first or depot first. no on or off

[keen violet]

i played this game a long time ago but havent played in a long time anyone wanna play ( no mic )

[plush trellis]

The geysers (that the drone port is located) has some crude oil like 700ish meters away

[ornate saffron]

seems ideal ^_^

[plush trellis]

So what i package them into what type of fuel again?

[ornate saffron]

to be clear batteries are a solid choice. id just rather use the sulfer for rocket fuel

[leaden turret]

#1201555265942724758

[ornate saffron]

if you have the Packaged Diluted fuel recipe its a good choice

if you have Well pressurizer you could go Nitro Rocket fuel.

[plush trellis]

It’s 2,6000 meters away from my home base so it uhh

[keen flame]

can someone help me figure out an optimal train path to carry products from 1767, 2111 to around -200, 2300

[real shale]

Best part about nitro rocket is you can use it far earlier than you can use the base rocket fuel recipe

[plush trellis]

GASP. There were im roughly at

[keen flame]

what are you making?

i'm making stuff for oil products

that seemed like the best place to do that

[keen violet]

there's a lot of waiting in this game

[plush trellis]

Hopefully to automate package and then fuel to power my drone port

[keen flame]

you can always just go on an exploration or make new parts of your factory while waiting

[plush trellis]

I have oil stuff somewhere else

Somewhere closer to my main factory. I have a slight problem with to much stuff f

[ornate saffron]

if you choose to. Nothing is stopping you from working on other projects such as transportation line (i like setting up power towers for zip lining), Exploration, expanding power production

[keen flame]

around the\

500, 1000 lake?

wait no that's too low

but you know what i mean

[frail valley]

how many of the hardrives should i save for the tech tree , or should i just upload them all to MAM ?

[plush trellis]

Actually no -2300, 700 ish area for crude oil

[keen flame]

oh i see

i just assumed everyone made their main factory where i made it lol

given the "a smart pioneer makes their base near an iron source" and the iron source is right there

[plush trellis]

Where is your base located ?

[keen flame]

[solar loom]

How do I get the hard drive for a sulfur research AND scan it

[ornate saffron]

Hard drives are In Crash sites. You need to explore to find them.

You use the mam to scan harddrives

Fun fact you can place a mam anywhere hit research then delete it

[solar loom]

Yep, that I knew

[solar loom]

I just want to scan it and then get it back for a reserch

[ornate saffron]

Im sorry I dont understand.

Are you trying to research the sulfur branch of the mam or hardrives. They are different unrelated things

[zealous coral]

Why is there a hard drive option in the awesome shop for 100tickets that's uselss

[solar loom]

I want to research the Sulfur branch, and then use that same drive for a scan, is that possible

[stray loom]

no, once you do a research in the tree it consumes the hard drive

but there are like 6 extra hard drives more than you need for everything iirc so you dont miss out

[solar loom]

Okayy, thank you

[timber willow]

its for those with way too many tickets and dont wanna hunt down the crash sites

[ornate saffron]

thank you for chiming in

[solar loom]

where do i find sam

[grim quail]

What's the world randomization about?

[silk epoch]

hey quick question anywone know if you can disable the experimental banner in the corner of your screen when playing in experimental?

[tall lantern]

no, it's there intentionally

[silk epoch]

sad

[white dawn]

#1201555265942724758

[viral iron]

Ohhhh ok sorry

And thank you

[muted glacier]

So how do i unlock daisy chaining

[ornate saffron]

MaM

[trail dune]

daisy chainig?

[muted glacier]

Is ot caterium?

[white dawn]

A new feature available in the Experimental branch; can hook power lines from machine to machine. (Reminder that Experimental questions should go to #satisfactory-experimental btw)

[trail dune]

ohh ok

[white dawn]

Note that you can do it quite easily already even without the new Experimental feature. Put a building in a blueprinter, use beams to embed a wall socket, dismantle the beams, hook up the machine to the socket, save blueprint. :)

[muted glacier]

Oh sorry

[little timber]

I just built my first train station

Is building 647 fuel power generator worth it?

litterally can see where i gave up and started putting machines and belts whenver there was enough (or not) space

[wispy tundra]

God in heaven this game has taken over my life

I'm here at rehearsal for my singing group and I can't stop thinking about getting home to finish decorating my Fuel power plant and start building my trains

[hexed phoenix]

This is the way.

[little timber]

So relatable

I once dreamt about finishing some mega projects

[wispy tundra]

I literally went to sleep 5am cuz building the power plant just because I wanted to see the GW in my electric grid

[little timber]

How much GW is your goal?

[inner ruin]

yes

[zealous coral]

TW

[inner ruin]

ZW

[little timber]

LOL

PW

[inner ruin]

imagine 🤣 thats gotta be more energy than the universe

[little timber]

I wanted to build a 161GW powerplant but realised i will be building 648 generators

[wispy tundra]

I actually thought about it in terms of how many crude oil nodes I wanna commit to it

[inner ruin]

youll end up Back To Someone Elses Future with that much gw 🤣

[little timber]

Lmaooo

[zealous coral]

i got a 115GW plant with only 168 generators

overclock ur generators trust

[wispy tundra]

Sooooo 3GW for that plant. Bring my grid to 6.6GW. Which is enough for now, I'm only consuming 2GW

[little timber]

Fair tbh what i did was calculate it to have even number of refineries and generators, ended up with 200 generators

[inner ruin]

i managed to power up 8 coal reactors using mk3 belts and mk2 miners

[little timber]

Thought about it but i dont have much power shards

[wispy tundra]

I'm still in early phase 3, so I'm not building these types of ridiculous stuff... Yet. haha

[zealous coral]

go around te map for like 2 hours trust

i ended up getting sythetic power shards and now i have 15,000 in storage doing nothing

[little timber]

Dont you got refineries? Then u just need 2 recipes and make it easier

I can show you my model its pretty simple

[zealous coral]

the time it will take to get the power shards will save you 3x more time than building 700 generators man

[little timber]

Good point actually

[zealous coral]

what is it is it rocket fuel

[little timber]

Maybe in end game i will do that

[wispy tundra]

I didn't hunt for many hard drives

[little timber]

Yes rocket fuel

[zealous coral]

u dont need to wait till end game, if u want i can join ur world and go around collecting slug

[little timber]

Its tedious and time consuming

Nahh thank you tho

[wispy tundra]

Yup

[zealous coral]

placing down 700 generators when you can lower it down to 280 is even more tedious 😭 my game would give out at 400 gens

[little timber]

Plus im playing on a cracked version cuz im broke

[midnight widget]

Hello, does anyone use this mod : Community Railway Set ? I've had it for a long time now and have never had any issues, but recently I've been having problems with all Blueprints that include turns (like 90-degree turns, for example), and the game no longer recognizes them as a single track, so the train derails. Do you know how I can fix this?

[stuck canopy]

feel ya, 110 hours in last 2 weeks

[abstract girder]

Just yesterday in my dream I heard a line saying that the Pure Iron recipe isn't effective and shouldn't be used, and I was thinking about it at breakfast and decided it was a dream. I didn't watch any videos, so I must have seen this in my dream.

[stuck canopy]

its effective if you ran out of iron ore but got spare power, water is pretty much just pain in ass to get

[abstract girder]

So, I don't think iron ore is something that will run out; in the game, we have almost 100,000 that we can mine per minute. :D

[bold heron]

what was the maximum number of biomass burners per solid biofule constructor ?

[zealous coral]

i use pure iron, copper and caterium. not a single smelter in my entire world instead i have like 350 refineries

[abstract girder]

This means a lot of water usage, don't let the environmentalists see this game (I'm actually an environmentalist :D)

[civic merlin]

Water pumps are huge, and they are not stackable. They are the true limited resource…

[ornate saffron]

you can only get
9007199254740991/min

[unkempt blade]

jeez that's like 144 million per day!

[unkempt blade]

call me when you run out of water

[zealous coral]

what the point of batteries since drones can take all fuel now

[unkempt blade]

to spark joy

[cedar iris]

lizard doggos can find power slugs

[little timber]

Should i build another power augmenter, i already got one

[distant pilot]

They’re a really good fuel in general

[cedar iris]

that's not divisible by 120 so there must be something else (maybe an integer limit?)

[little timber]

Oooooh ty

[zealous coral]

converters maybe

[cedar iris]

no problem

[zealous coral]

its random tho, the doggos won't get them guaranteed at a set rate

[distant pilot]

But actually you have a good point, their only use beyond fuel is for super state computers (supercomputer alt) now that magnetic field generators don’t use them

[zealous coral]

OC supercomputers all the way

[unkempt blade]

it's actually just my social security number squared

[distant pilot]

Ew no

[little timber]

Guys whats the input slot for thr alien power augmenter

[distant pilot]

Why would I use that much aluminum for supercomputers

[distant pilot]

Alien power matrices

[zealous coral]

u can 3x ur power grid with alien power matrixes

[distant pilot]

Which require tier 9 tech to research

[warm remnant]

i got base on dune desert, i wonder if i should belt caterium ingots and make fused quickwire/Wire with it. Is it going to to be problematic later on. plan to leave pure node next to quartz for circuit boards

[little timber]

Ohh nvm then

[distant pilot]

Not necessarily, it increases the augmenter boost from 10% to 30%

[zealous coral]

u can have 10 augmenters

[distant pilot]

Which is 18% more power in your network compared to not using them

[unkempt blade]

just do what seems fun

[zealous coral]

its not a 300% boost then?

[distant pilot]

But I’m not even sure you could make enough matrices to supply all of them constantly

[warm remnant]

i try go efficiently sometimes

[unkempt blade]

funficiency is more important

[distant pilot]

And that 10th boosted augmenter takes you from 280% to 300%, which itself is only a 5% relative boost

[civic merlin]

How about inlands only?

[distant pilot]

You’d be better off burning whatever you’re using to make those diamonds for power and let your one or two augmenters boost that instead

[zealous coral]

i wouldnt bother with power matrixes

[normal orbit]

thats just a bad way to look at it, each augmentor will give you same amount of extra power regardless. if one adds 100gw then 10 adds 1000gw

[zealous coral]

no i think they give more
