satisfactory

[hearty marlin]

oh its white

[hollow holly]

Yeah there should a concrete default swatch in the customiser

Yeah

[floral sparrow]

Do you think cast screws is worth using over default screw recipe if I'm tier 3 and don't have any other relevant alts?

Setting up a rotor factory

[golden nexus]

yes

[wild hollow]

Doesn't cast screws just straight up skip one processing step with zero drawbacks?

I guess the ratios are different but still

[golden nexus]

It has more pro's than that 😉

[floral sparrow]

I wanted to confirm because I'm looking at it and it does look like a straight upgrade 😅

[hidden sluice]

Is daisy chaining in 1.2 something you have to research?

[golden nexus]

yup

[hidden sluice]

Blergh

[golden nexus]

its not cheap either

[wild hollow]

Oh?

[hidden sluice]

Hehe, of course it is not

[golden nexus]

its less machines, less power, less space, fits better with others, means you can do other odd thingsl ike use exactly the same layout for rplate and rotor 😛

[wild hollow]

Oh, good point!

I guess the only drawback is that production planner tools are slightly harder to configure, but only slightly lol

[golden nexus]

i avoid them actually, but thats just me

[wild hollow]

Yeah, I use all tools available to me 😛 But I understand not wanting to use external tools.

[golden nexus]

the tools tend to put out odd numbers, they tend ot workk the wrong way around eg how many items vs how much you can extract from a node

so i just max a node.....

but i also build in a scalable method as well which means i can change / replace parts of facotries

[smoky flame]

If a belt has stopped, is there an easy way to find out which direction it's pushing?

[golden nexus]

you can see its direction

[keen flame]

yes by looking at its curvy parts

and also you can just demolish and remake it

[golden nexus]

the belt does in fact not stop, the items do

this also means you can look on the underside which is going the opposite direction to the top side

[smoky flame]

What do you mean by curvy parts

[keen flame]

the

u shaped texture

of the conveyor

[supple canopy]

yea don't use it for iron for instance I'd say

[smoky flame]

The thing is, it's hidden by the items on the belt, which is why it isn't easy to see

[keen flame]

what does this entail

iron ore is limited?

[golden nexus]

How can't you not tell where its coming from / to?

[golden nexus]

yeah to 92,100/min (infinite amount though)

[keen flame]

well just find its start and end points and look at their connection points then

[keen flame]

oh you mean like that

[smoky flame]

Because the belt has stopped and the items on it is stationaery, and there isn't an easy way to immediately determine which direction it's going to

[golden nexus]

so pure for iron tends to be bad or pointless because there is so much of it

[golden nexus]

but you can't see either end of the belt?

[keen flame]

well yea but i am not going to be transporting iron ore from across the map

[golden nexus]

then grab an item off it and see which way it slides

[keen flame]

also most things with iron work fine with impure lol

[golden nexus]

yeah you don't do that either.... but if your doing max builds you need multipl production factories anyway

[golden nexus]

if you do pure, then you need to ship the water instead

[stoic hedge]

any seed actually mess with world generation cuz i spammmed numbers but nothing edited

[golden nexus]

thing about hte game is using about 15-20 nodes you can complete it in in reasonable timeframe

if... you are effective with the nodes

[keen flame]

isnt the map handmade

[stoic hedge]

🤷

[keen flame]

i dont think they can make it procedurally generated out of the blue

[ornate frost]

The seeds only affect resource node positions types, not position mb, if you have the randomizer on

[keen flame]

all players having the same map makes sf good imo

[ornate frost]

The map is handcrafted

[golden nexus]

1.2 has seed for random nodes which does indeed shake things up a bit

[keen flame]

from what i can see being able to discuss the game with exact coordinates and measurements adds a layer of depth to the conversations

and every old player knows the map by heart

[golden nexus]

it also results in the copy / pasta tutorial problem as well

[spare prism]

[keen flame]

that‘s the least of my concerns with it

that‘s a them problem

if someone needs tutorials

to be able to make anything st all

[golden nexus]

I mean have a look at this for power generation in the normal spot 😛 #screenshots message

[keen flame]

id rather build something that would make most ppl here say „wtf“ than copy someones work

[hollow holly]

Same here

I prefer having my own disorganized mess than someone else work

[stoic hedge]

I still wish the game was procedurally generated tho,

[golden nexus]

the new random nodes do shake things up....

[keen flame]

could be cool yeah but WAY too much work to make that for this game

[stoic hedge]

I found oil in grass feilds 🙁

[stoic hedge]

all we can do is hope 🙏

[golden nexus]

I was saying.... coal power? #screenshots message

checkout the SE part list as well.....

[ornate frost]

I dont. I think having one handcrafted map is far superior

It feels much much larger than it actually is

[stoic hedge]

is that what coal power gens look like now?

[hollow holly]

Yeha it allows wau better map design

[golden nexus]

no its fuel gens because thats where the oil was.... there is no coal there

[stoic hedge]

I feel like its a personal thoughts tbh but I am 50/50

[stoic hedge]

ohhhhh im slow lol

[golden nexus]

its funny though cause you get oil and caterium together and stuff

or oil and iron, so suddenly coke steel ingot makes sense

[ornate frost]

It really allows alt recipes to shine

[stoic hedge]

not the pepsi reaction 😭

[golden nexus]

the 4 pure uranium nodes in grass fields was a bit much though

[hollow holly]

i mean it could allow you to build hell of a nuclear setup

[unborn moss]

Feed them all into sinks as soon as you unlock it. Get your giant nut 😄

[golden nexus]

that actually does very little

[lost cloak]

did they make the wind-up time longer when crafting manually?

[golden nexus]

Its 35 points for uranium, So 240/min (mk2 miner) = 8,400 points, this is like sinking 3 motors/minute

[sly vortex]

when do you unlock that personal vehicle

[golden nexus]

which one?

[lost cloak]

the tiny thing?

[jagged nymph]

the tractor?

the factory cart? the explorer? the truck?

[sly vortex]

not the tractor

the one you drive yourself

[jagged nymph]

which one

[jagged nymph]

you can drive the tractor

[lost cloak]

if you mean the tiny shitmobile, its in the awesome shop

[jagged nymph]

and the truck and the explorer and the factory cart

and trains

[sly vortex]

oh

[golden nexus]

this does not narrow it down

[jagged nymph]

the only vehicle you cant drive is the drone

[sly vortex]

i didnt think you could drive the tractor

[lost cloak]

you can drive anything yourself. beside drones 🙁

[golden nexus]

cybertruck is debatable 😄

[naive palm]

😔 You can only surf the drone..

[jagged nymph]

we dont talk about that one

[golden nexus]

you can drive trains, tractor, truck, explorer, factory cart

[sly vortex]

i think i was thinking of the explorer

[lost cloak]

cybertruck is in the game?

are.. the windows broken? 😄

[jagged nymph]

yeah you ||sink a ticket||

[golden nexus]

you can unlock that as soon as you unlock the mam... with a lot of extra steps

[jagged nymph]

no but ||you can only turn left||

[lost cloak]

where does that joke come from?

[jagged nymph]

idk

i dont think its a specific reference

other than its just generally a piece of shit

[sly vortex]

ohhhh its in the mam

[golden nexus]

in one release the cybertruck used like no fuel and was super fast, so it got nerfed to extremes

[sly vortex]

i got no quartz so tractor is

[lost cloak]

the shitmobile? isnt that just in the awesome shop?

[jagged nymph]

btw just using blade runners is usually better than using the tractor

[naive palm]

you can get work done in the tractor, don't let people disrespect.

[sly vortex]

yeah i need extra space though

i want to make a new base

[lost cloak]

bunny hopping is unironically insane for getting around

[sly vortex]

but slide canceling is way faster

[lost cloak]

i think it beats all cars

[sly vortex]

it for sure does

[golden nexus]

theres a 2nd stage movement "tweak" as well without blade runners 😛

[sly vortex]

do tractors have health or anything because i need to drive off a cliff

[lost cloak]

you can drop the truck from orbit it wont even blow a tyre

[golden nexus]

Without blade runners 😛 #satisfactory-experimental message

[sly vortex]

yeah blade runners dont really make it better

[floral sparrow]

Deadlock has prepared me well for Satisfactory

[sly vortex]

i think the higher jumping might slow your acceleration

[golden nexus]

with blade runners... #satisfactory-experimental message

[golden nexus]

its over bounce and double strafing which do it

you can accelerate forwards while in the air.....

[sly vortex]

?

[golden nexus]

happens in most fps game if you can steer while in the air

[floral sparrow]

Newbie power question, but if I (for example) have a constructor that can produce 30 ItemX per minute and I'm only inputting enough resources for it to produce 25 ItemX per minute, is it using less or the same amount of power?

[golden nexus]

while processing it uses its full power, when idle it uses its idle power

[golden nexus]

suggest you unlock overclocking and underclock the machine

[sly vortex]

can i make a tractor follow me

and make a train of tractors

[golden nexus]

also other suggestion, in early game all recipies have nothing "odd" eg all unmbers add to equal numbers if done correctly

[floral sparrow]

If I want 45 ItemX per minute and a constructor only produces 30 per minute, is it always more power-efficient to simply build two constructors and underclock them both than to overclock one?

[golden nexus]

power usage when clocked is not linear

[sweet cypress]

I had a really neat idea that I'd hope could make it into satisfactory. Wouldn't it be neat to attach a boombox to vehicles in games and they play in proximity. You'd be able to set up lines that had tunes playing all around the map and an audio cue for finding your own vehicle if out exploring and get turned around. I wish there was a suggestions area.

[golden nexus]

it already works 😛

[tame jacinth]

Yes

[naive palm]

my ability to bounce between three different projects in three different areas and get nothing done is unmatched. How do I make a career out of this

[golden nexus]

work for goverment

[hollow hemlock]

Go into project management, preferably for government or maybe construction on those big infrastructure works

[golden nexus]

don't forget the first budget is only a guidelines / initial budget to get the project started

you always need more cable and rotor

[unreal sand]

Are they changing the stack sizes of rubber????

It just switched from 200 a stack to 100

[grim trellis]

Is 1.2 worth replaying the game for? Havent played since 1.0

[hollow hemlock]

It's worth replaying just because it is currently March

[grim trellis]

Wait a second

[hollow hemlock]

K, still March

[feral jay]

There's fluid trucks now, so that can change a few things

[hearty marlin]

guys how do i send pipes down at a 90 degrees angle?

[tranquil bolt]

Conveyor lifts

[feral jay]

Attach them to walls and use wall supports

[hearty marlin]

oh shit fr

[sand thicket]

Quick question, have we gotten any more info on the enamel tin mugs except a "its on the roadmap" years ago?

[golden nexus]

2 nudges is normally right for most things in game to do 90 degree bends

[grim trellis]

Hmm, interesting. I dont think I ever get far enough to incorporate them lmao

I really dry out when I get to nuclear.

[feral jay]

They're not "nudges". They're "bloops".

[hearty marlin]

what are nudgets

[golden nexus]

when placing a pipe, press h to pin it and then move it with arrows

[hearty marlin]

ok ima try it, cause i dont have enough tickets to buy wall support rn

[golden nexus]

its also not clear what your doing

[atomic geyser]

whats a good website to use for calculations? I tried Satisfactory Modeler on steam but that doesn't really give specific numbers

[hearty marlin]

what do you mean

[hearty marlin]

satisfactory tools

[hidden sluice]

satisfactory-calculator.com

[atomic geyser]

this one is good. Thanks

[hearty marlin]

yup

[unreal sand]

Is multiplayer broken on the experimental

[subtle mason]

Legit sucks ass

Only use this if you don't value yourself or your time at all

[weak bloom]

how much do I need to care about the vertical clearance above a drone port?

[wise junco]

for it to function? you dont

you can literally use it inside of a cave 🤣

[weak bloom]

oh cool

physics are a suggestion

[real shale]

AAAAAAA (dats me yellin)

[unreal sand]

Does multiplayer work on the experimental version

[golden nexus]

yes

[unreal sand]

Ok

That’s good to know

So it’s just me

[cunning glade]

Anyone know any hard drive sites with steel pipes

[unreal sand]

There’s one in the crater fields

[tepid ferry]

what area should i start with?

[feral jay]

Grasslands is the usual start for new players

Plenty of flat space to build and most of the basic resources are nearby

And the enemies aren't overwhelming

[elfin idol]

daisychaining being a mam unlock seems pointless to me lol

its just extra hassle for no reason

[static gyro]

whats the key you hold to snap to the world grid?

[elfin idol]

like the idea of adding it is for qol... why hide it behind a mam unlock? like its not broken by any means early game, just means ur gonna have to redo all ur wiring down the line for no reason

[elfin idol]

ctrl

only works for foundations

[static gyro]

ah ty

[feral jay]

And you only need to snap the first foundation, and just build off that one

[bleak valley]

I mean it teaches you how to do it with poles and there is no point in redoing wiring if it’s working fine already

[undone citrus]

I'm so happy

I've evolved beyond the box

Into boomerang

[real shale]

The game is about factories and optimisation, the same could be said for a lot of things you unlock

It's like when you unlock foundations for the first time and have to redo your factory from a spaghetti mess into something that uses them

[undone citrus]

I choose not to optimize all the time just for visual purposes

[elfin idol]

fair points

[real shale]

I am obsessed with optimisation in this game

[undone citrus]

But

But cool truck path

[real shale]

Who says I can't be optimal and pretty

[elfin idol]

idk i guess with a lot of other tech unlocks theyre usually actual buildables, to me it feels weird to unlock a wiring behaviour but again i get ur arguments

[undone citrus]

I like roads

They look so nice on some builds

[real shale]

I took like roads, I just keep forgetting roads need to be wider than I expect

[elfin idol]

tbf the addition of daisychaining has made higher tier powerpoles basically redundant in a sense

[undone citrus]

I only use them for short distances

[elfin idol]

do you unlock daisychaining after mk3 powerpoles? like how far down the line is it?

[real shale]

It's straight after MK3

[elfin idol]

ah

[feral jay]

I'm just glad they finally added daisychaining, I don't need to fuck around with power nipples on the roof and hooking them up to machines and all that jazz. That really added nothing to the game, and daisy chaining doesn't take anything away.

[undone citrus]

I like roads for pointless truck trips between two really close factories

[real shale]

Can I have a MAM research that lets me diagonally zoop ramp walls please

[elfin idol]

ok that makes sense then, they want higher tier poles to not be completely redundant

[undone citrus]

Just to add life

[undone citrus]

I really want a parallelogram platform

Make diagonals so so much nicer

[real shale]

I want glass conveyor walls

[elfin idol]

on conveyors?

[real shale]

No the conveyor walls you get from the awesome shop

But...glass, there's no glass one

And wall holes look weird on windows

[elfin idol]

ah i get u

[feral jay]

I want dynamic train pathing and multistop drone routes, but I'm happy with the new truck pathing for now

[undone citrus]

Clip though the window :3

[elfin idol]

the visual "glitch" where conveyor holes turn black is something i would love to see fixed at some point

[real shale]

NO

[undone citrus]

Lmao

[elfin idol]

on machines as well

[real shale]

I want a lot for Christmas

Ceiling/Flood light lighting rework
Diagonal ramp wall zoop
Glass conveyor walls
Uhhhhhhh probably other stuff I'm forgetting right now

[elfin idol]

not to say 1.2 isnt awesome ofc

[undone citrus]

I want a hula girl figure I can place like a boombox that plays Hawaiian music and dances

[elfin idol]

am loving it so far

[real shale]

Oh that's who you are, I didn't recognise you

[undone citrus]

Lmao hi

[feral jay]

Also, existing train pathing and signalling bugs. I want those fixed.

[undone citrus]

I'm surprised I'm recognizable

[real shale]

Teto word of the day

[undone citrus]

Haven't been here in awhile

[real shale]

My memory is impeccable

[elfin idol]

im hoping a later update is just a straight up visual touch up 🙏 the game looks great but there are a few things that do stand out as just not looking as good as the rest of the game does

[undone citrus]

I love spending 10 hours on the start of a pile of trash. So I can spend another 30 molding it into something not trash

[real shale]

Sapphic is convincing me daily to get an UW monitor

[undone citrus]

Tis truly the experience

[real shale]

Just to play this game

[elfin idol]

/fov 150

xD

[undone citrus]

I'm hoping console gets 1.2 very soon

Unless I'm missing something we haven't got it just yet

[real shale]

You didn't see Jason's VR meme did you?

The guide to playing satisfactory in VR is literally just up the FOV and look at the monitor really closely

[elfin idol]

ive played fov 160 with my face an inch away from my monitor, basically vr

LOL yeah that

[real shale]

That is exactly Jason's guide to VR

[undone citrus]

My current issue is balancing my tasks out

I'm 120 hours into this world

And my most advanced production is fuel

[real shale]

#satisfactory-memes message

[elfin idol]

its ok i have 560 hours on steam and i havent ever gotten past phase 3

✨

[undone citrus]

At 100 hours I completed basic iron production

Progress :3

[real shale]

At 670 hours I did the same thing

I need to tear down one of my power plants soon and rebuild it and OPTIMISE

[undone citrus]

Definitely didn't skip small factories and instantly go into a mega factory for basic resources (4k iron /min, 4k steel/ min, 750 copper/min 1600 concrete/min)

And it's definitely not caused me a single issue

[elfin idol]

i did this then got burned out, also because it was in sf+... then restarted my whole save like 200 hours in 😭

[real shale]

I somehow turned 1800 oil into only 15 GW of fuel power

But in fairness I didn't have HOR and Diluted fuel recipes when I built it so

[vale bough]

genuinely how do people make mega factories? i have attempted only on paper and it nearly gave me a stroke

[real shale]

It takes an experienced pioneer to do it

[undone citrus]

Now I'm jumping to oil

[real shale]

Doing it while not experienced is not recommended

[undone citrus]

Just to produce 1600 pet coke

[real shale]

Why stop at that

Do 5400

[undone citrus]

Thou must fumble before they can fly

I've only ever played 3 worlds

[vale bough]

i see, ill just go back to my spam platforms of pure doom and OCD induced rage then..

[undone citrus]

My issue with progress is I'm a builder in almost every game I touch

And every build I want to do even better

I take about 50 hours per factory currently 😭😭

This game is why I pay my therapist

[real shale]

Mime and Dash

[undone citrus]

Shhhhh

[real shale]

I guarantee your factories are all black and white

[undone citrus]

Sort of

[real shale]

Mimes aren't allowed coloured factories

[undone citrus]

I build mostly with foundation rather than wall

So they're mostly grey for industrial look

[undone citrus]

I'm kinda disappointed you're the only person to catch on tho. Everyone else is so uncultured 😔

[real shale]

I know all, the nerd knows all

[undone citrus]

True

Alright I'ma pay someone to finish my Factory

I've laid the foundation. I'm too tired to go on

[wispy tundra]

Quick question:

I own a Meta Quest 3. Am I missing out by not installing the VR mods for the game, or satisfactory in VR is not all that?

[feral jay]

Built power, tubes, and rail out to the bauxite in the red forest tonight

[vale bough]

does that exist?

[undone citrus]

I've seen memes about this twice today. Based on those I'd say no

But can't actually say for sure

[wispy tundra]

yeah, but it's a bit jury rigged

tho some ppl say the mod is pretty well done

they enable Unreal Engine's out-of-the-box VR capabilities which are disabled in Vanilla, and implement a set of motion controls

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNMjz1Q-s8E

[hearty marlin]

how do i start my coal generators if i have no energy....

[vale bough]

bioreactors for the miner and pumps works good

make sure to disconnect from outside grid

[hearty marlin]

bro its a lot of generators

[calm garnet]

i usually do it like start only one or two with bioreactor first. and if its works fine, u can start the others too

[feral vector]

I definitely wanna take cast screws right? lucky first harddrive I think

[elfin idol]

id say take it

its ever so slightly less iron efficient than the standard recipe but saves a lot on energy consumption and the size of ur production lines early game

[dense violet]

if you want? saves a step if you don't ahve Steel Rods to Base screw

[feral vector]

well it's that or steel cast plate which seems kinda mid

[dense violet]

huge output increase for a little bit of coal, especially if you use solid steel ingots

or oil if you use Coke steel but it doesn't sound like you're at that point yet

[feral vector]

hmm interesting I was misunderstanding the recipe I think

[dense violet]

well base plate is 3 iron ingots for 2 plates
this is 2 ingots for 3 plates

and the 2 ingots can be 1 iron ingot + 2/3 iron ore 2/3 coal if you use Solid Steel

it's it's a pretty big boost on productivity

if you're not wanting to build near coal though of course that makes the recipe less good

[dense violet]

All recipes are great if you use them for their purpose 🙂

[feral vector]

I have a little bit of coal nearby not a ton

[dense violet]

you're still early and learning - just do what is convenient 🙂
if you treat the milestones like a tutorial you'll have all the skills you need for a sandbox game after the phases

[elfin idol]

biocoal 🤣

[dense violet]

kill pigs to turn meat + SAM into uranium rods

or temp amunitions factories you don't need running all the time

[feral vector]

yeah I'm kinda just doing whatever but hard drives are hard to make decisions with cause I don't really understand what I'll need to scale up

[dense violet]

you're never ever locked out of getting ALL the recipes.

[feral vector]

ah that's good to know

[dense violet]

and the 'value' of recipes depend on
location
other recipes you use
what you're making
what other parts you're making and their needs

so hugely based on your creativity

[elfin idol]

oh SHI ITS RAINING

[feral vector]

welp I only have two coal nodes near my base, the others that show up when I ping are the ones I was gonna use for my coal power plant

[elfin idol]

uh where is the rain tho, i only have lens water effects on the screen 😔

[feral vector]

I'm assuming everyone who starts in the first area ends up with a coal plant where I'm gonna make it lol, big lake and tons of coal nodes

[dense violet]

for the most part yes 🙂

[woven nebula]

hello, how would i go about adding in a pre built building in my world?

[dense violet]

wdym?

a blueprint?

[dense violet]

see if you can find Solid Steel Ingot.
very solid generalist recipe. 1 extra step to increase base steel production +50%

[feral vector]

can you save scum the hard drives lol

[woven nebula]

think so

[dense violet]

you can but ... eh , just go out hunting more. you want al lthe recipes anyway

[dense violet]

create a blueprint in the blueprint machine, save it
build the blueprint somewhere you want it

[woven nebula]

like from the website to into my world

[dense violet]

you'd have to copy it to yoru blueprint folder

[feral vector]

fair enough

hmm should I figure out how these tractors work?

I tend to just make ridiculous belts over distance XD

[dense violet]

are you in 1.2?

[feral vector]

I just found a sulfur node I was gonna run a big ass belt back to my base

[feral vector]

that's experimental right? nah

[dense violet]

ok well it's likely when 1.2 goes live it'll probably break all truck paths

and you'll have to relearn how to use them.

so up to you how much of an issue that is

[feral vector]

I mean not the end of the world if they help me now?

[dense violet]

hence, up to you 🙂

[feral vector]

I'm sure I'll end up redoing all my shit regardless lmao

[dense violet]

also nothing wrong with long belts early on either

[feral vector]

I'm already starting to make a mess of my first big factory

[west jackal]

train blocks are saying loops into itself error, but im not sure whats causing it, what do i look for when trying to fix them

[feral vector]

it was so clean then I just stared throwing assemblers all over the place

[dense violet]

that's how it goes 🙂

[dense violet]

you have to basically finish signalling all your rail before taking any errors seriously

[feral vector]

I just got blueprints I'm gonna try to make some modular stuff

[west jackal]

well what if not all the rail is finished? it has a completed loop

like, im using centralized rail lines with stations popping off them, it likely will never be "finished" as it doesnt have a true start or end

[dense violet]

make a post in #1038092680493801533 with overhead imagse 🙂 hold a signal so it shows the block colours

[west jackal]

i think i fixed it, all i did was break and replace some of the blocks

mmustve been placed weird and bugged, not sure

[mortal ginkgo]

1.2 patch do not break tractors. Their pathing gets converted so you dont lose anything at all.

so feel free to use them. I got like 12+ wobbling around

[feral vector]

alright I'll try them out I suppose

[mortal ginkgo]

use them to deliver coal first since coal also used for fueling. good to test things out

[feral vector]

so just use it like a belt replacement? I have one pure coal node I ran a big belt to my base, there's one other coal node nearby just mine it and let a truck drive it back to base?

hmm that seems tricky, I wouldn't have the guaranteed input rate I'd get with the belts

[mortal ginkgo]

sure why not. I dont like long belts so I use tractors. make the scene more dynamic.

note that current pathing needs you to record paths manually which is annoying and fixed completely in 1.2

but you will get guaranteed 2x belt output

[real shale]

Pure Limestone Node

[mortal ginkgo]

dont make me report you to mods

[cunning glade]

I'm excited for trucks

[feral vector]

so do you get the trucks to fill a storage container and feed that into production lines?

[cunning glade]

I just got my 20 smart plating a min going pretty much

[real shale]

Don't make me report you to FICSIT for exploitation

[cunning glade]

Time too complete phase 1

[real shale]

Which impure limestone node are you in particular

I bet you are that one in grassy fields aren't you

[mortal ginkgo]

truck station is a storage by itself. when tractor is not there, storage will handle it all.

give it a try. stations load and unload really fast

[feral vector]

lol I've had 2 a minute going for so long that I've almost filled a whole storage container

[feral vector]

I might try it with this sulfur node I just found but that's gonna be a treacherous road for the truck

I'm assuming it's good to mine all the MAM resources when you find them

ahhh I still gotta get my coal plant going this game is crazy for trying to do lots of things at once

[mortal ginkgo]

yeah it is a wonky systemnthat will be replaced. there is no harm doing a long belt btw.

[unkempt blade]

You should keep it. It sounds like it has character

[frail ermine]

is there a triangle foundation that allows for cleaner 45 degree turns?

[normal orbit]

no but you can do it with beams

place beam from corner to corner, snap foundation to beam

from each end

[frail ermine]

the issue i have with that is z-fighting

[normal orbit]

concrete and asphalt foundations have it much less

#design-and-architecture message example

[frail ermine]

i much prefer the grip metal for the look i'm wanting with this

[normal orbit]

you can use the sloped corners and clip foundation in from underside

or use pillars to freeform place the beam 1 pixel below or above then snap foundations to it for no z-fighting

prob will take a few tries tho

[elfin idol]

#screenshots imagine the bionuggies stop working when theyre wet lol

[dense violet]

there's at least one mod to help with z fighting, you can also try the pillar trick to push the foundation slightly lower or higher so z fighting doesn't happen

[abstract heron]

who thinks this is to many hrs 18,911 hrs on record

[frail ermine]

i just wish had the inverted up corners as full foundations

[elfin idol]

over 2 years straight?

brother what

[abstract heron]

since steam release 2020

[abstract heron]

current world at 5,092hr

[normal orbit]

first step is admitting you may have a problem :)

[abstract heron]

What u mean

[elfin idol]

i mean... what about like life

😭

[abstract heron]

i wanna to do 20khr TOTAL or 25khr TOTAL review before i say good game it is

[normal orbit]

or the classic negative "game not good" 20.000 hours played

[willow pond]

has anyone managed to gather all the lizard doggos on the map into one place?

[elfin idol]

i think theres an entity limit after you have a certain amount but i could be wrong

[abstract heron]

should i make 160.25 nuclear pasta per minute or 230.625 nuclear psata per minute

[echo plover]

uhmm hello everyone, i need some help, if i have diagonal fondation in blueprint, how to align the diagonal foundation? not the square bluprint box, into the existing foundation? (hope you understand my question, sorry for my bad english)

[abstract heron]

for blueprints or stuff before i do things i press H it locks in place for things

[real shale]

"game ruined my life"

[echo plover]

ahhhh noted

[normal orbit]

i wouldnt make them diagonal in the blueprint designer, i would make a diagonal as a guide and snap the blueprint to that

#screenshots message same principle as this, just a diagonal instead of a curve

[echo plover]

yes yes, i just forgot about it, i build 2 separated bp for it, but forgot it exist ehehehe (i just go back to this game after 1 year or so haha), case closed, thank you everyone

[echo plover]

what method u use to rotate the foundation like that?

[normal orbit]

#design-and-architecture message this :)

[feral vector]

what are the odds I power on this coal plant setup and it actually works XD

[frail ermine]

50/50, it either works or it doesn't

[abstract heron]

if it does test it if nott then swear then fix it

[normal orbit]

usually works after a few "f--ks" and a handful of "da--mnits"

[abstract heron]

i often like to have a movie or show or something to watch when i play

[feral vector]

I think it's working but cause of how manifolds work the ones further down the belt are powering on and off?

[abstract heron]

do testing

[normal orbit]

might just need time to fill up

[abstract heron]

like testing i mean sit deco or set up a other factory or something while warming up

[abstract heron]

and also monitor it for anything that u did a WHOOPS on

like go over it a bit to see and fix ANY problems while letting it run

[feral vector]

good idea, babysitting it right now

[abstract heron]

or be in close range for working on it for problems

[feral vector]

if I'm doing 8 off a mk1 belt, I think I need to pause some and let the further ones fill up on coal

[abstract heron]

what are the numbers to what

[compact knot]

8 coal gens use 120 coal

[feral vector]

60 coal per minute on the belt, 4 * 15 coal per minute from the generators

I meant two mk1 belts my bad

I have one manifold for each set of 4 gens

[compact knot]

let it fill before powering it up

i usually let them fill with water 1st, then fill with coal then power up

[feral vector]

I think they filled with water first but I honestly just turned it all on lol

I'm fine with biofuel at the moment, I'm just pausing half of them so they all fill up

hell yeah steady 600 MW

[pulsar shoal]

Question, Why ever use trains when you can make them fly?

With drones.

[compact knot]

trains go choo

[pulsar shoal]

but drones make loud noises and you can strap 100 nukes and blow them up

and fly

[west jackal]

trains have MUCH higher throughput if youre looking 1:1

trains are also much easier to power large quantities of

the downside is that trains require a little infrastructure to setup, but arent too bad (other than random blocking issues)

[compact knot]

setting them to leave only when full helps wit hthat

[pulsar shoal]

Fair

but im lazy

and id rather build 10 drone ports for some fuel cells then to belt a track across the map

[sick falcon]

which biome is best for a full nuclear setup

uranium to ficsonium

[swift turret]

you'll have to bring resources from around to it

the real question is where do you want all that waste to go

[normal orbit]

no biome really does it all, but i think rocky desert northern part might have a lot of it

[normal orbit]

if they go ficsonium its not going anywhere its used

[sick falcon]

are alien power matrixes worth making

they seem really expensive for just 20% extra power

[normal orbit]

depends how much power you make

if you make 10gw it'll "only" add 2 gw, but if you make 1 tw it'll add 200gw

[sick falcon]

500 GW rn

and im only using 80 of it so probably dont need that 20%

can i see how much waste/min a reactor spits out

[normal orbit]

yes in the reactor interface

x50 for uranium x10 for plutonium

[serene jolt]

Should I be changing my factory for each new step of the elevator stuff like I have been or should I find new ore nodes for each step. Also what are some things I should just always have automated. I’m on elevator stage 3

[normal orbit]

i would build new

[vagrant oar]

automation game
"what things should I just always have automated"😭

serious answer tho: literally anything from the main tiers, there's maybe like 2 or 3 things that aren't worth it to automate, when it comes to MAM, you might find yourself not wanting to automate Fabric until way later

[normal orbit]

automate everything you need to build

[vagrant oar]

if you're asking what you should have in a container to grab,
Iron Plates, Iron Rods, Concrete, your conveyor belt ingredient (if you're in phase 2, that'd be Encased Industrial Beams), cable, wire etc.

[normal orbit]

and to produce other items

[exotic garnet]

hi the update were you link machine from one machine to another don't work for me i still have to keep using tons of poles

[cunning glade]

Not me

[vagrant oar]

I also strongly suggest automating quickwire and quartz stuff, because glass is just fun for building

[cunning glade]

Do exp saves transfer?

[vagrant oar]

#satisfactory-experimental + report it on the QA site

[normal orbit]

transfer to?

[exotic garnet]

i have a video I'm going to post on YouTube what it didn't work for me

[cunning glade]

Like live when 1.2 drops

[vagrant oar]

last I checked, you might want to wait until at least the next patch to turn your existing world into an exp world

[serene jolt]

I have almost 8 storage containers full of quick wire. I think it’s the most efficient automation I have so far. How much is too much

[normal orbit]

yes, live will be same version as exp then

[fathom cobalt]

did you unlock it via resarch already

[exotic garnet]

but it works for people like imkibits

[vagrant oar]

when the new version drops, it'll be 100% safe

[cunning glade]

I figured making sure ty

[vagrant oar]

it's almost like bugs can happen to one person but not another /s

[cunning glade]

I got like 50k copper

And I'm gonna need like 2000 pasta

[exotic garnet]

oh is it somthing i must unlock

[vagrant oar]

but yeah, report it on the QA site, and check if there isn't already a post regarding it

that would do it

[fathom cobalt]

the patch notes said it was in the SAM research tree

[normal orbit]

you need to unlock it in the mam, caterium tree

[fathom cobalt]

oh caterium tree?

[normal orbit]

yes, patch notes are wrong

[fathom cobalt]

nice

[cedar iris]

no it said caterium

[vagrant oar]

it contradicts itself a sentence apart

[cedar iris]

maybe that was for SPWN

[vagrant oar]

it first says it's unlockable via Alien Tech, and then says Caterium

[vagrant oar]

I think they just copy pasted the SPWN and forgot to change that one sentence

[normal orbit]

yea they say both, the first bit is wrong, second correct

[cedar iris]

at least it's not overpriced af or super lategame

[sick falcon]

do space elevator phases count as milestones bc i have every milestone done in the hub and the achievement says 41/42

[normal orbit]

No. It's a known bug

You can reset milestones in scim and redo em and see if it triggers

[sick falcon]

too late it already ruined the satisfactory moment of finishing the hub 😔

[magic sinew]

how do i make my tractors only deliver stuff every 20 or so minutes

if i set the wait time really high it just forgets its on autopilot

[floral sparrow]

Has anyone ever tried to remove literally all organic materials from their world?

[sick falcon]

nuts mushrooms and fruits respawn

[floral sparrow]

You can destroy their plants with a chainsaw, no?

[west jackal]

is there a way to measure throughput of trains? they show a number way higher than what they should

[sick falcon]

oh yea true

[floral sparrow]

Not sure about mushrooms actually

[sick falcon]

the mushrooms do respawn tho

no stopping them

[floral sparrow]

Hmm. Mushrooms technically aren't plants at least

[leaden turret]

mushrooms don't respawn

[west jackal]

1350 crude and a buttload of water into 1250 rubber 300 CB, This oughta feed the RCU machine

That'll end up being 135 RCU/min. Hopefully that's enough for all the RCU stuff? Turbo motor, pressure cube and blenders?

Is there anything else I need rcu for

[reef basin]

if you find a need for more RCU, you'll build more in the future

[timid rune]

alright time to tear down my old old modular engine build and make a 75/min one x.x

[reef basin]

why not keep it?

[timid rune]

it was done like 1 year ago and I forgot the actual maths for it x.x

(only did like 15/min)

[reef basin]

and it still works? no reason to dismantle

[timid rune]

only 90 constructors needed for iron wire alone

alright this is kinda doable

[keen flame]

good morning chat

[livid matrix]

How do I split a conveyor into 5 equal conveyors?

[leaden turret]

with basic math

[livid matrix]

??

[leaden turret]

you can split and merge things in numbers of 2 and 3

[livid matrix]

How do I get a 5 from 2 and 3 tho?

[leaden turret]

with basic math

[sharp sparrow]

When 1.2 is coming? In Stable

[leaden turret]

probably before the summer vacation

[low ingot]

probably fcouple months

yeah maybe before summer sooo may?

[sharp sparrow]

oh thnx ❣️

[leaden turret]

there's tutorials on reddit / youtube about doing load balancers

[livid matrix]

alr

[crisp osprey]

The humble manifold :

[livid matrix]

o yea, i could also do that

[cursive spindle]

is Plutonium Pellet sinkable ?

[normal orbit]

dont think so, gotta make the fuel rods

[low ingot]

no, i think it needs to be made into plutonium rods to be sinked

[cursive spindle]

damn

its alot of bussiness 😭

[dense violet]

use the plut rods for vehicles then it becomes great work

[cursive spindle]

i will probably use it for a drone...... or just gonna put it in to nuclear power plant and have more waste :3

#1485204277390606457 message

[lethal citrus]

with these new settings if only I could automagically know what world setup would work out to be the most fun

[reef basin]

no reason to post here if it's in LFG

[reef basin]

single splitter

[dense violet]

changing node locations only shifts where you might plan a factory and recipes you might choose in those spots

and you'll never use ALL the resources anyway so it's really just random

[proud escarp]

check your dms

what does one do about a lizard doggo falling through the map and dissapearing

[leaden turret]

use it to dispose of nuclear waste

[reef basin]

why not answer in public?

[edgy python]

Is there anyway to stop a pump from pushing flow backwards

Without using a valve

[proud escarp]

cant send an image

[halcyon kestrel]

Anyone know some good server hostings for this game?

[leaden turret]

face it the correct way around?

[reef basin]

there's tons of channels where you can send images. And you can even send it here via a link

[proud escarp]

oh alright

[edgy python]

No I have one water extractor connected to pipe systems so when I add the pump to the pipe from the water extractor it causes the flow in the other pipe systems to be pushed backwards (at least that’s what’s the game shows )

[leaden turret]

did you plug the pump in?

[edgy python]

No I mean like before you place it down you know how there’s those blue rings on your pipes indicating where the flow would go if it was placed down it’s showing me at the pipe intersection it’s going to force the water to go backwards

[leaden turret]

if the flow indicator on the pump placement is going in the wrong direction, that means the pump is facing the wrong way

[edgy python]

Ok let’s say this is the intersection
⬆️
And this is the pump 🅾️
And ⬅️➡️ is flow direction
This is what’s happening for me
Cpp ⬅️⬆️➡️water extractor
…………..🅾️

[reef basin]

it doesn't really matter much as long as all your things are getting enough water

you probably better off posting in #1038092680493801533 with screenshots at this point

a few months

hi someone can help how can i get 1.2 exp or it is just avalibe for specific players?

[ancient wren]

Change your install branch in steam to experimental

[leaden turret]

select experimental from steam properties for the game

[pure patrol]

thx

[sterile blade]

Did they remove the instructions to swap to Experimental from #faq?
I'm pretty sure it had details on that for both Steam and Epic...

[jagged nymph]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/waAjzez2Ljw
yes officer, its this one

[keen violet]

how do you guys make power poles not chaos

so many power poles needed like 500

[sterile blade]

Wall or ceiling connectors add much less clutter overall (being a LOT smaller...)

[normal orbit]

Naw, people just don't read

[keen violet]

its such a pain in the ass lol

[sterile blade]

Are you sure...?
Because I can't see that info (I'm pretty sure it was there at some point...)

There's stuff on consolle, crossplay, multiplayer, game files, screenshots and such...
But no "experimental" info

[keen violet]

do i need to worry about this stuff it feels really annoying https://imgur.com/a/7b0HfQh

[normal orbit]

Maybe not here but there is a news post on Steam saying how

And I'm sure one on epic too

[sterile blade]

Which could be easily linked in the "FAQ", if there was the Experimental section I'm asking about

They might have removed it and forgot to put it back when they brought EXP back (1.1?)

[keen violet]

do I need to worry about exploration and the MAM stuff guys

[normal orbit]

There's also pinned post in #satisfactory-experimental

[sterile blade]

Wdym by "worry about"?

[keen violet]

power in this game is the worst thign to ever exist the power poles are awful

[merry kite]

Like reverting unlocked things in a carryover save?

[merry kite]

The power poles are so easy what are u on about

U make a pole, u connect da pole, done?

[crude canyon]

Hey guys, my friend is making a mod that will allow truck stations to filter items that the tractors are bringing, here's a pic for reference #screenshots message
The question is, how early do you want this capability to be in?
As early as you get them?
Divide the multiple filters for the same time as trains?

[merry kite]

Want more connections? Stronger pole

[keen violet]

yeah 8347537845 poles

[merry kite]

I've never had an issue with the ones with 7 connections

[sterile blade]

I doubt you'll make more than 1k power poles :P

[merry kite]

I just put 3 in a line and it's enough for any factory section

Or just wait for 1.2 for Daisy chain lol

[sterile blade]

That's a question for the Modding server ^^

[crude canyon]

I wanted to reach a wider audience...

[crude canyon]

do you think having the programmable splitter function that early would be too op, sushi Guru?

[merry kite]

I have never found a use case for programmable splitter in my whole time playing

That the smart splitter couldnt solve

[crude canyon]

I found one. I used it to make logic systems

[sterile blade]

Sorry, I don't have interest in such hypothetical 🤷‍♂️
Do not rely on my opinion on this (I focus on vanilla logistics)

[crude canyon]

alright, thanks for hearing me out

[real shale]

Factory....

[sterile blade]

Tbf, they don't do anything that multiple splitters (both smart and not) and mergers can't do... But they cut down on quite a few components to get their "unique" things done (like filtering or load-balancing multiple items without needing to have individual splitters and mergers for each individual item)

[real shale]

I won't take programmable splitter slander, unacceptable

[crude canyon]

I won't take programmable splitter, unacceptable

[normal orbit]

I can see programmable being useful when sushi. But if you aren't they don't really serve a purpose

[real shale]

I use programmable splitters instead of smart splitters purely for the sake of the fact that they look better

[sterile blade]

While I share the sentiment, it is true that every one of their function can be replicated using enough Splitters, Smart Splitters and Mergers...

[real shale]

Their aesthetic cannot

[sterile blade]

Fair xD

[real shale]

The beautiful side buttons.... Beep boop beep boop bap

[crude canyon]

prog splitters are there to divide a big sushi into a smaller sushi

so I just got the idea of making a train, as central storage
Sadly, I also remember the depot exists, so central storage is useless

[keen flame]

what the hell is a programmable splitter 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

[crude canyon]

it's a lot less useful than it sounds

[keen flame]

whats it do?

[crude canyon]

it's like multiple smart splitters into 1

instead of filtering 1 item, it filters multiple

[keen flame]

i see

[crude canyon]

Funny thing, train stations can already do that

[keen flame]

is the reason for the hate its cost or what then

[crude canyon]

yeah, it needs super computers, which comes super late

[keen flame]

btuh

[crude canyon]

You get trains much earlier, and train stations can already do that

[keen flame]

trains are so peak

i only have one so far

but i already love the ingame mechanics for making trains and theyre like so fast imo

im using it to transport stuff back and forth between 2 km so the speed is rly good

my storages are always full even when theyre all connected to my factory

[keen violet]

this game is basically just leaf collector simulator

[dense violet]

in a game where you can't really do anything wrong, you're doing it wrong then

[sterile blade]

Many end up expecting them to do more than they do, so they end up feeling a bit disappointed (eg: precise throughput control)

[crude canyon]

Did you know they can do this?
#screenshots message

[keen flame]

lol play for 30 more mins you wont need them

[keen flame]

i did NOT that‘s super helpful

[versed cosmos]

i dont think ive ever come across a situation that a programmable splitter would fix that multiple smart splitters wouldn't

[sterile blade]

But unlike Prog Splitters, they can't load-balance the items too 😁

[keen flame]

you have nice interests

[versed cosmos]

huh?

[keen flame]

the ones in your bio!

[versed cosmos]

oh

[crude canyon]

Honestly, I think trains are too op

[versed cosmos]

yeah love science

[keen flame]

same

[unkempt blade]

Think this is mostly it though I wouldn't call it "hate". Most things you'd use a non-stupid splitter for in a normal factory you can do with the smart splitter

[crude canyon]

The throughput is too high, they're too easy to expand, and the only downside is the space they occupy

[sterile blade]

So long as you have enough space, the only downside of not using Prog Splitters is having more objects in the game (visual preferences aside, ofc)

[unkempt blade]

I definitely used prog splitters when I was still making malls pre-depot

[vital lance]

I hate when I stop playing for more than few months and have to get back and remember all the stuff im gonna leave a note on the map last time im do this

[crude canyon]

same

[sterile blade]

Making a mall is when I realized Prog Splitter had a max amount of filters they can handle

[unkempt blade]

yeah I mostly used them just to kick stuff to a certain aisle instead of just doing one huge loop

they weren't ever a requirement to make the mall work but it let me filter stuff from the intake easily

[sterile blade]

I just wanted to separate the only sushi belt feeding the mall into 3 belts each carrying items to one wing of the mall... But we can't do that with just one Splitter (even though the outputs are enough, the filters aren't)

[ornate idol]

the warehouse in my current run has 48 train stations, no smart / programmer splitters needed. 😛

[unkempt blade]

or like now I guess I'd have a prog splitter on my dump storage to takes all the collectibles and biomass stuff where it should go

[keen flame]

wth

how big is it

[unkempt blade]

and that could definitely be a series of smart splitters, but it's a good use case for "send a few items in each direction" at least

[ornate idol]

the outer loop is 101x101 foundations, 12 stations on each side.

then there are some specialty stations outside the loop for being called to project sites, like one has a car for each belting material, one has cars for common building materials (motors/rotors/stators/modular frames/etc), then of course, I have a project train that has multiple containers around the warehouse exporting to it so when I math out the material for a build, I can just run around and dump all the parts and they'll get shipped to the train for sending to the job site.

[unkempt blade]

The top layer of this thing #screenshots message was a mall. I wound up using 3 multi-purpose train stations for bringing items in and all those drones on the roof for smaller item count stuff

[earnest dock]

Now now, perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything

[prime basin]

same

[prime basin]

liar

[keen flame]

whatcha do?

[prime basin]

?

[unkempt blade]

no it's true because I saw it on tv

[prime basin]

Violence can fix anything if its symmetrical enough

[ornate idol]

I have spots for drones on top of the hub / warehouse for later, but I don't have them unlocked (or a need for them) yet.

I've been a bad boy and haven't been posting my series to the media channel, otherwise I'd direct you to the build of it. I'll get around to it eventually.

[earnest dock]

@sick falcon holly smokes :3 how many Giggity Watts is that complex?

[keen flame]

what science do u do?

[ornate idol]

so, I loaded the game to get a screenshot of my station layout around the warehouse end Epic complained that my local saves weren't sync'd, and now it's frozen loading the save.. that's not a good sign.

[earnest dock]

Time to move factory 0,0001 m to the right to avoid clipping

[ornate idol]

been there, done that

[old grail]

how do i load homming ammo into rifle? no idea how to switch it from the regular one

[real shale]

Hold R

It'll show you a radial menu to select it

[prime basin]

I have a toe almost everywhere, tho my favourites are probably reproductive biology and quantum mechanics

[real shale]

Who let the scientist into the enjiner game /jk

[prime basin]

hey everything is based in science, which is based in math

[real shale]

Which is based on philosophy which is based on ?

[keen flame]

true

[next ivy]

god

[prime basin]

nah, humans inherent need to overcomplicate things

[real shale]

it's like the age old meme of "Oh my god is anyone here a doctor? I am. Doctor of Philosophy"

[keen flame]

more like is anyone here unemployed

[prime basin]

when i first started playing this game, i spent hours trying to figure out how hatchers and flying mantas reproduce, also wth do flying mantas eat? I finally decided that the creatures in this game were not designed with reality in mind

[real shale]

I am a bigger fan of the engineer Vs physicist battle where the physicist comes up with some theoretical stuff and the engineer absolutely destroys it with practicality

[prime basin]

and what is the mature form of the hatcher spawn

[prime basin]

sameee

[keen flame]

all of STEM is unemployment with a superiority complex

[real shale]

Engineering, constantly destroying physicists dreams since ? BC

[crude canyon]

anyone else misses the mall, and the cool stuff players had to deal with all of that

[prime basin]

bro just described half the entire playerbase in one sentence

[next ivy]

but i AM superior ?

[ornate idol]

I uploaded a screen of the warehouse / 48 stations in #screenshots .

[real shale]

I would imagine the Hatcher's reproduce akin to fungus

[keen flame]

DAYUMMMMB

really good work

[real shale]

With the flying crabs help them spread spores

[keen flame]

the choice of location is carrying so hard

[prime basin]

no i mean, the flying bug things that attack you when you get close to a hatcher, what is the mature form of those

[ornate idol]

thanks, I was really pleased with how it came out.

[real shale]

They are probably just akin to flies

[prime basin]

cause the mature form of those are probably what lay the hatchers

[real shale]

Only there to serve one purpose, spread the fungus....

The bigger question is why we call the spiders spiders when they aren't really spiders

They have 6 legs not 8

[prime basin]

i always call them stingers

[ornate idol]

the upper floor has a rooftop garden with benches so employees can take a break and enjoy the view.

[prime basin]

also arachnophobia mode is innacurate for that reason

[real shale]

Honestly it shouldn't be called arachnophobia to begin with, most people are scared of spiders but not scorpions which are also arachnids by definition

[ornate idol]

who's to say alien spiders have to have 8 legs?

[real shale]

The definition of arachnid, although I guess scorpions include their "arms" but even then by that definition stingers have 10

[ornate idol]

the definition here on Earth. I'm not going to tell an alien species they can't call their giant 6-legged screaming, spitting, leaping monsters arachnids.

anyway, I figure encountering those things must be what it's like to live in Australia.

[clever pier]

it should be called Entomophobia mode

thats fear of insects

[mortal ginkgo]

it should be called "go tap on impure limestones, they are safe"

[clever pier]

we do have jumping spiders in Australia, but they are all pretty small and not venomous

luckily in general jumping spiders are not dangerous to humans.... jumping spiders with venom would be terrifying

[jagged nymph]

i just assume all spiders will immediately kill me if i come within their vicinity

[ornate idol]

yeah, but the general trope is that everything in Australia is huge and trying to murder you.

[dense violet]

no that's canada, it's the tiny things that try to kill you in aus

Australia , hot , tiny murder
Canada, cold, huge murder

[clever pier]

we do have large salt water crocodiles in Australia that will definitely eat you

[ornate idol]

I've been to Canada, nothing tried to murder me. They had super cute black squirrels though.

[clever pier]

and great white sharks

[dense violet]

you didn't meet the moose then

[clever pier]

its the canadian geese you have to worry about

[dense violet]

them too

moose are just randomly angry bastards

[ornate idol]

I grew up in a region that gets heavy snow and ice. If I'd had to live even further north, I would had been angry all the time too.

[keen flame]

thanks ficsit for listening to pioneers. always.

[dense violet]

they're angry even in teh summer, doesn't help

[leaden turret]

go to quebec and start speaking like officer crabtree

[prime basin]

it wouldn't include the "arms" they grow from the "head" not the cephalothorax so they are not legs, they are kinda like pedipalps

[prime basin]

you obviously didn't get close enough to the geese then

[jagged nymph]

ive never left the united states

[prime basin]

that will most definitely get you killed

[eager wave]

Hi everyone,
I’m not sure if there are any Hungarian speakers here, but I have a question. Is there any possibility that Hungarian language support will be added in the future, or is there any planned update for it?
As far as I know, Hungarian might already be available on PC — but I’m not sure if that’s an official version or just a fan-made mod.
Could you please help clarify this, or does anyone have any information about it?

[leaden turret]

there's a core set of official languages, those + everything else are refined by community efforts

[echo plover]

thank you!

[normal orbit]

glad it helped :)

[warm remnant]

i thought that mark 3 belt caps at 180 XDDD

[nocturne bear]

The Satisfactory Wiki:Community portal says to pop in here and ask for a wiki role?
Is there a specific channel I need to ask in?

[dense violet]

@true mulch

[tough laurel]

i need help with my power plant. can someone help me out? dm me if ya can

[prime basin]

what kinda plant?

[tough laurel]

turbo fuel

[prime basin]

should probably give a little more detail on what the problem is, just so people know if helping is within their abilities

[tough laurel]

well the fuel genarators arent getting enough fuel but i did the math and they should be

unless i messed up somwhere

[zealous coral]

ussualy its just buggy pipes

is it rocket or turbofuel

[tough laurel]

turbo

[zealous coral]

turn off all the generators, and wait for every onme of them to fill up fully with turbofuel

then turn them all back on

[dense violet]

make a post in #1038092680493801533 and show overhead images of your whole set up, use photomode

[tough laurel]

uhh ok sorry!

[dense violet]

nothing to apologise for, it's just this channel si terrible for troubleshooting systems 🙂

[true mulch]

opened a mod ticket, you should get the role soon

[coarse path]

guys why cant i daisy chain power lines to my machines

even tho i have 1.2 installed

[dense violet]

research it

[versed cosmos]

its in the mam

[coarse path]

ah i knew it was going to be that, wich one is it?

caterium?

[past dune]

Completed max vanilla power 🙂
9.73 Terawatts
#screenshots message

[dense violet]

no idea, have a squeeze im sure you'll find it fast

[coarse path]

dude that looks fucking amazing🤟

[real shale]

Nearly 10 terrawatts is the limit? God damn

[versed cosmos]

hey nerd you flattened the swamp yet?

[real shale]

Oh you weren't here for it Joe

I turned it into concrete

[versed cosmos]

i havent been active here or played the game in a while

wanna wait for 1.2 to come to stable

[past dune]

i can probably cox between 3-30k extra watts.. though that that much, I really maxed everything but, have to dbl check my old refinery design..

[real shale]

#screenshots message

[versed cosmos]

and its not on the world grid

[real shale]

Why would it be, why use the world grid

[versed cosmos]

i dunno

i just like it

[dense violet]

so you're needlessly restricted in your designs for no benefit, ofc

[real shale]

Oh yeah, rather than using the countless techniques out there to merge local grids, I shoulda thought about that

[versed cosmos]

i need to learn some of those techniques

[dense violet]

or design it so you dont need to link up grids by foundations

[real shale]

I don't even link them by foundations most of the time

[dense violet]

yeah I don't bother

[real shale]

I use my train lines and just clip them

[real shale]

Honestly it's either clever clipping or positioning

The only time it really becomes a problem for me is merging railway lines but I find my ways

[dense violet]

I don't bother having foundations under all my rails

[gentle yoke]

13TW waste free possible, 18TW with waste. But good job!

[real shale]

Honestly I'm surprised that's how high it goes

[past dune]

13 to 18? how

[real shale]

Most of that has to be rocket fuel right?

From what I calculated for nuclear it was like 1.3 TW?

[boreal snow]

man Fiscit is stupid, why don't they harness the power of the perpetual motion of sloshing to create infinite power?

[past dune]

i used all coal, all sulfur, all uranium.. maxed plutonium and ficsonium and alien power matrices.. theres nothing left..

[real shale]

ahhhhh alien power matrices

[gentle yoke]

Don't use ficsonium, just uranium and pluto

[real shale]

10 power augmentors + alien power matrices would do it lmao

[past dune]

impossible.. you need it to make alien power matrices..

[real shale]

Ficsonium is another layer of power generation though? I think they are only including raw generation not the costs to make

[gentle yoke]

I meant ficsonium fuel rods, you don't need them

[past dune]

aye you do..

do get the proper flow of dark matter residue..

to end up making max amounts of alien power matrices..

you sure do

[real shale]

What's your power boost at

I'm so curious

I would look at the screenshot but it's quite small to see

[past dune]

#screenshots message

9.73 terawatts

7,3 tw boost

[real shale]

Holy smokes

[gentle yoke]

dm

[past dune]

gn folks

[unkempt blade]

it's over 9000 [gigawatts]!

[zealous coral]

how

[hasty rapids]

9 tera = 9000 giga

[jagged nymph]

cause its more than 9000 gigawatts

[zealous coral]

i mean how does somone have 9tw power plant

[unkempt blade]

they built it

[jagged nymph]

nuclear power, fuel power, coal power, etc

[hasty rapids]

1.2 update makes anything possible

[jagged nymph]

and alien power augmenters

[unkempt blade]

the screenshot link I responded to literally shows you how...

[jagged nymph]

im just now realizing theres only 3 main ways to generate power and alot of people dont do the third one (nuclear)

biomass is jsut to get you started and geothermal is just kinda an extra thing, it doesnt require any setup

[unkempt blade]

It depends how min-maxy people want to be about it. The coal gen also has more fuels it can burn than just coal

[jagged nymph]

isnt it just pet coke and compacted coal

which is just coal with extra steps

but its still the same machine is what im getting at

i mean theres alot of different fuels

but its still fuel power

[unkempt blade]

yeah and different burn times and coke is from oil not a coal derivative

but if you're min-max minded you'd be going for fuel instead of coke probably

I like the coke/pepsi bot, it's nearly as good as the coupon bot

[jagged nymph]

its the same bot as the coupon bot

and the ada bot

[remote siren]

i just started turbofuel, didnt look at the numbers before, hell, its way more efficient

higher burn time at less than half consumption

[unkempt blade]

Yeah imo rocket fuel is "too strong" for the amount of effort/complexity it actually takes. If I had complete control I'd be adjusting it to be less-good

[median ore]

so i wanna play satisfactory again, but i havent played since 1.0 got released, anyone know how i can find out if i was using mods or not?

[green fiber]

load a save and then the game screams at you if the save had mods

if you dont overwrite that save then you can add the mods back later and it should work

[median ore]

ah it says it? didnt know that

thank you

im thinking of backing up the savefile, and going into experimental cause i would love to have the new features when i play again :3

[neat plank]

Trying to find a nice spot to build a megafactory is so difficult sometimes.

[ornate saffron]

my advice is dont, but if ytou insist go to the middle of the map or over a large body of water

[neat plank]

Yeah, I'm thinking of building on the cliffs above the waterfalls, near the Coal Nodes.

In the rocky Desert. That seems chill.

Is that lake deep enough for water?

[median ore]

turns out it says it did use mods, but i got no clue which ones :c

[green fiber]

the solution is to buff nuclear obviously

[ornate saffron]

over the the north west above the nitrogen seems really good. eliminates Water and nitrogen

same could be said about spire coast with added oilk

[neat plank]

I think I prefer being inland.

But yeah I see the Nitrogen on the coast.

[old parrot]

why cant there be a 1/4 foundation

[ornate saffron]

my suggestions are with the personal; preference of building where the fluids are

[next ivy]

there can be, but there isnt

[old parrot]

ik

[ornate saffron]

walkways are 1/4

[old parrot]

yes but its not a foudation

[next ivy]

how should the quarter be represented

[old parrot]

idk

[next ivy]

[old parrot]

my brain is dead

the catwalk is also too expenive

[ornate saffron]

I've been avoiding plubber but now that im at Radio control units i must give in and build out plubber

[old parrot]

i think the closest thing is a concrete pillar

[ornate saffron]

if catwalk is expensive then you are in a worse place then me. you gotta pump[ up your personal use numbers

[old parrot]

i spent all my tikets on all the foundations

and the asphalt

[ornate saffron]

oh i thought you ment materials costs of construction not purchasing

[old parrot]

no

i have like 6k concrete on me rn

[ornate saffron]

tickets com in time but if you are in a a ruch find some uranium place a minetr on it and directly sink ity

[warm remnant]

can u remove less then stack from dimesional depot?

[old parrot]

im just trying to move steel back to my base with the new rodes

[ornate saffron]

no

[old parrot]

wait i lowkey got a idea

[ornate saffron]

i usually just use half foundations and clip them

[old parrot]

that sounds horrible

[ornate saffron]

with ash the its hardc to see

[old parrot]

also im trying to do a as clip less world as i can

[ornate saffron]

we are all bound by morallity. If cast away we are free to act against the gods

[old parrot]

lol im on phase 2 and im doing good so far i got this

[ornate saffron]

I beleive in you

[old parrot]

i got this

no more noodle factorys for me

[empty path]

how do you guys go about trains? like i need to bring 1200 iron ore to somewhere, and i wanna make sure it is 1200/m. 2/3 cars and merge those 2/3 outputs into one?

[old parrot]

idk

[wild phoenix]

Hello

[south lion]

anyone knows why my awesome sink aint working anymore?

[wild phoenix]

Js got here

[south lion]

its connected to the power grid idk why its not taking items

[sick falcon]

about 500GW if it behaves

[fluid sapphire]

I would use more cars just for some headroom, load them all evenly, also unload evenly, set train to depart only when empty/full, buffer freight platforms with industrial storage containers on both ends

[prime basin]

y'know what would be cool? throttled splitters

[empty path]

guess ill try 5 cars then, i always do buffers so thats fine, i just never used the option to depart only when full

[fluid sapphire]

You have smart splitters

[prime basin]

where you can control exactly how many ppm goes out each side, even if it just lets you choose between belt speeds that would also be cool

[fluid sapphire]

Evenly loading and unloading is key to keep it at full efficiency

[prime basin]

like, center lane is a mark 4 belt, left is a mark 3, and right is a mk 1

[empty path]

alright thanks for the input, gona do a mega build ( for my standards ) of 60 super computers / m for the fun of it 😄 finished the game last night

[fluid sapphire]

Go ham #screenshots message

60 supercomputers is truly a lot

[undone citrus]

The day shift starts soon

[empty path]

well its gona be my own first big project so we'll see, need to setup around 4.5k iron ore at least for starters, so am building the train platforms now and trying to figure the best approach, thanks for the info 👍

[fluid sapphire]

All of my trains are set up like so, it works great even when there are lots of them all next to each sharing exits and entry points, given enough headroom

[empty path]

thats alot of train stations 😄

[fluid sapphire]

Leave only when full/empty keeps your rail clear of unnecessary traffic

21 stations

Trains only move when they have to

[fluid sapphire]

Figuring out how to split resources is part of the logistical challenge of the game

You already have tools to either engineer something like that or use alternative methods to achieve the same goal

[prime basin]

yah but it would still be cool for more casual players who just wanna see belts move

[fluid sapphire]

Design simpler systems

The game is only as complicated as you make it

[prime basin]

i like making it complicated, it was just an idea for new or casual players
