satisfactory

[feral vector]

trains are great

trucks are solid earlier on too IMO

[molten chasm]

i just unlocked them, but i havent used any

[dense violet]

hyper tubes, even w/o multiple entrances, really don't take long

[wise junco]

drones do NOT need buffering, correct? they do a steady transport?

[white dawn]

Correct, though I always buffer my drone ports anyway 'cause I like my station cargo areas to remain "clean" as an indication that things are working as they should

[wise junco]

thank you! honestly, that's a good take

[amber crater]

i can only autoconnect them a very very short distance

[fluid sapphire]

you lock it by clicking, then you can move it further away

[amber crater]

ohh

okay thanks lol..

[brittle dune]

yeah, that I/O "lockout" is a train specific thing

[wise junco]

thank jeepers

[brittle dune]

drones doing both loading and unloading at the same time is pretty cool

though it might be hard to find applications for it other than packaged stuff idk

I'll see

[distant pilot]

Have they ever said why that happens and/or if they plan on addressing it?

[brittle dune]

they have talked about it, I couldn't say the exact reason off the top of my head (also it's like 3:00 soon and I should probably sleep)

it's not changing though

[distant pilot]

Damn

[supple canopy]

drone picks up uranium fuels rods, goes to outsourced nuclear power plant, brings back the waste for further processing is what I'm planning. So a drone will load fuel and drop waste*

[brittle dune]

that's a lotta waste

the conversion is like 1:50

though I guess it does stack to 500

[supple canopy]

yea it's nothing to be "adressed", it's a logistic puzzle to deal with

[fluid sapphire]

It's not really an issue though, you can keep the items moving by attaching containers to freight platforms

[supple canopy]

yea it's honestly should be fine, I can always add another drone on the other end if need be

[brittle dune]

so in terms of stacks it's more like 1:5 (uranium fuel rod stacks to uranium waste stacks)

[distant pilot]

It bugs me because then it feels like the two belt ports it has aren’t as useful as they seem if you need the second one to just cancel out the slack

And train platforms aren’t exactly small like truck or drone ports

[fluid sapphire]

They are useful though, just because you can't get the full 2x belt throughput doesn't make them useless

The map is huge, everything is huge, plan your space accordingly

[brittle dune]

well as long as the 2 belts aren't run at full throughput it should be able to make up for the lost time while the train is away

[supple canopy]

you really need buffers only if the throughput you're taking is close to two of a mkX max throughput. Otherwise you can skip it

[brittle dune]

also that's a pretty cool idea, I like it

[supple canopy]

I have a freight car taking 165 compacted coal/min on an mk4, no need for buffers, belt length and machine's output storage is buffer enough in that case

[fluid sapphire]

If you hook up your machines straight to a platform, they will starve while the platform is being loaded though?

[distant pilot]

Hm

[fluid sapphire]

It depends though, no? You need enough supply to last the round trip time

[supple canopy]

normally if you planned everything right, the train will unload just as you start starving on items with no idle time

[distant pilot]

I guess thinking about it, if you’re trying to run two MK5 or MK6 belts into a single cargo wagon then the limiting factor would be how fast you can physically get trains into the station before it loads with more items than a freight car can hold

[fluid sapphire]

There are more ways than one to "plan things right"

[supple canopy]

I mean to plan a train route throughput in mind right

[fluid sapphire]

A lot of those depend on containers

[distant pilot]

Which would be 80 seconds with MK6 and 100-stack items and… some time more than that with MK5

[supple canopy]

yes which is why for high throughput you should divide into more freight cars or add more trains

adding more trains also means more freight stations idle time, so less max throughput

[fluid sapphire]

Operating on thin margins like that is arguably more fragile than just using containers

[supple canopy]

yes buffers is always a simple and safe option

[fluid sapphire]

Safest bet is to just overshoot the number of cars to such a degree that no amount of future traffic could ever affect throughput

Well that and containers

[brittle dune]

I like timing my trains' round trip times and making sure there's enough of a time difference between the time to fill and the RtT

so throughput isn't lost

[fluid sapphire]

I do too, often they end up with numbers like 5 minutes for a round trip needed, 14 minutes available complete it

[brittle dune]

damn, 9 minutes of delay flexibility

[fluid sapphire]

8 cars to carry 600 ore a minute xd

Future me will thank present me

[brittle dune]

I personally usually aim for a couple minutes minimum

[fluid sapphire]

I have plans for a lot more trains

[brittle dune]

I doubt they'd spend that much extra time with future traffic

[fluid sapphire]

Perhaps not, but it's easy to set them up with lots of extra, the only cost being space, which isn't in short supply

[feral vector]

there's no way to limit belt output right? if I just put a bunch of splitters on an incoming belt of iron ore, the production chains at the end won't get enough materials cause it will work like a manifold?

seems like a manifold feeding a manifold will be janky, or will it work out eventually as long as I have enough input? I worked out that I need 1196 iron / min and I have 1200 coming in on three belts but I didn't really figure out how to split it up properly lol

[wise junco]

if the need of the machines equals or is less than the input of ore, everything will get fed eventually

splitting that up may require some clever usage of smart splitters

[feral vector]

uhhh if it will get fed eventually why the smart splitters?

[wise junco]

depends on how you split it up, but if you have manifolds in sequence, resources can get eaten up unequally and it'll cause stutter upstream and downstream

[feral vector]

it won't balance itself out eventually?

[dense violet]

manifolds only care about 2 things

1. enough parts per min for the system
2. a fast enough belt

if it doesn't self balance after a while you are lackign one or both of these thigns

[feral vector]

I can just input more iron it's not like I'm gonna run out, I have one miner that isn't overclocked

[wise junco]

just be careful where you're injecting the ore

[feral vector]

it doesn't go screwy if I have a manifold into a series of manifolds?

[dense violet]

I mean you can make enough of an absolute mess of any system and it won't work

[feral vector]

how do you guys usually manage this stuff, make sets of constructors/smelters that just take in a whole belt?

[dense violet]

but if you're just talking more branches? no it's fine

[feral vector]

it's just like, 3 incoming lines of iron, I use a splitter to split them off into each production line

and those production lines usually start with a smelter manifold or something

[steel flare]

i thought turbo fuel made more than 625pm with overclocks?

[dense violet]

that's just a regular manifold

[dense violet]

depends on recipes and what you start off with

[steel flare]

i built 16 refineries for turbo fuel power and its only generating 625? 💀

[steel flare]

im using "turbo heavy fuel"

[dense violet]

well base turbo heavy recipe outputs 30pm

30x 16

[steel flare]

i didnt mean pm i meant power sorry

625mw

[dense violet]

1 fuel gen outputs 250 at 100%

[feral vector]

#screenshots message

I'm trying to figure out how to split the iron for all this stuff lol maybe I should just use more incoming nodes so they each handle one part of the factory?

[dense violet]

well you need almost 1200pm, do you have mk6 belts and a pure node?

[feral vector]

it's coming off 3 different lines, 480 480 and 240, but I can overclodk the 3rd to 480 easy enough

[steel flare]

yeah ik im overclocking them to 625 i apparently made way too many refineries and now im trying to figure out space for the fuel generators 💀

[feral vector]

I think I'll need to bring in some extra iron cause splitting it up exactly would be real janky now that I think about it

[dense violet]

did you not math the whole thing in one go?

[dense violet]

you don't need to split it up exactly, just manifold it

[steel flare]

well im a new player and i didnt know how much turbo fuel was needed pm it didnt say, so now i have this. #screenshots

the ones in the back are not turbofuel those are plastic and rubber but 💀

[dense violet]

here, an excellent planner https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=9KIZ2nmgtH5u5loU21Iu and plan for turbo, edit as needed to confirm thigns

[wise junco]

to be clear, Cobalt is exactly correct. if you get into crazy ratios, it can be difficult to split things up evenly among the manifold if your belt speed isn't quite up to par. that's why i mentioned about smart splitters, etc

(which is what i'm used to lately with pure recipes so that's why i commented that)

[dense violet]

just clocking your machien groups fixes things too

[feral vector]

I'm not wrapping my head around this very well lol hmm

[wise junco]

you're not wrong. i've made some sins with my clocking and i paid for them as i debugged them

[white maple]

can i use mk1 pumps on mk2 pipelines?

[dense violet]

link your full plan

[feral vector]

you want the visualization?

[steel flare]

thanks for sharing, i dont know what i plan on doing now with all the machines. i made about 380 turbo fuel pm cause i thought it was gonna take more than 19pm for each generator

[dense violet]

it looks like you used SFTOOLS, you can share a direct link

[feral vector]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=39SaLlm6SzCs0zhCbYAr

to be clear, I'm not building it all interconnected like this, I'm making it more modular. I just wanted to know how much inputs I'd need to automate all the stuff I need to so I have a tab with everything

[dense violet]

ok your main issue here thats makign it hard to plan, is that you ahve this all in one plan

[feral vector]

oh wtf it shows all the tabs lol

[dense violet]

no? it just shows the one tab

[feral vector]

oh maybe just for me cause it's cached my stuff

[dense violet]

you just have 8 final outputs

[feral vector]

I have them split up into individual tabs

I just used that one to figure out how much iron and rubber and plastic and stuff I'd need

iron is so common I should just bring in extra for each part of the factory maybe?

[dense violet]

ok first step is to break up this plan in groups that you'rea actually going to build together

[dense violet]

I really don't know why you're so focused on bringing in more iron than you need

[feral vector]

I did that, then I was gonna split the iron off the 3 incoming belts but I'm not sure how to do that properly

[feral vector]

me either lol

if I had a 1200 iron belt I'd just use splitters the whole way down but I gotta split it and then merge to use the leftovers on a belt or something? or maybe that's what med was saying about using smart splitters?

[wise junco]

if you had a mk6 belt with 1200 iron ore flowing down, you could just split as normal

your numbers are pretty even, so just be cognizant of your clock speeds and where your ore is going and youll be good

[weak tinsel]

Must spread the word of wumbus

[wise junco]

getting ready to start up 4 overclocked particle accelerators.... it'll be fiiiine

[forest tangle]

Can someone take a look at this?

#screenshots message

Any isea why power wont turn on?

[wise junco]

try taking it off the grid, letting it boot up, then connect it

#screenshots message this wasn't as bad as i thought it would be at 200%

[forest tangle]

I did that... It's a mark 2 miner on a burner... thats the whole circuit. If I boot up the burner, and then connect the miner, the fuse blows... EVEN if i have the miner turned off

[swift turret]

try multiple burners

[forest tangle]

Have 2 burners now for a total capacity of 90mW.....

[wise junco]

separate the burners from the miner, throw the fuse on each the miner and the burners, then connect?

[forest tangle]

can get the burners going with no load on the system, but if I connect ANYTHING... even something that is turned off, the breaker trips

[wise junco]

is the other grid blown? i've seen biomass burners kinda goof up if the other grid is blown

oh

@forest tangle are you wearing the hoverpack?

if so try unequipping it - it consumes 100 MW

[cold berry]

The part that I am most looking forward to in my new computer, chip and SAM factory is probably just turning it on in the beginning honestly, because I am going to drain all of my test stuff and set all the trains feeding stuff into it, the miner and the power on all at once to the whole place, and I think that'll be very cool.

Seeing it creak to life will be cool

I'm going to have to make an oil rig to power this thing tho, and I wanted my next oil rig to be pretty like this, so. That's next I guess lol

[rancid gull]

400-some odd hours in the game, and i still end up building factories right next to ore nodes forgetting i need to smelt the ore first...

[wise junco]

naaaaaah, that's optional

[forest tangle]

That was it

thanks

[wise junco]

no problem. i peeked at your screenshot once i thought it might be a possibility

[whole robin]

is there a special animation that sometimes plays when firing the rebar gun? i was firing explosives at my friend when an animation i've never seen before played and i didn't see anything on the wiki about it

[rancid gull]

iirc, there's a few special reloads, yeah

Rarely when reloading the Rebar Gun, the pioneer will sometimes drop it (it will rapidly fly back afterwards). https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Easter_eggs#Emotes_and_Animations

you have to be more specific

[snow rune]

HOW DO YOU OPTIMIZE

HOW DO YOU MAKE IT GO FAST?

[whole robin]

math

[dense violet]

make more stuff?

[whole robin]

power shards i guess?

[snow rune]

HOW DO YOU MAKE IT PRODUCE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF THINGS THEY CAN PRODUCE AS THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME IT CAN TAKE

[dense violet]

is this a speed run to get blocked?

[snow rune]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO ANSWERS MY QUESTION

[dense violet]

power shards don't do this

it just saves you space

[whole robin]

i mean they make machines run faster

[dense violet]

just build 2 machines

[snow rune]

They speed the production rate, don't they?

[dense violet]

you can just build more machines

[whole robin]

it also depends on what you're trying to make

[snow rune]

But! I would be missing out on speed as every machine can be fully upgraded with power shards

[snow rune]

iron plates

[dense violet]

just build more machiens, usually faster than making slugs

[dense violet]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=ySpSWYS1vczJvZPa9DkL

[snow rune]

slugs and plates

[dense violet]

at this point it just seems like you're trolling cause you're bored, gl with it

[whole robin]

you're still in onboarding, right?

[glacial depot]

Just started the game, when we build factories is it normal to have an ugly line of conveyors running from nodes to factories

[dense violet]

tiers 1-9 are basically a tutorial, you'll learn

[glacial depot]

tysm

[snow rune]

no

[snow rune]

I have Mark 6

almost everything unlocked

[dense violet]

asume everything you build the first time will be terrible, but if you figure out like 5 things you could have done better that means you're learning

[snow rune]

actually I think I have everything unlocked

[pure wharf]

is there any other space elevator stuff after phase 4?

[snow rune]

trying to see how fast can I make something

[tranquil bolt]

Yes.

[pure wharf]

oh man

[glacial depot]

Thanks! Its just odd seeing other peoples factories and seeing no conveyor belts from resource nodes going to the factory

[tranquil bolt]

Im in phase 5. I kinda screwed my self over lol

[dense violet]

sometimes the nodes are IN teh factories, or use trains/trucks 🙂

[pure wharf]

i just finished teir 7

[hollow turret]

oh no how

[whole robin]

best suggestion i would have is to use plastic, if you are trying to make plates and only plates

[hollow turret]

i jsut finished phase 5

[dense violet]

you'll be fine, nothing can't be taken back in this game

[tranquil bolt]

Didnt upscale anything big enough. I built a mega factory instead of multiple feeder factories

[glacial depot]

Didnt even think about this at all. Tysm!

[tranquil bolt]

Im running out of literally everything

[dense violet]

go make some more then 🙂 you'll be fine!

[dense violet]

imo the real point of the game comes after phase 5, making your own projects however you like it

more like minecraft

[hollow turret]

oof

[tranquil bolt]

Yuh. Really did my self dirty on that one🤣

[hollow turret]

i broke my game

nvm

[native tapir]

April Foolsed again. I think it's time to rise up

we should be fighting back

[glacial depot]

I see, thanks. I just got satisfactory and its definitely a lot, quite a bit of analysis paralysis. I think it might be because im an actual engineer irl, I just see a lot of ways to optimize stuff

[hollow turret]

nah game crashed and somhow didnt clsoe when i did clsoe and restart so i had two instances of the game running

bruh so my game might be bugged i cant see to open photos folder

[dense violet]

so things to keep in mind

there's basically nothing you can do that you can't take back
you have access to all the recipes and are never locked out

there's no single meta in this game
depends on TONS of things including personal preferences

it's also basically impossible to use all the resources on the map

[dense violet]

in terms of optimizations as an example, there are paths to end tier items that will use TONS of X resource type
Or, if you use different recipes, use almost zero of X resource type

so huuuuuge on personal choices and locations you pick

[hollow turret]

#screenshots message like this is the factory i made for phase 5

its so messy 😭

[orchid pollen]

It’s not messy.

https://tenor.com/view/theboys-perfect-gif-23821319

[hollow turret]

u sure

[orchid pollen]

It’s perfect. Every bit of it. Right down to the smallest details.

You want messy, look at Josh,

[hollow turret]

true

[glacial depot]

It would be interesting if the developers added a way to terraform in the game so we can have conveyor belts running underground kinda similar to how we run primary and secondary electric distribution lines underground irl

[hollow turret]

anyways tiem to fianlly make a uranuim powerplant some how

[orchid pollen]

You got fuel rod production?

[hollow turret]

not really thats what ima do soon tho

[whole robin]

with lifts you can kind of do that, but only straight up and down

[orchid pollen]

Ahh. I recommend making that first before you start making too many power plants.

And also have a way to recycle the waste immediately, or a large storage buffer for the waste.

[hollow turret]

ye

[dense violet]

you can clip into the groudn with a few methods, search images from @zenith pecan

[dense violet]

but terraforming is hard even if you start the game framework with it in mind, not going to happen as an addition now

Subnautica tried including it right from the start and it just caused too many problems

[orchid pollen]

Terraforming also kind of goes against how the Devs made Massage-2(A-B)B.

[glacial depot]

Ill have to look into this, thanks for sharing that with me

[dense violet]

I probably wouldn't stress about it too much while going over the tutorial 🙂 (tiers 1-9)

[white maple]

https://i.imgur.com/NhHBksc.png This is the alt recipe I want for turbo fuel, correct?

[dense violet]

it's A choice

theres many , depends what you're trying to do

[dense violet]

people very often do this https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=ZhiDY9hol0N5bOXeHVFx

[white maple]

ahhhh

ty bro, appreciate it

[dense violet]

no prob, there's no right answer to any path, but turbo heavy uses a lot more oil per turbo fuel

it's convenient for ammo factories though, where you need HOR and not much turbo for dif bullets

[hollow turret]

i just got a random objective for 50 smart plating?

[dense violet]

that's not random, that's the space elevator

april fools mini update i think

[full trail]

ok

[reef basin]

Whatever you want really. Game is a sandbox

[reef basin]

read like 3 messages above your question 🙂

[dense violet]

build more? plan the next factory?

[reef basin]

things 🙂 if you really want the experience spoiled, go read wiki 😛 but you don't really need any info beforehand to play this game 🙂

[stuck canopy]

huh so you still keep crafting when alt tabed? good to know now a question is what im gona do with 1600 circuits

[reef basin]

why not automate?

handcrafting is kinda... against spirit of the game, not to mention it's waste of time

[stuck canopy]

i did it for milestones while watching a movie

and yea forgot about it and now im surprized that it kept crafting

[reef basin]

you want the things automated anyway, so if you instead automated, you won't have same problem next time when you need the item

I mean obviously you can play the game as you want, just saying that handcrafting is generally not very optimal and you're just delaying the problem and wasting more time on it

[keen walrus]

i am so confused rn. why those big bouncy things are small and my hogs have turned to walkers?

[dense violet]

what's the date?

[keen walrus]

oh... OHHH.. it took me a while 😄

[reef basin]

we should really get a bot to reply "check your calendar" every 10 minutes or so

[normal orbit]

theres three posts about same thing in three diffrent channels in the span of a minute :p

[stuck canopy]

i will automate everything when i unlock everything

[reef basin]

I haven't looked at QA site, but assuming it's same as previous years, it'll be absolutely flooded with bug reports

[reef basin]

that's kinda... backwards 😄

[stuck canopy]

as everything up to current tier

like i did before

[reef basin]

why not automate as soon as you can? 😛 then you never need to handcraft it

[stuck canopy]

for a 100 items? meh

also my temp plastic production and the rest of the factory is nearly 2km apart so like faster

[reef basin]

most items are needed over time in way bigger quantities

and worst case you'll get some sink points

[stuck canopy]

yes and now i needed only 100 computers for last milestone

i had enough from crash sites

[reef basin]

computers you definitely want automated

[steel flare]

@reef basin hey why do you have the "lead pioneers" role? does that just mean you're active in the server?

[stuck canopy]

i will but everything at once

[reef basin]

🤷 your choice, but the earlier you do it, the less you need to handcraft

[dense violet]

that's way more work
if you automate sectiosn it'll build parts you can build the rest of it with

like... so much more work

[steel flare]

https://tenor.com/view/airball-nba-brick-gif-15266795546092124798

[stuck canopy]

to expand is more work than to build final size

i dont do f manifolds because its fck boring

[reef basin]

you never need to expand tho

[stuck canopy]

how so

[reef basin]

you just automate your 10-15/min computers into storage. Most likely will last you until end of the game. If you find yourself running out often, you just build another factory for it

[dense violet]

build new factories if you want ot build more, if you try to hand craft everything and build it all at once it will take literally 100x as long

[stuck canopy]

10 to 15 ... one manufacturer is enough if it runs

[reef basin]

indeed

[hushed inlet]

Things about I found in the April fools update:
1.hogs retextured
2.GIANT LIZARDDOGGO (BIGGER THEN THE BEANS)

[stuck canopy]

idk never had to handcraft for actual building

[dense violet]

basically al lthe parts are used in building thigns, so you have to have them automated by that sentence

[stuck canopy]

not in tier 6 it seems

[reef basin]

in any tier

anything that's useful for building should be automated

[stuck canopy]

not yet

[hushed inlet]

How do I get the thing for the hazmat suit I already got the aluminum

[stuck canopy]

i will automate it, but one big factory for all new tier 5 and 6 stuff i unlocked

[hushed inlet]

Is it wreck loot is it mam stuff

[reef basin]

that's just more work than doing it one by one

especially since often some of the items are useful for building things in that tier

[stuck canopy]

not computers as i dont see it used anywhere in PRODUCTION

[reef basin]

train signals, blenders, ...

and I'm not talking about production, I'm talking about automating it for milestones and buildings

[stuck canopy]

dont got a single train as i just unlocked it last night

[reef basin]

production will make its own computers

[stuck canopy]

i dont even have plastic production

that temp 6 refineries on ground is not a setup in my books

[reef basin]

that sounds like a pain

[stuck canopy]

i wont half ass a setup

[reef basin]

if it makes things, it's good 🤷

[stuck canopy]

im trying not to waste time with temporary setups

[reef basin]

so you're instead wasting more time with handcrafting

and it's not temporary

[dense violet]

used in both parts after and build items https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Computer

[stuck canopy]

i wasted more time here and crafting those computers tbh

[reef basin]

how much rubber do you need? probably not more than like 30/min, that's one refinery going to storage->depot. Can run for most of the game just fine

[stuck canopy]

i dont have a clue how much i need because i got a full industrial of it

but that gets trashed as soon as i finish this f milestone and go work on a not f temporary build that will automate every f new item i havent automated yet

[reef basin]

most items aren't needed in more than 10-15/min
maybe except things like belt materials

[stuck canopy]

10-15 is triple the amount i make of some

[normal orbit]

that entierly depends on how you play and build

[reef basin]

which is fine. 5/min is probably enough if you build slower

and you can always just make small amount of production and build more later if you keep running out

but I don't see a reason to delay automation of things

[stuck canopy]

i dont a see a reason to build it in parts

[reef basin]

wdym "in parts"? you build the whole thing

[stuck canopy]

maybe this explains why it takes longer to expand

[reef basin]

again - no need to expand. Build new, don't touch old

[hushed inlet]

Guys how do I get the hazmat suit I already got aluminum

[stuck canopy]

so ... a separate setup for computers, separate for circuits?

[reef basin]

yeah

[stuck canopy]

f no

[reef basin]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Tutorial:Independency

[normal orbit]

you unlock the milestone and then make it

[hushed inlet]

Ok

I’ll check later

[stuck canopy]

i got a single factory thats making everything up to tier 4, not 12 separate ones

its one producer per item and its fine because im running around collecting hard drives and stuff

[reef basin]

it's the same amount of buildings, just built as needed instead of waiting to build at once (which means you have the resources immediately and don't need to handcraft)

[stuck canopy]

i didnt handcraft to build ffs

[reef basin]

then how did you go without automated plastic? 🤔

[stuck canopy]

you cant handcraft rubber lol

[stuck canopy]

its a shit setup

[reef basin]

well you said you don't have plastic production

so I assumed you bought it or smth

[reef basin]

does it work? great, keep it and leave it working 🙂

[hushed inlet]

What are YOUR thoughts on BIG APRIL FOOLS LIZARDDOGGO

[stuck canopy]

okey have you built a dirt hut in minecraft? thats what it is, i wont call it a house

neither is this a rubber and plastic setup

its not balanced, its not alligned its not even on foundaitions

its not a setup

[reef basin]

neither of those affects the fact that it can (and will) make you rubber

[stuck canopy]

it wont stay there a second longer than it needs to

how do you think i handcrafted 1600 circuits? because that plastic and rubber "setup" is connected to depot

i dont even think i have enough invetory spae for all that plastic

and it was by accident

[steel flare]

you hand crafted 1600 circuits?

[stuck canopy]

a joke you all f missed

[stuck canopy]

its even on april fools and didnt catch it

[plucky bone]

Is diluted fuel and diluted packaged fuel the same recipe? I see people mention both names.

[reef basin]

no, they are two different recipes

[plucky bone]

Shoot.

Ok. I got diluted fuel.

[reef basin]

but both are practically equal in what they are doing

[plucky bone]

Ok. process difference then?

[reef basin]

packaged version is very slightly more compelx, but available earlier

but otherwise it's same input for same output

[plucky bone]

Ok. Thank you. Looking at making a turbo fuel facility. Just unlocked it. Will mess with the diluted one after unless I can use it. I will see in a bit. Leaves me to figure this out. Thanks.

[stuck canopy]

different ratio i believe no?

[reef basin]

no, same conversion of HOR to fuel

[normal orbit]

both are 1:2. the only diffrence is packaged is available in tier 5, while diluted is in tier 7. so add some complexity for earlier availability

[west jackal]

is there a way to have the throughput monitor integrate over time for an average instead of instantaneous throughput?

[void cliff]

i love launching enemies off cliffs with the boombox

[west jackal]

also i am pretty sure the packaged loop is cheaper on power 🤷‍♂️

[reef basin]

it's not

[reef basin]

not really. Best throughput monitor is looking at your machines anyway

[normal orbit]

its doing an overtime average of one minute

[lone bough]

Are these small/ large animals apart of some kind of weird bug or is there some kind of easter egg going on

WAIT... HOLY NO WAY, I AM SLOW

It is ||April 1st.... 🤦‍♂️ ||

[plucky bone]

Is there a way to grab just one item or some combination of items less than a stack from your depot in inventory? Sometimes I need only one item or a few and don't need a whole stack.

[placid totem]

holy massive doggos.

you know how easy its gonna be to make my doggo prison now?

[sterile blade]

Did you consider how easily they'll be able to escape after 24h, though? 😅

[placid totem]

nah nah nah

[meager jacinth]

do conveyer lifts work on storage units

[leaden turret]

yes

[reef basin]

wdym by that

[meager jacinth]

im trynna move items from one storage container to another using converyer lifts

[reef basin]

yeah that's possible

[meager jacinth]

does there need to be a converyer belt between then continaer and lift

cuz its not working for me

[stuck canopy]

that rubber thing needs to extend for it to connect without a belt

[plucky bone]

No, I have my storage stacked and use lifts between them. wrong way maybe? You need one container opposite the other to transfer between em. The red and green arrows.

[meager jacinth]

oh nvm i got it

one side is shorter then the other so one needs belt while the other one doesnt i think

[plucky bone]

You shouldn't need any belts. They should just connect.

[stuck canopy]

thats what i ment by rubber thingi

[cursive crane]

Just setup a sink in your main base with an empty storage attached and you can get rid of excess inventory that way
That or just plug it right back in

[plucky bone]

I do that. I was asking if one can be grabbed or only stacks.

[cursive crane]

If you rotate the part thats attaching, it sometimes fixes it not attaching. Its not perfect

[meager jacinth]

hmm seems like its a one click build bug

[meager jacinth]

that fixed it ty

[fluid sapphire]

Only 2 ways to get less than a stack from a dimensional depot:

1. there is less than a stack in there in the first place

2. drag and drop a stack onto an existing non-full stack in your inventory

[plucky bone]

Ok, Thank you. Guess I get to sink stuff whenever I get to a sink. Seems dumb when I only need a few items to grab a stack. Mind you all my items get replenished but that isn't the point.

[fluid sapphire]

If you're constantly producing something why not just throw it away :p

[plucky bone]

I do that, the better things I like to sink.

[fluid sapphire]

Curious why you need to pull items manually anyway

[plucky bone]

Very rarely. Usually for research or fuel for a new drone station till it gets to my base and is then fueled up there.

[fluid sapphire]

Yeah, checks out, similar situation for me, the only time I need to pull manually is for power shards, fuel for the jetpack or fuel for drones, nobelisks, ammo, I think that's it, usually I just toss stuff whenever there are extras left over

[plucky bone]

Yes. And Nobelisks too. Go through them a ton. Made a factory for em as soon as I could

[fluid sapphire]

Still living off a supply I made 800 hours ago myself hehhh ehh

[plucky bone]

Wow

[fluid sapphire]

Just been too busy to make another factory for them

[plucky bone]

I'm supposed to be making a turbo fuel plant but somehow am redoing my last few storage boxes. What a mess.

[fluid sapphire]

Game is very good at providing side quests fr

[plucky bone]

Yup

[dense violet]

you can just use it for building stuff? and you get like 81 inventory slots

[timid rune]

and ficsonium rods production chain done \o/

gotta plop down 25(+0.2) nuclear power plants and I am done lol

Never mind, I just realized it was April Fool 's.

I reinstalled everything for nothing lol

[royal gazelle]

Is there a way to avoid the full concentrated power of the sun on this fine day, or do I just have to wait it out? Hard to build when I can't frikken see.

[fluid sapphire]

whats the "issue"

[quartz idol]

The fact that the lizards were huge

[fluid sapphire]

guess we have to wait for ficsit shades

[timid rune]

does love the idea of even a ton of manufacturers barely does a dent to the power supply compared to PAs or QEs lol

[frail plinth]

#screenshots message @fluid sapphire

How long do you build for this??

[fluid sapphire]

it took a few days i think, dont remember exactly

lots of wire as you can imagine

[timid rune]

that reminds me I probably should do something similar hah

[fluid sapphire]

lasted me i think 250-300 hours until i finally built my new power plant

[timid rune]

argurably I don't need a battery with ~1.1TW of power

[fluid sapphire]

probably not, fun to have one anyway

i dont imagine i will be needing it anymore either

[timid rune]

yeah that's my thoughts

[lilac monolith]

Thats such a hilarious build, well done

[timid rune]

I have like 0 uses of 15 supercomputers/min atm

[fluid sapphire]

haha thanks lol

[timid rune]

so might do something with that once I am done with my warped drive build

[fluid sapphire]

@frail plinth thats what i call a good start

[frail plinth]

its a blueprint that i make for this

[fluid sapphire]

i made mine with 25 cells only, because i didnt want to carry arround inventory full of wire :p

[junior laurel]

Sanctum 2 walker,
From their previous game.

[paper current]

I sure do love afking while crafting stuff

[fluid sapphire]

there's a better way, we call it productionmaxing, its where you build a factory, it does the crafting for you and you work on other stuff

[paper current]

I'm crafting the stuff to craft the factory

[edgy python]

@terse nacelle regarding your pic in screenshots I’m pretty sure that’s cause of April fools I’ve seen the same things in my world

Just wondering realistically will I need 12000 caterium wire /min I’m planning my next factory and I’m not sure how many copper ingots I should put into caterium wire I do plan to use it for computers and circuit boards 100% tho

[reef basin]

build factory that crafts the stuff for next factory 😛

[paper current]

I'm only early game

[reef basin]

that suggestion doesn't change with game state

[reef basin]

practically - don't make things you don't need yet. Wait until you know how much you need and build only that much

[paper current]

Why is this game so laggy

[reef basin]

if you're early game, that probably means you either don't meet HW requirements to play the game or that your settings are set way too high for your HW

[static quartz]

april fools update?

[icy vigil]

uhm my lizarddoggo is as big as my cole power plant

[paper current]

I have the settings on minimum

[icy vigil]

i cant send a png in the chat

[reef basin]

check your 📆

[icy vigil]

mhhh

[reef basin]

do you meet the minimal requirements for the game?

[icy vigil]

no

[paper current]

What are the minimum requirements

[icy vigil]

ionly have 300 hours in it

[reef basin]

they are listed on stema/epic

[paper current]

Steam is running very slowly because of this game

Ah I perfectly match the mininum

[scenic mirage]

my biggest flex is that my birthday is the calendar emoji date 😎

[reef basin]

yeah, then don't expect much performance from the game

[tawdry charm]

Hi, i was just wondering on what yall working right now?

[reef basin]

Tools

[tawdry charm]

What tools?

[dense violet]

satisfactorytools.com

[fluid sapphire]

export and overflow system for my high-speed connector factory #screenshots message

Does anybody know why is the lizzard doggo so gigantic?

[reef basin]

your calendar does

[tawdry charm]

Is there any other jokes???

[drowsy escarp]

I was wonder why theres a giant doggo and all these random enemies on my game, thought i did something wrong but that was a good one for April fools

[brittle dune]

This is going to be happening all day isn't it

[reef basin]

unless you disable seasonal events

[tawdry charm]

Me too, also the space girrafe tick penguin thing is the doggos size :)

[drowsy escarp]

The beans are small which is funny

[brittle dune]

bean

[tawdry charm]

Also they run SO FAST now XD

[brittle dune]

They already did tho

If they get hit they have an insane stride

Fast as fuck

[drowsy escarp]

i been nuking beans they keep getting the way of my builds and wont move so i nuke them

[hasty mango]

did we got an april fools upd?

[spark wedge]

What are the hogs lmao xD

[tawdry charm]

Now that they are small they look even FASTER

[brittle dune]

Ever heard of sanctum

Or wait

[spark wedge]

If i am trust with you, nao

[brittle dune]

Are they reused sanctum assets?

Or am I making things up

They might just be a scrapped enemy?

[drowsy escarp]

Theyre buggy as hell theyre like moonwalking

[tawdry charm]

I want these features forever

[spark wedge]

Yeah

[dense violet]

keep yoru computer clock set to april 1st

[spark wedge]

Hogs are beautiful no jokes

[reef basin]

that would also make Tools be in April mode, so double win

[heavy comet]

guys where would i find saves

[reef basin]

#faq

[tawdry charm]

Wait u made satisfactorytools.com???

[heavy comet]

i mean other players saves

[reef basin]

probably on other players' computers

[reef basin]

yes

[heavy comet]

dude no i do not wanna play the early game where would i find a mid game save

[tawdry charm]

My god man you are a hero 🫡

[spark wedge]

What the hell with the space giraffe lmao

[reef basin]

start a creative mode save and unlock what you want

[spark wedge]

XD

[edgy python]

Yeah thanks I’m js gonna make enough to have 30computer/min

[reef basin]

that's probably also a bit overkill, but it's your save 🤷

[tawdry charm]

For me early game is the BEST part, i love it. Simple little factories, dont have to travel around the whole world, you dont need a gigantic power plant. I lov early game. But no juding, play how you want, its still a sandbox game, everyones oppinion is diffrent

[heavy comet]

i kinda lost my 100 hour save bc cloud didnt want to sync

[edgy python]

I like producing things in mass , I’m not playing to progress as quick as I can

I’m playing to build mega factories

[spark wedge]

I have just complete the platinum of the game

[tawdry charm]

Damn, sad for you

[spark wedge]

Lets gooo

[reef basin]

sure, but how fast do you plan to use computers? they are not used much apart from blenders and train signals

[heavy comet]

but now i run voodo sorcery that uploads all of my save files into drive and deletes the oldest 1 if there are 3

[tawdry charm]

Am i the only one stuck at a 110h save with just a motor factory in building (Not even oil set up yet)

[edgy python]

For supercomputers and I js find it cool to make that much

[reef basin]

well supercomputers would make their own computers (that's the entire point of my "make what you need now" message)

[edgy python]

Yeah I see what you mean il lower my target down to 10/min and js sommersloop if I have to

[heavy comet]

i lowkey love multidimensional factory

[edgy python]

But as I said I like making a lot of things I posted a 30/min hmf factory in screenshots

[tawdry charm]

I literaly plan ALL of my factories on your site

[reef basin]

it's just a recommendation 🙂 but I personally like that way of playing a lot

[heavy comet]

i lowkey just rawdog it and just slap power shards in

[fiery pewter]

I use the modeler mainly because there's a "virus scanner/blocker" lurking in my browser and I have yet to find it

[tawdry charm]

I have a thing that i just CANT place machenes randomly and hope, they have to be PERFECTLY balanced (Only exception is manifolds), All on foundations, in PERFECT alignment, with PERFECT belts.

[heavy comet]

same but idc abt ratios

[timber willow]

Good luck getting perfect balancing I mean can be done but gonna take some effort

[tawdry charm]

I mean that the machienes have to be underclocked exactly, for belt balancing i just throw manifolds on, i have a whole factory that is a big one manifold

[timber willow]

Yeah figured you did what I meant is to get 💯 perfect levels gonna take time and effort since a lot of factors can make numbers that should be perfect not be

[fluid sapphire]

its not that hard a concept really

you can use a planner to help and clock accordingly, pretty simple to build like that

[timber willow]

For example, I have 1200 throughput from a train going into blenders for fuel generators math wise should be enough for 5.8 blenders or something when I look it barely does 4 since the 5th barely gets any where as the others are always full

[fluid sapphire]

thats an entirely solvable problem

[timber willow]

I know it is point was factors can lead to small issues that take time to fix

[fluid sapphire]

just build perfectly the first time around

[rough shore]

just clock it right fr

[brittle dune]

My current factory I'm building will make 20 supercomputers and 20 radio control units (these need 100 computers btw) and it makes (and subsequently consumes) 38000 quickwire

[fluid sapphire]

that in particular sounds like a piping issue or lack of buffering for train stations

[tawdry charm]

Never built a factory wrong, since i look at the planner every 2 seconds :)

[timber willow]

Not getting the point so whatever lets move on

[timber willow]

Yeah my example I did to

[fluid sapphire]

of course it takes more planning and work to build factories that work at 100% all the time, thats a given

[brittle dune]

Satisfactory Modeler my beloved

[fluid sapphire]

slapping stuff down and hoping for the best is easy

[timber willow]

Hence why I said good luck

[tawdry charm]

satisfactorycalculator.com makes my life easier than satisfactory modeler (Im mentioning this so much that it might start to look like an ad XD)

[fluid sapphire]

that makes it sound like its unreasonably difficult or something, which its not 😃

[brittle dune]

Exact same message/text here but with SfM lmao

[timber willow]

If it was taken that way then my bad wasn't meant to sound like that

[spark wedge]

blueprints 6x6 please

[fluid sapphire]

all good 😄

[spark wedge]

Why not aurora

[clear aspen]

Any April fools jokes in this server?

[brittle dune]

It ain't happening

[spark wedge]

In Satisfactory yes xD

[brittle dune]

The mk3 is already huge

[clear aspen]

Te game or server

[spark wedge]

Game

[clear aspen]

Ah

[spark wedge]

Exists blueprints mk3?

[brittle dune]

Yeah? There's 3 different sizes of blueprint makers?

[keen sapphire]

Hi i'm trying to make a coal power plant can when all the machine start up it blows the fuse does the power grid have a power limit on it?

[reef basin]

no it doesn't

[fluid sapphire]

isnt mk3 already 6x6 though?

[brittle dune]

Which, my mistake, is 48m×48m×48m

[brittle dune]

I didn't remember the sizes off the top of my head

[fluid sapphire]

i only have mk2 myself so far and thats 5x5

[spark wedge]

Oh true, i didnt remembered the mk3 in tier 9

[timber willow]

Should be your turning on more then what your making if the fuse is blowing since coal needs a small amount like not a lot but does need just a bit per generator

[keen sapphire]

ok I have watch some video on the power side of the game and that confuse me more

[timber willow]

Lol it can

[timber willow]

Best bet if you interact with the generator ui turn the machine off but give it some power and let all generators fill since the power I mentioned is more so needed to get items into the generator once full turn them on slowly and it should help

[keen sapphire]

ok i will try it thanks

[tawdry charm]

Might be the miners and the pumps that eat the small bit of your power grid thats left, dissconect some machienes from other factories, or add more biomass burners, with that it should start no problem

[timber willow]

That as well could be a factor

[fluid sapphire]

yeah you need enough overhead to power the miners and water extractors to be able to kickstart the system

[tawdry charm]

2 biomass burners should be enough i think

[fluid sapphire]

dont know the scale

[keen sapphire]

i can make 800 mw of power and with all the machine runing it should be 500 mw but it keep blowing

[timber willow]

I mean I had 6 running plus the two on the hub until I had I wanna say 6-7 coal generators running my first time with the output

[fluid sapphire]

the thing is you dont get all that power instantly if the machines are not full of coal and water

[keen sapphire]

right ok

[brittle dune]

https://tenor.com/view/akira-leave-me-alone-leave-me-alone-meme-gif-6420351794930725971

[tawdry charm]

Guys does satisfactory need help with translation? Since i could help translate the game into a language that im fluelent in

[fluid sapphire]

the easiest thing to do is to separate the coal power plant from the rest of the grid, kickstart it with its own biomass burners, once its working at full throttle, connect it back to the rest of the grid

[keen sapphire]

ok thanks

[heavy comet]

guys how do i unlock project asembly tiers in satisfactory calc

[rough shore]

C++

[fluid sapphire]

compilers translate that well enough, surely

[keen sapphire]

would it help to unlock the power switch too

[heavy comet]

anyone

[fiery pewter]

Wha

[fluid sapphire]

finish your current phase, feed the space elevator the parts it needs

[timber willow]

I mean you can but don't need to

[heavy comet]

no dude i dont wan play early game

[keen sapphire]

ok thanks

[fluid sapphire]

ah.

[timber willow]

How early are we talking phase 1, phase 2

[rough shore]

i think u want to

phase 1 is peak

[heavy comet]

phase 2 or sum

[heavy comet]

yea really peak my 1273017e12093790147th playthrough

[rough shore]

then u should be able to complete it in a few hours

[timber willow]

You do realize phase one is what one item right I believe

[rough shore]

just a little warmup

[brittle dune]

Its gonna be in their interactive map

[heavy comet]

im too lazy to

[heavy comet]

ik but how do i unlock tiers not schematics

[brittle dune]

You upload your savefile and you can change shit

[brittle dune]

It should be in there

[fiery pewter]

Early game being necessary to give you the ability to prepare for late game

[heavy comet]

wdym

[timber willow]

Yeah to change data you need the scim interactive map site

[brittle dune]

Nah, nah, what about tier 0

[brittle dune]

#satisfactory message

[fiery pewter]

Yeah

So

Seems like a lack of motivation to not put all that time into 1 save

Which I totally get because I have the same

[rough shore]

i mean also u will do the same things no matter what even if u skip tho

difference is instead of starting with biomass generators u might start with coal thats it i feel like

[brittle dune]

I mean a factory planned for building phase 1 stuff isn't gonna be the same as one(s) for phase 2

[timber willow]

Pretty much

[rough shore]

50 smart platings dont need a whole factory bro

[reef basin]

no but all the phase 1 materials do

[rough shore]

u will still make all the phase 1 materials even if ur in phase 2

[keen flame]

bridget!? and trans girl!?!?

[brittle dune]

Haiii :3

[reef basin]

which is why you don't really "skip" phase 1 anyway

[keen flame]

hi hi

[analog panther]

Dear devs, you got me good today, hats off 🙂

[rough shore]

thats what im saying

[ornate saffron]

Bridget is a great character

[keen flame]

least annoying of course

most fun to play against 🥰

[brittle dune]

I haven't actually played GG lmao

I'm just trans

[timber willow]

exactly this i mean you need some stuff as you progress through milestones to make and do more since thinking about it would kinda have to transition your power as you play unless you have creative mode enabled

[indigo pumice]

bruh i saw a huge lizard doggo and a minuscule tik elephang giraffe thingy

ohh is it cus of april 1st? i thought my game bugged

i actually forgot

[ornate saffron]

fair. Its a character that has evolved over the last 30 years rather heavily, from Haha this dude was raised as a girl to a Woman who accepts her Identity.

Are the stingers finally titan size as well with this April fools update

[twin parcel]

the space giraffe looks smoll

[clever pier]

i try not to do too much environmental destruction. except the red forest. fuck that place

[brittle dune]

Also who's fucking idea was it to make the pure iron recipe 7:13

[brittle dune]

Like, yeah, just hand me 2 prime numbers* gee thanks
-# *over five

[winged root]

Nah, irradiate the swamp hopefully it kills of the spiders and if not well now you have an irradiated spider problem

[twin parcel]

underclocking works

@errant ledge What is today

[brittle dune]

To

[twin parcel]

i wished there is a reward killing space giraffe

[brittle dune]

Bruh

How did they cause the pure iron recipe to end up with 2 shitty primes

[twin parcel]

pipes is easy , just use bunch of pumps

[tawdry charm]

Why do you want a reward for slaughtering me...

[abstract heron]

are my hrs TOTAL good 19,040 hrs on record

[brittle dune]

I remember you used to drop the same things the hogs do

[twin parcel]

eh i slaughter them , frequently when building my factory , i see i kill .

[brittle dune]

For some reason

[tawdry charm]

Pipes are easy, just make a huge tower (Maybie 2 if you want to recreate something), slap a buffer on top, connect all of your pipes to that buffer, and bam only pumps you needed to use was to bring fuild to that buffer, when you take fluid out of the buffer pressure is going to be everywhere

[ornate saffron]

buffer is completely unnecessary pipe being higher then input is good enough

[brittle dune]

Why does everybody start talking about headlift when pipes being wonky is brought up

[fleet star]

Waiting for devs to announce satisfactory 2 today..

[brittle dune]

That is the least problematic part of pipes

[tawdry charm]

Does sombody know a clear way to know if i have been accepted or rejected my application form for translation?

[fleet star]

There has to be elevation changes between start to finish on pipes; the sloshing mechanic makes it so that the fluids try to balance out when they are flowing through even-leveled pipes

[abstract heron]

got the all ore or aleast all 1200 for 100 nuclear pasta

thats all done 🙂

[fleet star]

If you want consistent throughput then the best thing to do is have junctions higher up than your machine inputs and the pipes angle downwards to flow into them. Also if you have ups and downs then flow all liquid to a high point and the water tower principle will make them flow smoothly through elevation changes

[abstract heron]

Really @void gorge

[proud bough]

ohoho server admins are evil

[abstract heron]

REALLY!!!!!!! for that icon

See it as an exercise to combat your OCD

Or a wake-up call

[proper olive]

i was walking to my hub and turned a corner to see a godzilla sized lizard doggo sprinting full speed at me. almost had a heart attack

[warped stirrup]

I noticed it was part of the image and not a notification.

[abstract heron]

Just saying what is today

[reef basin]

each patch increases build number by 1 so that people have to update the servers constantly, except for every 7th or 8th patch, which decreases is by either 3 or 5

[void gorge]

Sheesh we've lost 14 Pioneers on Discord so far

Where's my popcorn

[tepid finch]

Oh. It's part of the image. That's going to drive me crazy all day
