satisfactory

[bitter dust]

this is the game

[sly herald]

nvm fixed it

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean, sure. But eh. Its alot of constructors.

[keen flame]

are you the real doomguy

[bitter dust]

yes

[unkempt blade]

me too

[sturdy topaz]

man I wanna play satisfactory but im poor

sadly just missed the sale

[unkempt blade]

That sucks. Have you considered selling plasma to play Satis?

[sturdy topaz]

I think im gonna sell my organs

[unkempt blade]

smart, straight to the jackpot instead of nickle and diming your way there

[wise junco]

write to CSS maybe they'll send you a code. worst they can say is no

[sturdy topaz]

dear coffee stain studios

give me code please

[valid glade]

css are awesome

they honestly might

[sturdy topaz]

where do I do this lmao

[wise junco]

Idk. Find a contact email

[dire wagon]

what can i do with two very close pure iron nodes?

i'm at phase 4

[mortal ginkgo]

if you are that poor that missing a sale is preventing you buying the game, there might be bigger problems in your life.

I suggest making money by working in limestone mines. Especially impure ones. Yes.

[sturdy topaz]

im gonna sell an organ instead

[unkempt blade]

yeah we already figured out his finances

[sturdy topaz]

j.o.b.s is a bad word.

[mortal ginkgo]

oh no.

[lean fossil]

what's a 0.67 machine.

[unkempt blade]

using underclocking

[lean fossil]

what %

[unkempt blade]

6-7 🤷‍♂️

[lean fossil]

😭

[rough shore]

huh

[sturdy topaz]

just sent them an email lmao, wish me luck

[mortal ginkgo]

Bro can afford internet but not the game. Bro is unhinged. Out of control! 😭

[sturdy topaz]

nah im on mcdonalds internet

[jagged nymph]

my isp is honestly so shit

[mortal ginkgo]

Big dawg joined server and immediately went for "gimme game blz"

[sturdy topaz]

lmao jk

[mortal ginkgo]

big dawg is unhinged

[sturdy topaz]

it looks fun tbh 🔥

[reef basin]

was a joke, don't do that

[sturdy topaz]

too late

swedish people are pretty nice

[reef basin]

but begging isn't

[sturdy topaz]

right?

[mortal ginkgo]

"easy to abuse and beg for" is what I read.

[sturdy topaz]

it was a nicer way of begging id say...

[wanton goblet]

I hope the code doubles the price of the game

[mortal ginkgo]

bro is ultra unhinged.

[sturdy topaz]

ill probably get an email back saying:

no fuck you we will double the price of the game

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean, do you even have the pc to run the game if you cant even afford the game itself?

[sturdy topaz]

well I got a laptop 🔥

but it is good enough to run the game

[mortal ginkgo]

ok i can see you finishing phase 1 and quitting at phase 2 when pipes arrive.

[sturdy topaz]

nah I got it

[mortal ginkgo]

spoilers: bro dont have it

[sturdy topaz]

if they say no and the price of the game doubles for everyone, am I gonna get the firing squad?

[mortal ginkgo]

you go gulag

[sturdy topaz]

damn even worse

[mossy cedar]

Uhh is crossplay really years away?

[reef basin]

crossplay exists for PC and Consoles

not between them tho, as those are different versions of game

[mossy cedar]

What does that mean?

You cant play with someone on e.g ps5 if ur on pc?

[reef basin]

you can crossplay between Steam and Epic
you can cosplay between PS and Xbox

[lean fossil]

I think he means you can play with a ps5 against an xbox

[mossy cedar]

Ooooh

[lean fossil]

ohye

[mossy cedar]

Mann i want crossplay between pc and console so bad

Too bad its apparently years away

[reef basin]

won't happen most likely

[mossy cedar]

Yeah community manager said something about changing the whole backend or something

Basically remaking the whole factory from scratch (the miners) i think

[jagged nymph]

?

[north gull]

how can i organize belts going in to a factory and further like belts going from an output spliting to annother prodcution and going on

[spare prism]

Jason said otherwise

[dense violet]

mostly planning and dedicating space for it

[dense violet]

you plan what sections feed off each other and place them next to each other for convenience

[fleet raft]

Can SCIM show what machines are still connected to the power grid?

[jagged nymph]

it should

i mean you can click on machines and see if they are powered

[rough shore]

Crossplay.Enabled(Steam, Epic. PS, Xbox);

[jagged nymph]

?

[jagged nymph]

message.contents = "no";

[rough shore]

why

[jagged nymph]

they have to redo like the entire backend to do that

which would take a very long time

[rough shore]

but the game has both a computer and a console so 🤷‍♂️

[jagged nymph]

yes, but they dont work together

[valid sigil]

I think they mean you can literally craft those items in game

[jagged nymph]

you cant craft a console

[rough shore]

but there is a console

which is?

[jagged nymph]

i do love slabs of fish

[lean fossil]

is 7.5 a minute acceptable yall

[clear aspen]

7.5/m of what

[smoky forge]

guys how do i type in commands ingame

[clear aspen]

`

[smoky forge]

doesnt work

[clear aspen]

check keybinds

[rough shore]

of?

[lean fossil]

steel baboonies

beamsbeams beams thats what they're called steel beams

[rough shore]

do u use them for anything other than storing them for buildables?

[clear aspen]

i see another mamytemian

[lean fossil]

uh i make encased steel beams and put the other in storage

[wet jungle]

[lean fossil]

thus 7.5 in storage and 7.5 for encased steel beams

[clear aspen]

hello fellow mamytemian

[lean fossil]

OR do i js make a normal small fatcory for screws and INSTEAD get 15 a minute

[lean fossil]

You're also a mar?..

[clear aspen]

no mamytema studios

[lean fossil]

ah

[rough shore]

u should really try and get encased steel pipes

[lean fossil]

I loved that game

[lean fossil]

what.

[rough shore]

alt recipe

[clear aspen]

im like 15 on time leaderboard

[lean fossil]

oh yeah sure I'll try-

[floral sparrow]

Should I worry about running out of water for coal generators? I'm at tier 4 so I'm just starting to use them but water space doesn't seem super plentiful

I haven't explored the whole map though. Mostly just the south half

[mortal ginkgo]

there are oceans out there and many other places.

also water is infinite just like other resources

a puddle will always provide endless supply of water just like oceans will

[floral sparrow]

I mean running out of space to put extractors

Will other power sources render that concern moot in the future?

[mortal ginkgo]

need 3 for 8 coal gens. you gotta find other places then

you will need more water but you will also need to expand all over the map

[dense violet]

oceans and lakes are very common

you don't have to build power all in one place or close to your base

[lean fossil]

goat i got it

[dense violet]

for example, enough coal to get you to tier 7 easily https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1437572960004083722/1437573943774150738/image.png?ex=69c70891&is=69c5b711&hm=e4820484ec9ba0e3f84ab98328275f756d816abc659859cc3ac5ecb15138b060&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

[elder oracle]

Man I can’t wait for 1.2 to come out of experimental

[lean fossil]

i think spiders are scared of me they aint attackin

They're ACTIVELY RUNNING ACTUALLY

nvm they're fixed

[round tendon]

any good beginners guides on automating stuff?

[lean fossil]

use the modeler ig

[reef basin]

no, learning on your own is best guide

[reef basin]

wouldn't recommend that either

[lean fossil]

wha why

I would like your very educated answer mister greeny

[reef basin]

don't learn anything

[sturdy topaz]

part of the game is learning on the go

[reef basin]

with modeler

[sturdy topaz]

I dont even have it and I know that playing the game is the best way to learn

[lean fossil]

I aint i js use it to model

[reef basin]

model what

[lean fossil]

exaclty how much i need of what to get what

[dense violet]

modeler isn't a guide, that's why.

it's a bad layout tool

[reef basin]

yeah, that's what I'm talking about. You don't learn anything if you just outsource it to a tool

[sturdy topaz]

question, is there a certain amount of subscribers I need to get a free steam key from coffee stain studios to make videos, the press option

[lean fossil]

ic.

[reef basin]

probably like 1000000000

idk, how would I know

[sturdy topaz]

idk

your like smart idk

[reef basin]

then why ping me with the question

[round tendon]

im just trying to figure out an easy way to add a storage in the middle of my screw production line so it doesnt all get used up

[sturdy topaz]

idk you know alot about the game

[reef basin]

and "the game" definitely doesn't include "CSS preferences"

[dense violet]

just add a storage between where it's made and used

[sturdy topaz]

meh maybe you secretly work with them

[reef basin]

generally you don't want to add storages to the middle of production

[dense violet]

but you don't use screws in building buildings, so not much point having a bunchg of screws

[cold berry]

I have automated everything but AI limiters that I have access to so far. My plan is to use basic recipes to craft everything up to that on my coal line, and then make a separate line for oil and use a bunch of funky hard drive recipes.

I will link them up eventually so I can not have to increase coal power when I run out on that side lol

[fleet raft]

Are there any known bugs with priority power switches?

I’ve got a power switch that’s showing max capacity of like 28k even when it’s not hooked up to anything.

[dense violet]

with hover packs, if you have any types of switches, you can stutter machines

but that's it

[dense violet]

priority power switches are global objects, they are all connected. So might just be showing your grid

[fleet raft]

Interesting

[carmine peak]

is there anyway i can exploit the wildlife for my benefit other than researching them

[hard stump]

On console. Is there a way to change the color of a patter without changing the foundation color at all?

[carmine peak]

can i make them work for me

bet

free labor, my favorite

i just unlocked the sink

can i ensl-i mean tame the giraffes as well

i think im sinking copper bolts rn

how do i tame them

[dense violet]

yeah you can manipulate any priority power switch from any PS you have on the map 🙂

[rose widget]

when abouts do you get the jetpack

i forgot

ty

[carmine peak]

i found one but idk where the rest are

and?

uhh 1st option

[spare prism]

@white briar are you serious you joined my game took my stuff then put yourself on a platform so i cant get my stuff back now :/ then left the game

[carmine peak]

i dont remeber but theres a huge crater near my base

where i spawned

[next ivy]

just go up

[white briar]

yes im sorry it was lowk too boring

[spare prism]

he has all the stufff

[white briar]

also i dropped the stuff on the ground not the platform

[next ivy]

deconstruct the platform

[white briar]

i even dropped you my zapper what are you on about😔

[spare prism]

but that doesnt make them fall that make them float

sorry gravity isnt allowed in fiscit

i have no factory or automation running rn

I have 5x power so my mission is to make 2 alien augmenters. I don't wanna make biomass burners rn bc I don't wanna chop down the entire world I already did that on another save before restating lol

[carmine peak]

how many is a good amount of dogs

[unkempt blade]

just use alien parts instead of plants and go nuts with biomass 😄

[spare prism]

yea but i dont have enough to run a factory

[unkempt blade]

If you help me get a work visa and I'll host a dedi once I get there

[carmine peak]

ive got 3 rn

[jagged nymph]

is there a limited amount of doggos you can tame

[next ivy]

no breeding ?

[jagged nymph]

nooo i cant make a factory floor out of doggos by filling the entire map with them

[next ivy]

i thought they respawn too

[supple canopy]

what about when you nuke them?

[jagged nymph]

gibber gabber geeb

[unkempt blade]

that's how you get doggozilla

#satisfactory message

[carmine peak]

i got 6 motors from one of the dogs

[jagged nymph]

how many hours though

WILD

thats an average of about 15 hours/day

dude has literally no life

ive had this game for like 3 years and have 400 hours 😭 although like 250 of that is in the last ~ 2 months

no actually his average is 9 hours/day

if this guy keeps up his pace for as long as leo has hell be at 31500

[carmine peak]

can i make the dogs not move

[jagged nymph]

paralyze them by breaking their spine

[inner ruin]

welp i finished making the oil extractor and refinery. something else i gotta learn. dont really know what im doing but i got it making that rolled plastic bag shii. also got another making that blue plastic and its making some purple liquid too which i also dont know what im supposed to do with

[carmine peak]

they brought me some stuff worth 2.5k points per

26 of them

[jagged nymph]

turn the heavy oil residue into fuel, turn the polymer resin into plastic or rubber

[inner ruin]

wait wait what is the purple one? the residue?

i closed the game so i cant look

[carmine peak]

like in a cage?

[jagged nymph]

yes

[inner ruin]

kk

[carmine peak]

i just put them in a box

[jagged nymph]

is that a bocks

[carmine peak]

they gave me computer

computer good

whats the best thing they can bring

[pure condor]

I just got the hoverpack and its literally the best thing ever oh my god

building is so easy

[next ivy]

dupe glitch

or scim

[carmine peak]

just fullboxed 3 hogs

whats the hog with the tusks called

yeah i full boxed one of those and 2 smaller ones

saw my first purple power slug in a cave

[bleak valley]

Gotta have epic games accounts iirc

[steady magnet]

So what happens to a vehicle when it falls off the map?

My Explorer fell off the map yesterday with me in it, and while it shows up on the map in a location, said location is unfortunately inside a mound, and it doesn't seem to be getting any movement whatsoever.

Will it eventually be destroyed?

Ok yeah I get that being a thing people did

... I'm saying that I accidentally drove a vehicle out of bounds, and I'm asking if there's a way to disassemble it or get it back.

Or even just delete it

It was an accident.

Saying to not do it again is kinda not helpful because I already know not to

scim?

[jagged nymph]

yeah scim

load up your save and delete it

[steady magnet]

what is scim

[jagged nymph]

satisfactory claculator interactive map

[steady magnet]

ok so, third party software?

[jagged nymph]

website but yes

[torn rover]

Does giving multiple priority switches in a power grid the same name group them together to be shut off all at once? (I.e turning off remote radar towers in a single click)

[jagged nymph]

im not sure, but why not ust hook up all the radar towers on the same grid seperate form the main one?

instead of each one on their own grid

[torn rover]

I suppose that would work at the cost of having 2 map-wide wire layouts

[steady magnet]

Ok so... How?

[ancient bridge]

guys i havent played in awhile and my factory was butt so im completely remaking it but how am i supposed to make it organized? like when i need to put some of something to the side but i need it later so i connect it to and assembler all the way down my trail of conveyors and stuff i just dk how to make it more organized

[steady magnet]

Work vertically as well as laterally

[jagged nymph]

i mean im not sure how to answer that other than "keep it organized"

it really depends on the specific situation and layout

[steady magnet]

Keep things straight, use conveyor wall anchors and ceiling anchors

Don't make a mess of wires.

[jagged nymph]

WHY

[ancient bridge]

i dont have wall anchors i just unlocked coal before i quit for awhile but im back i completely destroyed everything and im gonna remake... so essentially i should build up? i dont even know how that'd work

[jagged nymph]

ah

doggo go bye bye

[dense violet]

reload autosave

or use save editor

[steady magnet]

Use architectural tools.

Wall anchors are unlocked through the AWESOME Sink and AWESOME shop

[steady magnet]

Not happening, too long ago

[dense violet]

save editor it is

or just leave it

[jagged nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/urmom-gif-22801285

[steady magnet]

Again, I was asking HOW to use the save editor on the thing, and your advice isn't exactly... helpful

[jagged nymph]

load up the save, right click the tractor, click delete

[dense violet]

look up scim
upload your save in the slot where it says upload
look at teh settings to see the thing you want to edit
clikc on it
delete

the web page is pretty user friendly and intuitive for most things

[jagged nymph]

uh its not very user friendly for editing it to make it where it has the thing where you can do the thing where you build the factory

theres no ads wdym

[dense violet]

those were certainly words

[steady magnet]

Luckily I have adblocker

[jagged nymph]

oh wait i have an adblocker i forgot

[steady magnet]

Thank you

[steady magnet]

Seriously, everyone should use Firefox JUST SO you can use UBlock Origin.

[jagged nymph]

so i guess ubo lite just doesnt exist?

ubo lite is literally on chrome and it has most of the features you need

[dense violet]

Brave has ublock basically inbuilt

[ornate saffron]

But then how will the devs of scim get paid ?

[steady magnet]

Google changed stuff with their browser toolkit and pushed the update, and basically it means that every chromium based browser (95% of all browsers, basically), are heavily hostile to adblocking

[jagged nymph]

wrong

im literally on chrome using an adblocker right now

what they did change makes the original ubo stop working, but the new one works just fine with almost all the same features

[dense violet]

monoplies are bad for everyoen it's true

[steady magnet]

Yep!

[carmine peak]

just made automated reinforced iron plates and rotors

my cats name is dog

automated power!!

[wise junco]

congrats!!

[carmine peak]

is pollution a problem like in other factory games

[wise junco]

nope

[elder river]

hey, so, how do I put things on a shelf?

I've been trying for a bit, and it seems to usually just place itself on the floor, or stack with another similar object near by. But, I want to line up several of the same kind of object on a shelf to give kind of a store aesthetic.

[hexed turret]

and if someone is reading this... SAVE US IN RUSSIA! 78% of the internet is blocked!

[carmine peak]

(your welcome)

only we have a lot of restrictions there again... well, it's a mess there. and by 2030, you won't be able to access the internet without a VPN!

[cold berry]

Setting up a truck stop, didn't think I'd need roads

I still need roads

I've only got tractor RN, is the truck better without roads?

[hexed turret]

of course) I have a cat named Vasya

not about a lot of cats, that's nonsense. at most 2

[elder river]

trucks and tractors are better with roads, but both will run without them, IF you clear the route enough, and if the path is largely flat, and not too steep.

[woven zodiac]

98.4% of the Internet is trash anyway, so you have lots of margin left

[mystic island]

Guys I've been arguing with a friend and we need to settle a debate.

[cold berry]

I have two cats. Most I'd go is I want to get a 3rd when the cats are seniors to transition my wife and myself into new cat

[mystic island]

Do you build multiple small factories close to resources nodes or you make a giga factory and haul everything there?

[pure condor]

why are you able to unlock the ability to scan crude oil again at tier 8 ???

[hexed turret]

O_o We get jailed for being gay.

[fickle locust]

The original unlock is for oil nodes
The tier 8 is for oil wells, which you need the resource well pressurizer to harvest from

[pure condor]

ohhh thank you

[ornate saffron]

Essentially fraking

[twin parcel]

How much rocket fuel I can make without using sam ? Cuz I also want to go nuclear late game .

[ornate saffron]

600 oil some nitrogen sulfer and coal gives you 2400 rocket fuel

[wise junco]

an absolutely ridiculous amount

I'm turning 750 crude into 3000 rocket fuel and it will take me a considerably long time to even approach the line of needing power for a long time

[twin parcel]

Nah bro , 200 fuel gens is already a pain in the ass, I rather go nuclear and pollute the environment with radiation

[ornate saffron]

If you oc the generators they use exactly 10 rf a minute.

[wise junco]

oh no listen... i don't enjoy placing gen after gen. it's not fun. but it does get the job done

[ornate saffron]

So for 2400 rf you only need 240 generators

[ornate saffron]

A BP of four generators helps too

[wise junco]

240% OC on 240 generators using 2400 RF.... too pleasing of a set of numbers

[ornate saffron]

Its all in the document I sent you lol. I worked out some nice ratios.

[west jackal]

for real, untill you realize how many power shards that takes when youre trying to burn over 10 000 RF

[ornate saffron]

By the time you get that far you'll be able to make them

[fickle locust]

Automate the shards! You can make a lot of industrial storage containers

[wise junco]

i have been very diligent in my power slug hunting

they are now harder and harder to come by

[west jackal]

and youre t7 so you cant make them

[west jackal]

i was about to make 8000 of RF before finishing t8

[ornate saffron]

Lol

[west jackal]

decided to scale back to 1200 sulfur worth

[fickle locust]

The hardest part of the generators for me was I kept running out of motors

[west jackal]

yep

[fickle locust]

So I needed to make a temporary somersloop motor plant

[west jackal]

especially since i had turned off the motor production prior due to running out of power before making the small plant.

[sturdy topaz]

if I want to buy satisfactory do I have to get a J.O.B

[wise junco]

my life rn

[ornate saffron]

Oh I just make 10min and had them fill 5 industrial storage

[west jackal]

it is recommended pioneers do not work as the factory must grow

[fickle locust]

See I did the first part but didn't do the second part
So once the first container of motors was done I didn't have any more

[sturdy topaz]

how do I get the game without getting a J.O.B?

[west jackal]

its less than 30 bucks 🤷‍♂️

[ornate saffron]

I play at work

[sturdy topaz]

39.99*

the sales gone :(

[west jackal]

no sale for 27.99

[sturdy topaz]

no the sales gone

[west jackal]

oh, its been on sale for like 2 weeks

i bought my second copy like 2 weeks ago with the sale

[sturdy topaz]

yeah I just missed it

[sturdy topaz]

2nd??? why do you need two

[west jackal]

bought on epic before it went onto steam (almost 7 years ago)

[sturdy topaz]

ah

[fluid sapphire]

Takes somewhere between 30 minutes and 1 hour to build 600 generators with a decent blueprint

I spend more time decorating

[ornate saffron]

Three times I think. Twice as gifts

[west jackal]

its more of having enough resources in depot

[fickle locust]

Probably the next sale is summer

[sturdy topaz]

id love if you gifted it to me... jk lmao

[west jackal]

if it let me gift my old copy i would 🤷

[fluid sapphire]

#screenshots message

[west jackal]

thats a lot of osc, but i meant IN the depots

[ornate saffron]

You used to be able to gift games in your steam library long ago

[west jackal]

gotta wait for the depot to refill between placements

[west jackal]

really?

[fluid sapphire]

The stack size only gets you so far, the real bottleneck is upload speed

[west jackal]

ik

i have maxed speed i think

[fluid sapphire]

No problem, 6-8 uploaders for everything

[west jackal]

lmao no

might need to consider 2 for motors/rubber for now though

[ornate saffron]

Concrete and steel beams are more go to for several depots

[fluid sapphire]

I am talking about when building lots of generators, that's what it takes to build quickly

[twin parcel]

Well I built my first 115 fuel gens using mk1 blueprints . It took a lot of time , had to afk to wait for rubber and heavy encased beams .

[west jackal]

already have multiple concrete i think, but i meant temporarily

[fluid sapphire]

I had 6 uploaders for copper sheets, I needed to increase it to 8

[west jackal]

dang, with mk2 you can fit 4 gens per bp

[fluid sapphire]

2 already makes it quick :p

[west jackal]

you can fit 2 in a mk1?

they are 2.5 wide, how can you do that?

[fluid sapphire]

Ah, no, I guess not, mk2 though

[west jackal]

mk2 can fit 4 🙂

[twin parcel]

Nope just 1 fuel gen , I designed them to be stackable vertically.

[fluid sapphire]

That's the way

[west jackal]

well, thats your choice, you masochistic freak 😛

[fluid sapphire]

I did the same, vertical auto connecting pipes, daisy chainable power with one plug per blueprint

[west jackal]

im just playing btw, if you didnt get the sarcasm

[twin parcel]

Well I didn't unlock mk2 blueprint that time , so gotta do it .

It is what it is .

[west jackal]

eh, when i do it with that i just put 1 on a bp with the junction in front to make it a little easier

[fluid sapphire]

Not sure why you wouldn't, considering how trivial it is to unlock at that point in the game though

[ornate saffron]

Well......

You could make a creative save. Make the bp then transfer it to your other save

[west jackal]

no beef or i wouldve done that for mk3 rf bp

instead of cobbling together the mk2

[ornate saffron]

You can though lol

[twin parcel]

Dam I didn't think of that

[west jackal]

nono, i KNOW i can. i mean that I wont

[ornate saffron]

Cast your morality to the fire and burn away yours fear!

If you do bp transferring can be your as well as forbidden clipping

[ornate saffron]

I've expanded copper sheets to 3-constructors out and have my first truck route going back and forth between it and caterium wire to make AI limiters.

I've almost hooked up everything I could have gotten before the oil phase which I just unlocked.

[left knot]

i just got to phase 4 and im very intimidated

[cold berry]

I think I'm going to pretty up those factories, set up the DD's to them, and basically make my next factories in creative mode lol

Like, after I set up rubber and plastic lines, cap off my shit and start my computer line with circuit boards as my first super factory

Right now I have like, at most 6 smelters for my nodes. And only 3 on some.

I've gotta rip apart my basic iron setup and remake it before I move on, and up a lot of productions.

[white dawn]

Welcome to the crunchiest part of the game! :D

Just take it a resource at a time, you'll get through it. :)

[lethal sandal]

thats the worst?

[west jackal]

phase 5

oh, probably aluminum? its needed for everything and untill you figure it out, the waste water can be a pain to deal with. aside from that? nuclear pasta requires a metric f ton of copper

[pure condor]

do i need a pump for gas like I do liquid?

or I mean do I need the little thing that pushed liquid up

or does it go up on its own

[crude onyx]

i think not iirc. gas doesn't need headlift

[west jackal]

no

gas has unlimited headlift 😄

not sure how it flows down

like fluids prioritize being lower

[crude onyx]

i have a question myself with pipeline, anyone has a good vids on how to deal with long pipeline ? i have 8 pipe of RF 500m^3 each and i can't get 500 on all of them. the pipeline is quite long and i've tried nearly anything that came to my mind to deal with it

[west jackal]

uh, what is the problem?

long pipes shouldnt be an issue for 500/min

[crude onyx]

its for fuel generator, and the pipe (at the entrance of each bloc of generator, 1 pipe for 120 generator) is not a 500m3, not on all of them, making my generator start and stop

[cold berry]

Dimensional Drives make the game so much better. I was sleeping on these lol

Mercer spheres were just annoying to collect

[west jackal]

i would need more detailed/clear explanation, but let the generators fill before turning them on? are you sure youre making 500/min? do you have any mk1 pipes on the long pipe segment

[sharp viper]

How do people build so well in this game

Everything I build looks like shit

[fickle locust]

Make a thread in #1038092680493801533 with some photos and we can help more

[willow pond]

anyone else think the NE desert kinda looks like a navy fleet turned to stone

[restive sandal]

I'm trying to set up a connection to a Drop Pod so I can get the sweet data inside, but it says it needs 120 MW.

I've hooked up three biomass burners to it, but it keeps declining it and breaking down. Why isn't it working?

[willow pond]

cuz those are 30MW each

[serene jolt]

Wait what?!

[restive sandal]

Ah, okay

[willow pond]

only the biomass burners on the hub are 40MW

[dense violet]

practice and planning mostly 🙂 there's also lots of yt vids with neat architect tricks

[dense violet]

it's not a big deal, headlift is almost a nothing mechanic in the game as it is

[sturdy topaz]

found some money and bought the game 🔥

[crude onyx]

alright thanks, i'll make that tomorrow, its pretty late (or early, in a way) here. thanks for the help guy

[sturdy topaz]

question

what map should I do, rocky desert or grass fields

[dense violet]

it's the same map, just dif locations

grassy is probably simplest for newbies, as it mentions

lots of flat spaces, nodes everywhere, very chill

[sturdy topaz]

alright

ima do grass fields

[abstract heron]

i am currently watching someone break crap

blandrew breaking paths again teleporting

[sturdy topaz]

How do I pause the game? cause it seems to run in the background when I click esc

[abstract heron]

andrew is breaking the game again

[bitter dust]

not sure. im new too. well. i played this when it first came out in early access at least. lol so i forgot

[dense violet]

you don't

but it's very easy to be in a spot where nothing happens to you

[sturdy topaz]

oh lmao

[white dawn]

I believe that the forthcoming v1.2 has an option to actually pause the game while you're in the menu

[sturdy topaz]

ah

[white dawn]

Should arrive within a couple months

[sturdy topaz]

that will be good

[quick barn]

Better to blueprint a panic room anyway.

Cram the staple stations in it.

Mobs can't open the doors

[sturdy topaz]

alright yeah ill do that

I may be dumb but how do I move/delete buildings?

[maiden jackal]

does anyone have a link/guide to a factory layout for phase 4 of the space elevator? cheers

[bitter dust]

help i just landed and im gathering iron

[maiden jackal]

F by default to delete

[sturdy topaz]

thanks

[sharp viper]

Do yall prefer Concrete or Coated Concrete?

[dense violet]

hold CTRL while deleting to delete multiple objects

[dense violet]

depends on the situation

[jolly solstice]

usually concrete

[dense violet]

you can get some nice reflective light effects with coated. usually use it indoors

[sharp viper]

Is the entire swamplands area covered in radiation?

I went there and instantly died to rads

[dense violet]

nope.

you didn't pick any up did you?

[bitter dust]

theres this huge fat dinosaur looking thing will it kill me

[wind ore]

do you drive on the left or right side of the road on this planet

[sturdy topaz]

left, its basically europe

[valid glade]

bro wdym

it's obviously somewhere in Colorado so you drive on the right smh

[dense violet]

it's your friend. Jump on it

[sturdy topaz]

#screenshots message

what in the hell is this ^^^

[dense violet]

friendly giant space tick girraffe penguin thing

[sturdy topaz]

is it friendly...

[dense violet]

jump on it if you can

[sturdy topaz]

hes nice but scary as hel

[dense violet]

he likes giving rides

[sturdy topaz]

wont let me hop on

[hushed marsh]

For a hypertube junction, how do I switch which direction I'm traveling on controller?

[warm finch]

#satisfactory-memes message

[dense violet]

that's cute xD

[sturdy topaz]

Why does my power grid keep shutting down the second I start it?

[dense violet]

disconnet yoru factory from your power station before restart

[fiery pewter]

Biomass?

Overload

Build more generators

[sturdy topaz]

#screenshots message

its the built in biomass

[dense violet]

disconnect your power system from your main factory grid first

[fiery pewter]

capacity is at 20
max usage is at 40

[sturdy topaz]

im tryna open up a drop pod door

[sturdy topaz]

ah okay

[fiery pewter]

mrow

-# I am impersonating a cat

[willow pond]

so what makes the game crash when you try to pick up leaves in a certain area

well, not crash, but freeze in place until you hard kill it

[dense violet]

not much, the game is generally stable
1.2?
mods?

if not that I'd guess something on your rig

[willow pond]

unmodded 1.1

and it's easily repeatable, crashing in the exact same way & spot

[cunning glade]

Compacted coal worth it

It's low-key tempting cuz I have a tad bit of coal too play with and I'll find out if I have sulfur

[wind ore]

would truck stop at an intersection or would they crash into each othert

[unreal fog]

sorry to reply so late but I thought this should be highlighted as DLSS Screen Percentage keeps resetting to default for me every time the game is shut down and restarted. Posted about this here https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/671e1eccddb9d97e07208f51

[willow pond]

ok for some reason my system had OC'd my ram and made my system unstable 🤣 all good now

[meager fern]

i havent played the game in a bit, but im kind of hyped for the building daisy chaining

thats something that ive been wanting to do for awhile

[willow pond]

hopefully it'll help keep the total part count down

[fiery pewter]

Daisy chaining is only unlockable after mk3 power poles

[fiery pewter]

It will work the same as the trains do. They'll stop if the intersection is occupied

[dense violet]

all it does is turn sulfur to coal if you're burning it

[void gorge]

I'm still on this crusade

[next scarab]

when update 1.2?

[void gorge]

#savedaisychaining

[void gorge]

Yes

[twin parcel]

hmm, what do people use turbo fuel for ? jetpacks?

[ivory condor]

Yeah im going to be honest, this decision makes no sense to me. This should be a core feature available as early as possible, not something unlocked after mk3 power poles

[void gorge]

https://discordapp.com/channels/370472939054956546/455858725518049280/1486994496700026902

[ivory condor]

At the very least move it to some place earlier in the mam, send help

[cyan leaf]

Mostly for fuel gens cause u can fuel more gens

[past willow]

Is the new option for node generation “Random“ actually random or is the distribution the same and only locations are mixed up?

[void gorge]

The latter

[past willow]

Ok thats good. Tyvm for answering

[ivory condor]

Has a qa post been made about this already, if not im going to make one now, because really can this please be changed😭

[void gorge]

Haven't been on the QA site all week, that's mainly the devs' territory to track and determine, lately I've just been acting funneller

That said, daisies specifically is something I'm hounding the leads about

[normal orbit]

maybe if you appease em with a boquet of daisies :p

[void gorge]

Pretty sure a couple more beers is what'll finally win them over lol

[normal orbit]

could mebbe be arranged :p

[reef basin]

Yeah

[misty sluice]

what is happening with my satisfactory

[desert plover]

Question is which one

[hard ivy]

Turbo ammo, sometimes turbo diamonds
nothing else

[void gorge]

Which beer? Or dev?

[desert plover]

Both? Haha

[void gorge]

I've a vague idea for dev

[desert plover]

I'm more of a cider guy myself

[void gorge]

No clue about beer, I don't drink

[desert plover]

Does ficsit have the same regulations as other workplaces regarding drinking? I swear drunk Pioneers racing in Factory Carts would be hilarious as hell

[wintry carbon]

you sure can try it out in august in the coffee cup race !!!

[wintry carbon]

hope you atleast drink water ...

[desert plover]

💥

[void gorge]

Would you believe I even prefer still over carbonated?

[desert plover]

Carbonated just keeps ya from getting to the juice! Damn air

[normal orbit]

carbonated water is just sour water. i also prefer still :p

[desert plover]

I wonder if the top left "Experimental" banner was ever discussed to be toggleable / increased in transparency 👀

[normal orbit]

i could imagine oled users would like to remove it

[desert plover]

Yeah I'm on QD-OLED

Heard others being worried about it due to burn-in, so just being able to increase its transparency would go a long way already

[ivory condor]

If you get a oled you know what you signed up for

That being said i still use ips myself, decent enough quality, mostly waiting to see what panel technology is worth getting next

[obsidian zodiac]

good morning gamers

[zenith pecan]

Morning!

[obsidian zodiac]

most modern oleds actually have built in burn-in protection. one technique is with software that shuffles the pixels around every now and then

i left my fancy alienware ultrawide oled monitor in the US

[leaden turret]

MASSAGE-2(A-B)b Pale Berry Kombucha

[tacit lagoon]

Sounds yummy

[leaden turret]

• gamecube controller ✅
• ultrawide monitor ❌

priorities

[ivory condor]

Ewww shift the pixels around, isnt that going to make things a blurry mess

[normal orbit]

shift the pixels randomly like the random nodes :p

[ivory condor]

I heard about that, just didnt sound like a great idea and moving pixels around, doesnt sound great either from a visual stand point

[obsidian zodiac]

you really dont notice it. if you blink youll have missed it hah

my monitor also would sense if it was on the same screen for more than like 30 min, no movement or anything, it would then do a refresh

[hard ivy]

Oh, I notice it
Especially when the dumb thing puts some of the image offscreen

[normal orbit]

is the screen somewhat larger than advertised then if its shifting a few pixels left/right up/down, doesnt it eventually cut off some pixels at an edge?

[ivory condor]

Im going "Opps all sam"

Being able to make the nodes what i want via scim has so many interesting twists you can do here

[hard ivy]

Someone's gonna make a challenge map putting all iron nodes in caves

[ivory condor]

Hmm idk, scim only allows changing existing nodes

Making a custom map would require some modding skills

[hard ivy]

That's what I assumed
I meant that they're gonna make all nodes in caves iron nodes and all nodes outside of caves not iron nodes

[ivory condor]

In the current map there are only a few nodes in caves, that being iron ore source only sure would limit you with iron

Challenge map indeed

[green fiber]

Oops all Alchemy type of deal?

[cold berry]

I've got full storage bins of mechanical frames, all the copper items, all the iron items, motors, AI limiters, quick wire, all the copper stuff, steel, basically all the stuff before oil. Time to do oil lol. Then I start my second factory on this same save after I beautify.

This first time I went for like, outposts connected by tractors. I like that setup and wanna do something similar for trains.

[green fiber]

"Want ores? Make em yourself! Heres 20 Converters"

Have fun powering those in Tier 1 i guess

[ivory condor]

Thats "Opps all sam"

[green fiber]

does sound fun tbh

But not with 5x power

[ivory condor]

To do alchemy you need convertor unlocked from start and alot of sam

[hard ivy]

Would need oil nodes unfortunately
Unless you add a recipe for it

[green fiber]

That sounds like stuff for mods

[ivory condor]

Why you need 0.25 power rule with it to

[iron locust]

sup guys im new to satisfactory anyone got any tips?

[green fiber]

Like extra challenge modes

[ivory condor]

Yes, oil nodes are needed still

[hard ivy]

Converter does have a fluid output

I wonder why they didn't add a recipe for it

There is one for nitrogen

[sterile blade]

Satisfactory Seeds Rank List when?

[cold berry]

I've had no pipe headaches this time and that scares me honestly. Like, I hooked up 4 water extractors to 10 max power coal plants and there were no issues. I had issues last time. I feel like oil is going to be annoying for some reason.

[dense violet]

pay attention to the commands you see under your cursor as you build and do things
the menus change with different actions so keep checking them 🙂

[ivory condor]

Soon

[iron locust]

thank you

[sterile blade]

I could see it in-game, tbh... Kind of like a special AGS tailored to create challenge playthroughs (I can't think of any other than the one about Converters, atm, but surely people have more creativity than me ^^)

[dense violet]

oh and treat the tiers and milestones like a tutorial, with phase 5 unlocking a sandbox mode you can do your own projects with

also, research MAM stuff as soon as you can, incredibly useful stuff in ther e

[ivory condor]

Though i dont think my "opps all sam" has any seed that can work for this

[iron locust]

alright

amma go ask one of my friends if he want to play actually

[green fiber]

Only if you also skip all Tiers like i did

Then you can grind towards the shop and abuse coupons

[iron locust]

nvm hes offline

[dense violet]

if you do that, try sharing in eveyr project, otherwise you lose out on the skills gained by each task.
I'm serious about the milestones being a tutorial. It's a very well laid out process

[ivory condor]

Though it would be pretty funny if this had a seed anyways

[iron locust]

yeah thanks

[cold berry]

Look for Caterium, Quartz, Sulfur, the alien items, power slugs, monsters, hard drives etc on your own. Exploration is more key than you might think when you boot it up. The game won't push you to get these things, and in my first playthrough I was at tier phase 3 and was like "why don't I have windows?"

[ivory condor]

I use scim to unlock convertor in my case

[cold berry]

I went in blind and wish I was told that one thing.

[iron locust]

alright

[cold berry]

Then go to MAM to get these items crafting recipes

[hard ivy]

I mean a seed has to uniquely define the arrangement of nodes

If they're smart, they'd have the seeds cover all the possible arrangements

[iron locust]

alright thank you so much

[ivory condor]

But im limiting myself i can only use cheats to a degree to make it playable and still have to setup all production

[cold berry]

The alien items include SPOILERS; ||a node called "SAM" providing the automatable crafting item of the MAM tree which is necessary for both branches, Mercer Spheres which will increase item storage capabilities massively but are rare and Somersloops which I won't spoil the lore of but increase overclocking capabilities.||

[iron locust]

alright thank you

i just got in game

[ivory condor]

Idk need to look into it more

[green fiber]

With AGS you can technically just skip all, start somewher, grind out something with the materials.you get from skipping Tier 0 and then buy Tier 9 stuff from the shop.with coupons, sink them and then buy more stuff with the profit

Only downside is you gotta grind out the 100 fluctuators yourself

[ivory condor]

Thats a idea, im still working out the details myself to

Because this is a very custom game mode

[hard ivy]

Though to cover all possibilities, you'd need 33^459 seeds

Which is uhh... a lot

10^697

[ivory condor]

Thats a number

[hard ivy]

Minecraft has 10^20 seeds

[ivory condor]

So even more seeds than minecraft

[hard ivy]

If you don't care about purity, it's only 10^478

So yeah, I don't think they have all possibilities covered

[ivory condor]

Hmmm yeah the size number of the seeds suggests not

Its alot but not quite big enough

[unkempt blade]

What would we be using that many seeds for anyway?

[green fiber]

Gambling

[unkempt blade]

I at least sort of understand why you'd want to be able to reproduce the same start but I'm just not really sure why I need some enormous number of seeds vs like... tens of thousands or something I know the words for 😆

[ivory condor]

To cover all possible ore and well combinations

Which i dont think current seeds do

[unkempt blade]

yeah I think I'm asking what's the value add for every combination vs a very large number like 5 or 6 digits

[tall lodge]

Thats not how that works.

[unkempt blade]

Like if I use a seed in civ6 it's not make a decision for every single hex tile in every possible combination. It's giving it a number for the generator algo so it's deterministic

[ivory condor]

It is now because i can do any combination i want to via scim

I am beyond even seed values

[tall lodge]

To begin with they have limits on things as they said themselves so the possibility space is a lot narrower. So just because a seed is longer does not necessarily mean the possibility space it creates is bigger.

We know that there are always x nodes even on the most random setting to ensure the game is finishable with random settings, which cuts down a huge chunk of the possibility space.

[ivory condor]

Im not limited because of scim

[tall lodge]

I have no idea what SCIM is

[unkempt blade]

I've done a lot of work with seeded PRNGs and the seed is really just there so it knows where to start the algo from not to represent all the "decisions" in the result

[ivory condor]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map basically we can do now do any kind of ore and well combination we can image now

its called scim for short

because that tool allows setting and ore and purity combination, for ore and well locations, so we arent limited by what the game allows via the regular ui

anyways its pretty fun, opens up alot of possibilities now

[tall lodge]

I mean whoever wants that more power to them, I rather play the game as designed 🙂

[ivory condor]

im currently doing a play through with literally all ore nodes changed to sam, because this is pretty fun

[ivory condor]

technically ore nodes can be changed now, so this is by design, mostly😉

i mean the game is allowing any of this, clearly the design allows this style of play

and i say that having to use convertors here at the beginning of the game, who am i kidding this isnt normal

[desert plover]

Belated good morning nerd!

[desert plover]

Its so worth it. Just need satisfactory to get native HDR support and I'm happy

[ivory condor]

I looked at oled, its good image quality for sure, still im waiting to see what else i might get instead

[desert plover]

Let me guess. AW3423DW? I got the successor model which released last year, the AW3425DW, 240Hz

[ivory condor]

mini-led and micro-led looks promising also, some other panel techs to

i considered getting a mini-led display recently but didnt pull the trigger

[desert plover]

You gotta wait longer for those to get really good. In the meantime, I'm enjoying 3rd Gen QD-OLED ❤️

[ivory condor]

still might get a mini-led at some point soon, ill see

[normal orbit]

Very happy with my giant ips :)

[ivory condor]

its fine, mini-led is also pretty decent already, just needs more dimming zones and then its gold

[desert plover]

I had VA prior to that, God awful color smearing

[ivory condor]

ips has gotten pretty good in quality over the years, why im not jumping on the next tech bandwagon yet

my next one will probably be either mini-led, though im hoping micro-led can become mainstream soon also

[misty sluice]

isnt the studio in sweden? or are you working remote

[ivory condor]

sounds like they were in the us recently for some reason hmmm

[desert plover]

Jason moved

[unkempt blade]

I've got a AW3418DW that's going strong still

[ivory condor]

wait was jason in the us and moved to sweden?

[uneven path]

yes jason's american

[ivory condor]

hmmm

[uneven path]

?

what does that "hmm" even mean here? 🤣

[ivory condor]

oh i just didnt know that

[uneven path]

They can actually! Hope that clears up the confusion 😄

[ivory condor]

lets stop this discussion now ok🙂

[uneven path]

<@&370483737957236737> please can you confirm this?

[ivory condor]

my disappointment remains regardless

[dense violet]

so you were being a shit

[uneven path]

bruh, you gotta get better at ragebaiting

like, weak game fr

[ivory condor]

anyways back to discussing about the game

[fiery pewter]

This is his alr

Alt*

[ornate saffron]

Does the pioneers milkshakes bring all the spiders to the yard?

[fiery pewter]

I reported his main account after reading his main account's bio

[ornate saffron]

Or just the beans

[fiery pewter]

What.

[ornate saffron]

[ivory condor]

confused

[ornate saffron]

Don't worry about it. Its a poor joke

[ivory condor]

[fiery pewter]

<@&387163995947270144>

Lol

[misty sluice]

is there a way to make it thunder storm via console

[fiery pewter]

Probably, don't ask me though

[uneven path]

there are commands for it but I think they're dev only commands

[misty sluice]

there is a console

[uneven path]

I know

and i'm saying those specific commands are dev only

[ivory condor]

i looked at the commands, if anything its dev only, available commands dont offer alt of control, maybe once mods work?

cant wait for severe extreme weather mod

[misty sluice]

oh damn

[ivory condor]

enjoy your constant lightning and thunder storms and btw the rain isnt ever ending

[obsidian zodiac]

lol yes pioneers can be gay

this isnt funny 🙂

[ivory condor]

Well now its settled, confirmed🌈

Anyway, im looking forward to seeing what mods might be able to do with the weather, make it more extreme, idk

[lean fossil]

is there alt recipe that is recipier for concrete?

[ivory condor]

Its hard to say how much the system could be modified

[fiery pewter]

Hurricane mod

[cold berry]

Uuuughhhghghghh. I've got 20 sink tickets and it isn't enough. I need like 40 to get all the stuff I want

[ornate saffron]

Wet concrete

[ivory condor]

Soon hopefully

[fiery pewter]

Fine concrete, wet concrete

[lean fossil]

IH AD THAT AND I SKIPPED IT

[uneven path]

rubber concrete too

[lean fossil]

REGRET

I was like "This recipe is stupid why would i even need it"

[misty sluice]

do you work remote or do you work in sweden at the office?

[ivory condor]

It would be fun playing with a unending hurricane weather present

[cold berry]

Are the space elevator parts good for sinking? Because I could just make like 10 assemblers always doing that

[fiery pewter]

Ye

[ivory condor]

So extreme its like im actually in a hurricane itself

[obsidian zodiac]

i work in sweden along with the rest of the team 🙂

[cold berry]

With that knowledge, I may actually make permanent factories for those items. Huh.

[misty sluice]

Nice

[dense violet]

it typically is just more points for each processing you do, jsut sink excess of stuff you have at hand

[ivory condor]

I wonder what happened to Jasons monitor now hmmm

[uneven path]

It's worth doing, you'll want them fully automated later anyway

[cold berry]

If I just make a box to the side filling up with them every other one, I could skip parts of phases and only work on the new part

I feel silly. Making a space elevator parts factory.

[ivory condor]

Don't worry I'm in the us, ill go find your monitor and make good use of it Jason, just tell me where it is😹

[cold berry]

And the assemblers work so slow even at max that I can just like, use tractors.

[uneven path]

why would making a space elevator parts factory be silly?

[ivory condor]

Come jason you cant use the monitor is Sweden, let me have it😉

[ornate saffron]

Tbf you can't use it till phase 3 anyways

[lean fossil]

dude.

Why didnt they tel me that before i deleted my entire factory

[uneven path]

time to reload a save i guess

[ornate saffron]

The game gives the player much choice. Must frustrations are self inflicted. Im a pro at self inflicted frustration

[ornate saffron]

?

[uneven path]

"why didn't they tell me that before i deleted my entire factory"

sound to me like they need to reload a save

[twin parcel]

stich iron plates vs adhere iron plates?

[uneven path]

stitched is better imo

[ivory condor]

Yes its great

[ornate saffron]

Whichever supports the resources you are willing to spend

[zenith pecan]

I deleted a lot of factories, only to build monsters in their place 🤣

[ivory condor]

I love choices, especially knowing the self inflicted pain my own choices will bring

[lean fossil]

I dismantled something and i didnt get my rotors back

[zenith pecan]

Was your inventory full? if so the rotors will be in a dismantle crate.

[lean fossil]

oh thank god

[wind ore]

why do truck works a lot better when im not looking, are they shy

[lean fossil]

there isnt a dismantle crate-

[vagrant oar]

trucks are pre-built with Autism, as soon as they are perceived and consciously observed, they fail at any basic instruction /hj

[ornate saffron]

Likely because they are not being rendered

[zenith pecan]

At all? one can be quite far away sucking in all the overflows from a wide area.

[ivory condor]

long story short, trucks jump from node to node when far away, giving them better reliability and become less reliable as you get closer, because physics, etc start to kick in

the most reliable truck is one that remains unseen basically

[vagrant oar]

physics always ruin everything 😮‍💨

[ivory condor]

train mvp apu

less physics to worry about

[lean fossil]

i need someone who's all about prettiness

[tall lantern]

#design-and-architecture

[lean fossil]

ty

[lean fossil]

honetsly wish the game had a zoom feature

[tall lantern]

photo mode?

[ornate saffron]

i used photo mode

[lean fossil]

the game still runs when photo mode is active?

[wise junco]

Morning yall. Build the best factories today!

[proven snow]

Now I'm feeling a lot of pressure

[wise junco]

Build the worst factories today!

[proven snow]

I'm only in phase 0 and not used to building pretty, but I will try my best. I do have a lot of tickets to buy stuff

[wise junco]

Build the factories that make you happy today!

of course

[fluid sapphire]

wouldnt worry about aesthetics too much until you have proper tooling to make that easier

[unkempt blade]

all of my factories are equally best

[ornate saffron]

wish all your straight conveyors twist at the end

[clear aspen]

What’s up chat

[ornate saffron]

the sun

[clear aspen]

I see

[ornate saffron]

depending on your version of up. I say its away from the closest gravity well

Ender would say the enemy gate is down though

[ornate saffron]

calling me a nerd is the pot callingthe kettle black mr NPP fact

[clear aspen]

Huh

[ornate saffron]

hows school

[clear aspen]

Boring

[ornate saffron]

its school not cool.

[clear aspen]

Fair, I’m just sitting around rn, schools doesn’t start for another hour or so

[tall lodge]

I would give my lifetime earnings to be able to be back in school, enjoy it while you can 🙂

[fluid sapphire]

i am sure you can find one and walk in for free

[spare prism]

GOOOOD Morrrning

[fluid sapphire]

whats so good about it 👴

[real shale]

School is cool

[tall lodge]

If a dude in his mid fourties would walk into a school for teenagers I think they would either assume I am there to pick up my kid or give me the side eye.

[spare prism]

Another day to play satisfactory

[fluid sapphire]

wear a vest and glasses while holding some books, easily pass as a substitute teacher

[real shale]

"Catch me if you can" movie type vibes

[ornate saffron]

ew no

[fluid sapphire]

yeah if anyone asks you can say you are mr frank abagnale

[real shale]

Also why is everyone here so much older than me, this isn't supposed to happen, everyone be younger please

[heady grove]

sorry but what time is it where you are because im from germany

[real shale]

Not abagnally not abagnaelly ABAGNALE

[spare prism]

USA its 9am

[ornate saffron]

i dont choose to be old. thats just how time owrks

[fluid sapphire]

i am too old to be young

[heady grove]

ok

[ornate saffron]

on the east coast anyways

[real shale]

I am 23 and I feel too young here

[fluid sapphire]

haha you are a baby, relax

[ornate saffron]

Awwww you are just a baby

[tall lodge]

I am in my mid fourties

[ornate saffron]

same

[spare prism]

The best coast

[real shale]

Didn't know I was in a retirement home sorry

[fluid sapphire]

boom, roasted,

i mean oof, myself included

[real shale]

I am just starting my career as an electrical engineer, got so much to learn

[tall lodge]

Also its kinda funny. I started a save on experimental with 0.25x rates across the board. And you would totally suspect that you can rush super easy through the tiers and you can, but I am still in tier 1 and 2 and actually build at scale for once because I am not pressured to bumrush for coal.

Way more enjoyable then I thought it would be honestly.

[fluid sapphire]

sure, i always thought that the game for me doesnt really even start until i get to coal

[remote marsh]

i feel to young to play this game hif 23 is just a baby

[tall lodge]

At the end of the day all that matters is if you have fun or not

[ornate saffron]

"I kid

[fluid sapphire]

just a testament to the game that it attracts all ages

[remote marsh]

i'm 14 and i really like factory games

i'm studying Architecture

[fluid sapphire]

everyone out here learning fancy stuff, me out here making pizza for a living haha

[ornate saffron]

im at work too

[fluid sapphire]

well its my day off, but in general

[remote marsh]

pizza is just edible architecture if you think about it

[ornate saffron]

ah, its the slow season. I need to be here to answer the odd question and fulfill the odd order. but im basically paid to do nothing. they cant afford to loose my knowledge so they keep me around year long

[fluid sapphire]

not a bad place to be, it sounds like

[ornate saffron]

although during the summer i work 70 hour weeeks

[tall lodge]

Unlike the cryptid that is the pioneer humans need food. So anyone who serves food deserves praise imho. Especially if its pizza. I literally ordered some not two minutes ago 😉

Because today has been busy and the wife rightfully had no interest in prepping a meal and neither did I.

[fluid elbow]

Yall what should I do if I find a glowing node in a cave

Like a ore node

[ornate saffron]

likely uranium. AKA pain rocks

[tall lodge]

Depends on the node. Is it the spicey rocks or the timey wimey rocks?

[tall lantern]

same thing you do with any other node. if you need it, use it. if you don't, make a mental note that it's there and leave it

[fluid elbow]

Is it usable anywhere near phase 2 of the space elevator

[tall lodge]

God that reminds me of exploring when we still had to use beacons to mark things down.

[tall lantern]

still depends what it is

but again, you'll know when you need it

[fluid elbow]

Idk but it's glowing in a really nice looking cave

[spare prism]

What if your like dory and forget

[tall lodge]

I mean you will know if you approach it and loose health you know its the spicey rock 😉

[tall lantern]

then leave a map marker

there's not much point pre-emptively mining stuff you don't have a use for

[fluid elbow]

Well its radioactive when I wanted to place down a drill to take some with me for good measure

Since I'm exploring

[tall lodge]

Well then thats your answer. Its not exactly practical to carry something with you that is highly radioactive and wants to actively oof you.

[fluid elbow]

Oh so I get radiation sickness if I take it

Alr

[ornate saffron]

if you happen to have power near you can drop a miner on it and feed them ddirectly into a awesome sink for easy points

Hey come on now, body shaming is not cool

[ornate saffron]

Yall how big can stingers get

[proven snow]

Looks like a woman to me

[fluid elbow]

Cause I found one bigger than me

[proven snow]

It probably just wants to give you a hug

They're terribly misunderstood creatures

[ornate saffron]

well the biggest ones are poisonous cloud wanders

Hi, I keep getting an “array index out of bounds” crash in Satisfactory 1.1. It happens on client in multiplayer when receiving network data (no mods).
Is this a known issue or is there any fix/workaround?

[real shale]

Select an array index that's in bounds, jk uhhhhhh probably best to go to #1038092680493801533 for this

[fleet geyser]

ok, thanks

[fluid elbow]

Yall ever seen a gigant stinger and a gigant spitter fight?

[ornate saffron]

yup

Stingers attack everything

they violent

[fleet geyser]

I think it is an ongoing issue since 1.1 release

[ornate saffron]

#design-and-architecture message

[fleet geyser]

I dont think there is any fix, if the factory is large, the bug will become more and more frequent.

[ornate saffron]

https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1394130249608073278

maybe this can help

[fleet geyser]

I just tried but not helping

[ornate saffron]

i would go to the QA site next as that is where they get the info for what to fix

[fleet geyser]

I think it might be related to the PC's performance. My computer is pretty good, and it crashes an average of 2-3 times a night, while my friend's crashes more than 10 times.

[fleet geyser]

I've read through most of the related posts but haven't found a working solution, so I finally came to Discord.

I hope this bug will be fixed in 1.2; I'll refrain from playing until then.😭

[ornate saffron]

ya, up vote the one that represents your issue they decide on bug fix priority partially with community engagement. so the best way to get a perminate fix is to upvote

[fleet geyser]

This is a very common bug. Many people on my server and my friends' servers have encountered it. Multiplayer crashes are life. According to QA posts, this problem has existed for at least a year.

🤔

[ornate saffron]

then get all your freinds to upvote too

[tranquil bolt]

I actually havent had any multiplayer crashes, my server has been up and running non stop for about 6 months hosted by me on my wifi. I dunno. Are you guys using a host service for it?

[fleet geyser]

The server(host) never crash, only client crash

Initially, I used my own computer as the host and played online with friends on Steam. My friend kept experiencing crashes, and I thought it was a network issue or a problem with my computer. Later, I switched to Dedicated Server, but I still experienced the same crashes. And sometimes the crash error messages were quite different.

🫠

[tranquil bolt]

I host it off my work server computer which is a thread ripper. Ive never crashed off it tho and i guess the computer i game off is a client since its not hosting

Maybe i just havent played enough. I have heard of the problem tho

[spare prism]

bruh discord is so buggy omg

[tranquil bolt]

Someone should make a mod that lets the factory cart have a sink internally in it. Thatd be really convenient

[raven axle]

<3 @ornate saffron

[tranquil bolt]

Then i wouldnt have a sink on every production line

[ornate saffron]

the modding Discord is the place fort this

[tranquil bolt]

Oh my bad

[native tapir]

Kinda feelin like we should overthrow Jason today.

[tranquil bolt]

I dont know who jason is, but im always a fan of chaos so🤷‍♂️

[ornate saffron]

all good. this is a okay place for this. But the modding discord you would find more ears

[spare prism]

you can replace me with him my name is Jayson

[native tapir]

Jakes is already overthrown.

[ornate saffron]

part of CSS community team

[native tapir]

It is now our name jakes

[native tapir]

Only if we don't overthrow him and topple his regime, sure.

[spare prism]

come join my world i have a cave for you to go in

😈

[native tapir]

Okay. I always go into small dark places when invited by strangers so you have really piqued my interest here.

[tranquil bolt]

I like caves. Caves are cool. Just give me a hover pack and power lines in there

[native tapir]

Jokes aside send pics of this cave I wanna see.

[spare prism]

oh no you dont get any of that you have to run though it

[native tapir]

Also did we overthrow Jason yet

[spare prism]

[native tapir]

Excellent I was going to suggest you for that role

Thank you Jason Rider

[tranquil bolt]

Ah ya know like i got knee problems cant do that

[spare prism]

Toobad

[tranquil bolt]

Can i more or less stumble thru like a drunk guy

[spare prism]

lol

[ornate saffron]

we got some cool cave factories shown yesterday

#design-and-architecture message

[tranquil bolt]

Question about smaller sub factories. How far do you go, as in like at what point do you stop producing parts and move material to another factory to manufacture there?

Or do you have a smaller sub factory for every item?

[tall lantern]

very subjective

some folks are very keen on the Independency build style, where each production goes all the way from raw resources to final product without siphoning from any exising production lines

[fluid sapphire]

which can be a total pain the ass for late-game products

[tall lantern]

and others just hook in existing lines to new stuff

[tranquil bolt]

I had built a mega factory but now im in phase 5 and its not sufficiant. So im building sub factories. My idea was to have one for copper one for iron ect. But this doesnt seem correct either

[tall lantern]

as with most stuff in this game there's no "correct" or "best" way to do things

[tall lantern]

or can be much easier

[fluid sapphire]

the middle ground to build modules that feed other modules, but plan in advance

[tall lantern]

I'm personally a big fan of the whole independency thing
