[merry vapor]

can someone spoil for me a little.
You can answer yes or no, but will is there a power source after coal?

[ornate saffron]

yes

[tawdry charm]

yes

[merry vapor]

ayeee

[tawdry charm]

plenty more sources

[jagged nymph]

yes, like 3 or 4 different ones

in fact theres fuel power in the phase youre currently in

[merry vapor]

bc touching the ship was his job and im the one collecting the funny slugs

[tawdry charm]

Man just look at the milestones at one time XD

[ornate saffron]

coal is a gap option to get you off bio.

[unkempt blade]

no it circles back to biomass again after coal

[bitter agate]

Some people jump straight into fuel after biomass/advanced biofuel processing

[tawdry charm]

No, you farm slugs and cook them for energy XD

[merry vapor]

there are literally no trees or bushes in a 500m radius of my base kek

[feral vector]

How tf do you guys plan so you have enough room? I made the second floor of my factory pretty big but I don't think it's gonna fit all the machines if I want to automate phase 3 parts

[worn oar]

Hello, are there resources for modding in this Discord server? I want to make a continuous jetpack mod

[tawdry charm]

Overplan, leave like 50 more foundations for machenes

[unkempt blade]

if I did that I wouldn't have enough slugs for the slug carousel around my hub

[tawdry charm]

or make multiple floors

[merry vapor]

I started off in the forest and seems like theres enough open area in some locations since its all over a flat plains biom

[ornate saffron]

ya, I did a run where i only used Bio and Geo until i hit NRF

[feral vector]

I can just build my big floating foundation out further I guess but damn lol I didn't think I'd run out of space so fast

[worn oar]

Me: I sure hope I don't still have to gather leaves to power my phase 3 and 4 factories!
The humble 30 GW liquid biofuel plant calling my name:

[merry vapor]

ty for all the help everybody, the factory must grow

[feral vector]

I'm trying to do everything in a line to keep it organized, one side of my base has all the belts running along it so I can feed smelters from that side

Maybe I should have two lines of smelters? It seems like I ended up going wider than I thought and not using the depth of the foundation platform 🤔

[bitter agate]

Once you get somersloops researched then just sloop the process of getting more biomass materials

[ornate saffron]

animal remains slooped-biocaol slooped

[feral vector]

Or maybe building everything in a line is a weird way to use space 🤔

Y'all remind me I gotta try liquid biofuel for my jetpack

[rare portal]

what is the main way of producing power after oil? I know it goes biomass-coal-oil, what next?

[ornate saffron]

other oil byproducts

[feral vector]

Better oil lol

[rare portal]

when do you get to nuclear?

[feral vector]

You can completely skip nuclear afaik

[ornate saffron]

phase 4

[rare portal]

is it better then oil?

[worn oar]

If you call now, we'll even sloop your MAM as a bonus gift. That's twice as many researches per research! Call now, 1-866-SCAMMER (1-866-722-6637). Call within the next 20 minutes to receive your bonus gift. Call now!

[ornate saffron]

the game is easily completable with just normal fuel

[feral vector]

Diluted (packaged) fuel seems genuinely ridiculous

[ornate saffron]

its a stepping stone to big numbers

[bitter agate]

ehhhh, it's better for a start

[feral vector]

I was using the base recipe and I get like 400 fuel from 600 crude, packaging it is insane

[tender knoll]

guys is there any way to know which machines in my world have somerslopps in them cuz im missing like 6 and i fogor where i put them?

[proven snow]

Makes a lot more power yea and takes less space.

But the recipes for making the nuclear fuel and such is more complicated. Many people engage little with it because honestly making enough oil fuel to suit your needs is pretty easy. Nuclear is a fun challenge tho

[fair oak]

Lollll, i got random small creators some are orange how to fix this bug?

[feral vector]

Good question I swear I have more sloops somewhere

[worn oar]

You can see by using the SCIM, looking for the purple hue on your production light on the machine, or using the somersloop finder mod.

[tender knoll]

but like genuinely i had like 8 and now im at one like huh

[tender knoll]

whats a scim

[tawdry charm]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/

[feral vector]

Like the green/yellow/red light?

[rare portal]

I just have a friend and he has like bunch of nuclear power plants powering a huge factory, so I wanted to know the advantages of nuclear vs oil.

[tender knoll]

how do i find that mod

[worn oar]

The small light turns purple instead of green and there's a purple haze around it while it produces if a somersloop is inserted.

[feral vector]

Cool thanks

[tender knoll]

i am NOT looking through every single machine thank you

[worn oar]

[lean fossil]

SHOULD I put polymer residue in a storage THEN output that storage into my residual MACHINES or just make it raw

[tender knoll]

what is naoya doing here

[jagged nymph]

why store it

[lean fossil]

the system is being slightly clogged up

So Iw as thinking to store it so that it can be a little unclogger

[jagged nymph]

then add an overflow isnk

[lean fossil]

#screenshots message

[jagged nymph]

if it clogs, then the storage is just gonna fill up eventually

[lean fossil]

there MIGHT be an issue with the way I put the mergers.

[jagged nymph]

youre just delaying the issue

[lean fossil]

Is the way I placed the conveyors wrong?

[lean fossil]

The resources are being eaten 100% it's just that

Like the conveyors are doin some shit as to where the first 2 machines CANNOT get their residue to point B

[unkempt blade]

It sounds like your doggos got into the doggo chow. You need to make sure it's in an air tight container so it doesn't spoil or get eaten by critters

[lean fossil]

what

[unkempt blade]

I'm helping you troubleshoot how you resources are getting eaten

[worn oar]

If the filled sides aren't moving, it's a blueprint bug. Remove and replace the empty sections

[tender knoll]

i got to upload my map to scim but it doesnt show my somersloops

[lean fossil]

I...I dont use blueprints.

[tender knoll]

and in the mods part the somersloop finder doesnt show up

[lean fossil]

artifacts

[tender knoll]

blueprints are lame anyway

(im js lazy)

[tender knoll]

whah

[lean fossil]

fucking artifacts

[worn oar]

Replace the splitter and reconnect, or check your filter if it's a smart splitter.

[cold berry]

Wait can I use the notes for parts? For... Some reason, I thought it was only for buildings

[lean fossil]

There are no splitters here.

These are mergers....

[worn oar]

You've exhausted my desire to troubleshoot this sorry

[lean fossil]

which one

or reroll

[ornate saffron]

which do you think youll use

[lean fossil]

I'm literally clueless.

[stark ridge]

Hi there. I am learning and i find it tedious to go through menus when looking for recipes. In factiorio I could alt+click any given object in the game and it would bring up a wiki. Is there something similar in satisfactory I am missing?

[ornate saffron]

just flip a coin then. There is more harddrives in the game then recipes

[lean fossil]

I finished phase 2 so I'm not super in the game so I dont know what i shall need

[ornate saffron]

O is for codex you can quick search with N

quicksearch is also a basic calculater

[hearty flame]

if you have no use for the plates then just reroll
concrete is easy to make

especially if you have a pure limestone node

[lean fossil]

I already have a gazillion plates so im good

got molded steel pipe ggs

[hearty flame]

ggs

[lean fossil]

67/69? is this thing tryna be funny or sum gng

[lean fossil]

no auto wiki but it'll show you recipes you have

[stark ridge]

Ah this is great. Thank you 👍 . I supose there is no "point this and tell me what it is" feature? But I get I am trying my luck.

[lean fossil]

Press N and search

oh i nver knew O existed.
NICE

Btw you can use N to calculate

[hearty flame]

very nice. Now all i need is a integrated spreadsheet 😄

what the **** is that

[hearty flame]

[lean fossil]

what does 227 67/79 mean.

[hearty flame]

idk if i should pillar up with foundations or what

[ornate saffron]

teleporters

[hearty flame]

i dont have them yet-

[supple canopy]

it means 227 + 67/79

[lean fossil]

I uh still dont get that.

[ornate saffron]

now you have a goal

[lean fossil]

use stairs

[supple canopy]

227,84810126....

[lean fossil]

the ramp?

[ornate saffron]

ladders 🤷

[lean fossil]

HPOW THE *** AM I SUPPOSED TO PU THAT ON A MACHINe

there is no shitty way you can type them holdon

You CAN type them oh my GOD

[supple canopy]

what is the machine and the recipe?

[lean fossil]

m,olded steel pipes

[lavish flame]

you can type it and the machine just rounds it to the nearest point like 2 points after decimal i think? or 3 i don't remember

[supple canopy]

yea you can even type calculations in the % and production but in either case the game will only take the 4 first decimals of the %, can't be more precise than that

[lavish flame]

what that guy said

[west jackal]

Depends if thats p/min or percent, but you can type it in like they are saying

[lean fossil]

...i need more concrete.

[supple canopy]

but it's always good to produce a integer multiple of the end production to avoid getting weird decimals like that. Like if you're producing 3,75 turbomotors using the standard recipe you'll never get weird ass decimals upstreams

[abstract heron]

Ik but I want them to fix it for mods so the smm stuff can get updated

[clear aspen]

Wdym

[abstract heron]

Cause I wanna to do 20k hrs total before review

[abstract heron]

And also do something ish about the lag or something or foundations to see if it’s on there end

[ornate saffron]

just remove all foundations from the game using SCIM. im sure that would help with the lag

[abstract heron]

But I wanna keep them

[ornate saffron]

reseting the Uobject limit to defualt would help too

[unkempt blade]

and then put them all back using a megaprint

[west jackal]

I agree it gets laggy with lots of foundations, just not sure what they can do

[clear aspen]

Man I can’t wait to go home I’m gonna unlock nuclear power

[abstract heron]

Remember to test each stage you might goofed it up or something

[feral vector]

someone said you can use SCIM to see where your sloops are, how would I do that?

[clear aspen]

I will not mess up nuclear.

its not bad

you can check the wiki for every parts point value

oh I figured you needed to do somthing with it kinda like how you use a bed in minecraft

[ornate saffron]

nope its automatic. You just drop your log and go

[lime furnace]

thats realy nice

[cedar rock]

What is the best starting location for a new save for a experienced pioneer

[lime furnace]

I would go desert if your ok with a little grinding in the start

there or norhter forest for easy lants

[cedar rock]

I have done 1.2 previos save in northen forest so maybe i could do a little change and go desert?

[fluid sapphire]

If you're experienced why do you need an outside opinion

[lime furnace]

just keep in mind there is not much biomass

[cedar rock]

Theres a lot of people in this game that are better than me so thats why

[fluid sapphire]

You can make just about anything work

[tired trench]

you can make biomass from leaves, right?

[cedar rock]

yes and wood

[lime furnace]

since when do stackable hyper toobs exist

[inner ruin]

is there any turntables on here?

[ornate saffron]

i like the forest. no flat areas. lots of pure resources and a bit of every resource

[cedar rock]

And a lot of biomass for early game

[true mulch]

since hypertubes themselves, update 3

[lime furnace]

ok guess I never noticed them

[true mulch]

or, well, specifically v0.3.3.1 while hypertubes were v0.3

[cold berry]

What are some blueprints you didn't make that you can't live without? I make my own blueprints for a lot, but, sometimes you just don't feel like making one, like curved roads for example. Mine is the 4x4 vanilla curve by Hornslet

Why have I not done this. Portable high speed lift cannon.

depots

[fluid sapphire]

Uploaders can probably handle 99,9% of the average players building needs

[storm zephyr]

is there an easier way to find mercer spheres?

[ornate saffron]

you are limited to 206 i think

actually i need 34 and one underclocked to 50% 😭

[fluid sapphire]

Then build 60

Like i did

[normal orbit]

stations are directional, you see a big arrow pointing which way they go

they need to point same way as train

[inner ruin]

i made u a screenshot

[normal orbit]

your train is too far forward

needs to line up exaktly with station

[inner ruin]

still doesnt dockl

[normal orbit]

are you in drivers seat?

[fluid sapphire]

Sure your platforms are set to load and not unload?

[normal orbit]

you should get prompt to press F

[inner ruin]

i mean its docking but it wont load onto the train

[normal orbit]

is terminal set to load?

[inner ruin]

yes

[lime furnace]

is there not a way to attach steam screen shots on the Q&A website

[normal orbit]

you have a cargo box on the car behind, is it full?

[inner ruin]

yeah i want it to load into the next one

[real shale]

Manual drive it back a bit and then back into the train station and try to load it then

[ornate saffron]

not sure, ive only ever upvoted posts. i have yet t omake a fresh post

[real shale]

Sometimes they can get stuck "docking"

[fluid sapphire]

you need the stations and platforms to line up properly, the train will always stop at the station

Put an empty platform between the station and the freight platform

[normal orbit]

you need to match the terminals to the cars on train, so the first terminal only loads first car

[inner ruin]

so i need a second dock if i want it in the second freight?

[fluid sapphire]

No, use an empty platform

[normal orbit]

you need to move the cargo terminal back one space by using an empty platform

[inner ruin]

if youre agreeing with neko then the answer is yes

[normal orbit]

and it must be a empty platform not just train track

[fluid sapphire]

No, the setup is as such: station - > empty platform - >freight platform

That way the platform you want to load from lines up with your second freight car

[inner ruin]

lemme wait till it all transfers

oh bruh if it works this way then the next one would need 3

[fluid sapphire]

Well, yeah

[real shale]

We need whitewine and rosewine

[inner ruin]

oh right i need to change my name to cava now that winter is over

done

[real shale]

We need redwine, whitewine and rosewine

[inner ruin]

no you only need red wine

[real shale]

Idk, I think stinger meat pairs well with white wine

[inner ruin]

well it slows down ur thinking so dont play this game while drunk. im talking from experience

[ornate saffron]

or extremly tired

[real shale]

Lmao I love how many people haven't seen the walker before

[proven snow]

weird advice to give to someone that doesn't drink 😂

[inner ruin]

😄

[inner ruin]

do i need 2 of the freight platforms if i want to load into the second freight cart?

[real shale]

You should probably drink water, I think you need that to live

[fluid sapphire]

Sure, I remember it from my 5 minutes of Sanctum 2 in 2014

[proven snow]

Nah I just inject that

Straight to the source and all, y'kno?

something like that

[normal orbit]

didnt you just load into the second one? you just mimic the station to the train or vice versa

[ornate saffron]

lots of new players since console release

[storm zephyr]

wdym walker

[inner ruin]

yeah i have but i wanted to remove the first one if i dont intend to load into the first frieghter

[storm zephyr]

are you talking about the space giraffe tick penguin thing

[real shale]

No, the walker

[muted pine]

I have 5 pipes from refineries. I want to push their output higher with a pump. can i put a pump like this and have it work for each pipe individually? for example if every pipe has flow rate of 600 so 3000 in total, does it work? https://i.imgur.com/C6cGaEO.png

[fluid sapphire]

Use the screenshots channel

[muted pine]

thanks 🙂 did it

[normal orbit]

kiiind of, but i would not set up that, its a recipe for flow issues

[real shale]

Still won't forget the crab boss seen on the E3 trailer

[normal orbit]

the headache of that vs power cost of 5 pumps is not worth it

[muted pine]

yes? ok that sucks a bit then I need to remodel a bit to save on pumps. though I think around 200-300 mk2 pumps arent the world either, so we will see.

[inner ruin]

Ill try be clear. I have 4 freight wagons on this train. at this station i only ever want to load into the second freight wagon. Will i need both the first and second fright platform?

[muted pine]

mk2 pumps use 7 MW right?

[normal orbit]

12 iirc

[muted pine]

alright fair enough

not too bad you're right

[normal orbit]

nope 8 it seems

[normal orbit]

no you use a empty platform to only load 2nd one

[storm zephyr]

should I build a huge array of bridges in the sky to go from place to place

i can probably put rails and powerlines and stuffo n them

[real shale]

You should do whatever you feel like you want to do

[normal orbit]

do what ya want

some dont care and just make floating platforms, others use the terrain to build around. do whatever floats your fancy

[inner ruin]

ah okay this is why it wasnt working. i thought i could just shove the second freighter into the freight platform and itd load

[storm zephyr]

is there something up with my save?? why does the map look like this #screenshots

[real shale]

You have to discover the map first Not sure

Given that I can see mercer spheres is this SCIM?

[storm zephyr]

yeah

i tried all 3 of the autosaves but it wont load properly

it doesnt show any of my machines either

[real shale]

Not sure, seems like it's more of an SCIM issue

[storm zephyr]

is there any way to fix it

[ornate saffron]

are you playing expermental? also you can turn off fog

for scim

[normal orbit]

the map doesnt show machines

[storm zephyr]

no

nvm im an idiot i was loading the wrong save 😭

[inner ruin]

have you tried loading the right save?

[real shale]

Could be the wrong save

[merry vapor]

can anyone give me a quick answer on why Im not able to split off from a hypertube branch? (i wanted to make a cannon)

idk its way far on the edge of the map and blacked out so im confused

[ornate saffron]

then its likely death

[zealous coral]

just fly down to the rocks on the right

why fly into the void when theres rocks there u have chute

[storm zephyr]

what the FUCK did i just find

i dont think the alpha hogs are replaced with walkers too are they???

will there be a big alien lroe reveal when i collect enough mercer spheres or is it just silly banter between ada and the aliens

[winter thunder]

If my tractor falls out of the map is there a way i can delete it or is there a way to get the marker off the top of the screen

[zealous coral]

#screenshots

i would think that they wouldve turned the player model into jason like in the tiktok

[stark ridge]

I need 3 to 4 load balancer. That looks very messy and I dont like it. 4 to 4 seems more satisfactory to me. If I do that can I simply leave one of the inputs unattached to get the same result? Or am I going to have some belts not being balanced?

[next ivy]

"need"

[inner ruin]

you might be able to feed it back into itself if its not balanced. but idk

[next ivy]

if its TU it doesnt matter which or how many inputs / outputs are used

[stark ridge]

I am not familiar what is TU? Aparently throuput

[minor cedar]

can i make it so that a freight station loads its items into one specific train but doesnt on other trains?

[steady hemlock]

How do I get the April fools dude skin?

Are the doggos meant to be 10ft tall and massive

[next ivy]

yes

they just get like that when theyre around radiation too much

[uneven minnow]

Ah right thank you I was confused on by this massive dog lizard thing walked onto my base

[uneven minnow]

There is no radiation on my base

[storm zephyr]

so

are hard drive unlocks based on what tiers/milestones you have or just which items you have

[next ivy]

they probably walked past some then

[storm zephyr]

i have 74 alien proteins what do i even do with these

[inner ruin]

put it in the MAM

[next ivy]

eat it

[lime furnace]

are there any ways to place a hyper tube suport on top of a beam?

never mind I found a way to get around the problem

[storm zephyr]

is the lets game it out hypertube thing still possible?

can i launch myself using a bunch of hypertube entrances

[hearty flame]

hot take:
you should be able to fly drones to plan their route, so they dont clip through stuff while landing

[vapid jasper]

hello, i just got satisfactory today and i was wondering if my ores are infinite, i put my hub by 3 big copper things in the floor and i was wondering if theyll run out?

[storm zephyr]

no

the ore things on the ground are infinite

how do i enter hypertubes???

[hearty flame]

you walk in them using the hypertube entrance?

[storm zephyr]

so is this not possible anymore #screenshots

[sick falcon]

factorio player?

[hearty flame]

thats not linked to anywhere

u need to copy the msg link

[vapid jasper]

i have not played any factory/automation game, i just really like base building and survival type games. i had lightyear frontier for around an hour but refunded it and got satisfactory instead

[storm zephyr]

#screenshots message

[sick falcon]

oh nvm then

[hearty flame]

its possible, but you need to add at least some pipe to each entrance to make that work

[storm zephyr]

is there any other way to launch myself

[vapid jasper]

do the onboarding objectives never like make me automate or get better tools? do i figure that out on my own? ive done 3 hub upgrades but i havent advanced tools or anything

[storm zephyr]

the hub upgrades are kinda just a tutorial

[drowsy kelp]

you're in the tutorial, you have to start at the basics

"advanced tools" come later

[storm zephyr]

technically you can get away with doing everything manually until you get the space elevator

but you should start earlier

[drowsy kelp]

you'll just suffer the whole time

[vapid jasper]

yeah thats why im asking, with one mobile miner and me mining only its gonna be slow

[drowsy kelp]

you're about half way through the tutorial iirc

it doesn't stay full manual for much longer

[hearty flame]

#screenshots message

[storm zephyr]

how do i make the hypertubes go at an angle vertically

[inner ruin]

u can use R or something to change their mode

[kind blade]

my doggo became the size of a truck and phased out of the map </3

[hearty flame]

with the support, click the "place" button once, and it shouldnt place, then you can alter the height by looking up/down, and change the angle with the scrollwheel

[hearty flame]

😭

[kind blade]

hes in a better place now

[vapid jasper]

if i dismantle my hub will it came back the same level

[inner ruin]

like? your progress?

you can move the hub around and nothing will change but that storage box will go in ur inventoryu

[karmic crow]

Should I have the rubber alternate unlocked if I already have the plastic alternate unlocked too ?

[storm zephyr]

does anyone know why this doesnt work? #screenshots message

[sick falcon]

no you have to mine and craft everything by hand

for the entire game

[storm zephyr]

it just goesr eally slow did they fix it or something

[reef basin]

that's your choice

[sick falcon]

i think u need to make it loop so you can go around it building up speed before you launch

idk i never use hypertubes

[storm zephyr]

and i should use a hypertube branch for that?

[sick falcon]

yes

[karmic crow]

Made my first hyper tube cannon they are insane

With liquid biofuel and a jet pack you can fly across the whole map

[storm zephyr]

is there a way to make my hypertube branch go to the right instead

[karmic crow]

What’s the website that makes figuring out ratios easier I’m trying to turn 600 crude into mostly plastic and some rubber but using the diluted fuel recipe and the alt for plastic and rubber and it’s too damn complicated to figure out

[ornate saffron]

i use satisfactory tools

[feral vector]

maybe I should try one instead of just having a bunch of entrances launch me into a tube

[karmic crow]

That’s basically what they are

Let me take a video and sent it I think it’s crazy

[storm zephyr]

how do i control which way i go at a hypertube junction

[inner ruin]

E

[next ivy]

ive never used them, but i will guess wasd

[storm zephyr]

?

[sleek garden]

quick question what computer should i use alternitve ones or stick with the origonal i want to make 5 per min

[jagged nymph]

whichever one you want

all recipes are good, it just depends on what resources you have available, where youre building it, and personal preference

[storm zephyr]

doesnt do nun

[reef basin]

whichever makes most sense for given situation

[inner ruin]

when the blue rings start showing, press E

[storm zephyr]

there are no blue rings showing

[sleek garden]

no since i have been drawing out designs and the quick wire on is hard to get quickwire to the area i want but the original is annoying since the amount of copper i need

[inner ruin]

what kinda junction are u using

[storm zephyr]

branch

if the tube entrance is right infront of the branch will it not work?

[inner ruin]

i just press E when near it and it switches

did you connect it?

[storm zephyr]

yeah

[inner ruin]

oh if its right infront you might not be able to press E fast enough

[sleek garden]

the closes caterium node is 1km from me but there is only one normal copper node near me

[storm zephyr]

bruh

[inner ruin]

like the game wont let u press E fast enough

[reef basin]

well you should build near nodes anyway

[steady anvil]

why are the creature sizes so strange? april fools?

[storm zephyr]

yeah

[sleek garden]

i have most of everything else near me but its the copper and catierum I'm having issues since how little copper is near me and how far catiurium is from me

[plucky bone]

Is the "Turbo blend fuel" recipe any good?

[steady anvil]

for me yes

[reef basin]

all recipes are good

[steady anvil]

no not really

[reef basin]

yes really

[plucky bone]

True. Just gotta use em correctly

[reef basin]

every recipe is good for something

[sleek garden]

i use the heavy turb and i can make 82.3333 power gens

[storm zephyr]

is there anything i can use to hover like a parachute without ruining my horizontal momentum?

[reef basin]

whether you like it or not is a different story

[storm zephyr]

trying to make a cannon to reach other areas of the map quicker

[steady anvil]

the hoerpack

[reef basin]

correct use is "do you want to use it in this case? if yes, that's a correct use"

[steady anvil]

or jetpack

[storm zephyr]

will the regular jetpack work too

[steady anvil]

yes

[plucky bone]

Jetpack in bursts. Can go forever. Then hotswap to parachute when out of fuel.

[grave mountain]

Does anyone know how we can unlock the lizard doggo helmet or do we automatically get it ?

[bitter dust]

[jagged nymph]

25 MINUTES UNTIL ARTEMIS 2 LAUNCH

[vapid jasper]

is wood needed in late game? or can i clear all nearby trees to turn it into biomass

[inner ruin]

nah youll get coal before long

id keep some biomass though. i have a crate of it

[vapid jasper]

i was gonna turn all wood into biomass to start automating stuff

[inner ruin]

the coal reactor needs water from a water pump but the water pump needs electric from the reactor so i have a biomass generator as a starter to make the pump run long enough until the coal reactor can take over

[oblique aspen]

there is some uses for it, solid biofuel is the only fuel for chainsaws, jelly pads take biomass to make, but its not like a lot

you never need leaves or wood directly

[vapid jasper]

i was gonna cut down a ton of trees for a ton of biomass and just hope i never need more wood

but when i get the chainsaw i get solid biofuel too and idk what that is

[oblique aspen]

its compacted biomass, burns longer in biofuel generators, and the chainsaw uses it as fuel

also you probably shouldnt go on a tree killing spree until you have the chainsaw, it makes all collecting so much easier 😄

[jagged nymph]

10 MINUTES UNTIL ARTEMIS 2

[vapid jasper]

i am getting the chainsaw shortly, working on that before doing anything tree related lol i didnt know i could even get them down without it

[oblique aspen]

eh probably not, only like bushes

[vapid jasper]

i havent tried, i just figured id get the chainsaw first so i can get a ton of wood for biomass to get things autocrafting on my iron nodes and stuff

[karmic crow]

Is useful when making liquid biofuel which is the best fuel for jet packs

There’s so much wood in the game though you’ll never run out

[reef basin]

it's infinite

[jagged nymph]

I'm working on a really big factory that's really high up off the ground, and I want want to minimize visual clutter underneath. the current factory I'm planning to automate phase 3 needs 2960.63 water and I'm thinking about bringing it in on a train instead of having a massive pipeline. thoughts?

[inner ruin]

is it german or something? sweedish?

[reef basin]

why not
but also why high above ground

[hard wolf]

so I can build thrusters underneath and make it look like it's floating

[lime furnace]

can I not use scim to unlock daisy chaining for the experimental branch?

[hard wolf]

I could add the big chains as tethers but i want it to look very sci-fi

just drag it out

anything that makes me fly tbh

Tier 5 I think?

It's pretty early

[viral egret]

that's phase 2 i think?

either way, dozens of hours away

[noble coral]

??

[fluid sapphire]

Not really if you're doing tier 3 stuff

[primal crypt]

yeah theirs crash sites with aluminum plate you can use for hover pack as soon as you get into phase 4 . also doggos drop most stuff

[fluid sapphire]

Phase 3 is not far, just get cooking with your smart plating, you can unlock the jetpack basically as soon as you finish phase 2

Whatever materials you need you can easily get from crash sites

Sloop your smart plating machines and it'll go quick

the hell kind of sense does that make

[winter thunder]

Nvm im out of damn screws 💀

[dense violet]

if it's about clocking figure out how much you want to out put and what % of a 100% cycle it is

[bitter grotto]

satisfactory modeler

[leaden turret]

do the math and times by 100, presumably

[dense violet]

yeah modeler is terrible. Barely legible.
figure out the clocking, input into the machine

[leaden turret]

except the numbers are the wrong way around for a decimal percentage?

[dense violet]

could be under clocked

no idea though, terrible user interface

[leaden turret]

881208 / 3159 = 278.951566951567

[dense violet]

the 88 doesn't seem attached though?

and it could just be that you need a total of 27800% clocking

[leaden turret]

then it would be 0.3823994935106046

which seems more reasonable, but also nice to know there's a worse planner UI than mine

[dense violet]

38% clocking is reasonable

[bitter grotto]

that sounds reasonable ill try that

[dense violet]

I've actually seen a worse planner than modeler

[dense violet]

you should really be confident about the numbers and what things mean before just slapping things into a system, but gl

what are you trying to make?

[bitter grotto]

phase* 3 space elevator parts

[dense violet]

here, a much clearer planner that takes literlaly 2 second shttps://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=qzdPkZnrZLtZzi7LYD2P

[cold berry]

Haha I make the part and the factory go brrrrrr

You can totally like, guesstimate man

[feral vector]

not in my nature lol I feel obligated to balance stuff

[plucky bone]

Does my math sound right? 800 turbo fuel will run 42.6667 fuel gens at 250%? Seems off.

[feral vector]

is running a manifold with something that is produced slowly but has a relatively big stack size a bad idea? reinforced iron plates for 5x assemblers right now

[inner ruin]

oh i got that its noisy af

[feral vector]

I just hand fed a bunch into them but seems like it would take forever for the manifold to work out?

[fluid sapphire]

whats off about it, 800/(7.5*2.5)

[valid glacier]

can someone let me know if my coal power plant is good enough for getting through phase 3 of space elevator (the screenshot is in #screenshots )

[plucky bone]

Figured so. Just makin sure. Thats a boatload of gens for this smallish setup I have.

Thanks

[dense violet]

works just fine

might take a while? just go do something else

[feral vector]

that's a lot of water extractors lol. how much power are you generating?

[valid glacier]

let me use quick search right now (also yeah i thought that i had too many water extractors)

[sinful moth]

When does 1.2 releases

[leaden turret]

after 1.1 and before 1.3

[feral vector]

I just did phase 4 with like 4k MW max consumption, but I cheated and container fed the manufacturers for the last 2 parts

[dense violet]

your coal gens might be too high
way too many extractors
did you math this out?

[feral vector]

I spent so long last night figuring out math then was like... i just want to get this over with XD

[valid glacier]

975MW, i have 2 of the coal generators in use right now with about 10-20MW spare so about 1000MW

[valid glacier]

no.. just freehand, its my first world so yeah

[feral vector]

yeah you probably want like 3x that, at the bare minimum?

just use the lessons you learned from coal gens to make some fuel gens

[dense violet]

you really really want to properly math out your power systems.
if nothing else you math out, math out your power

[ember moon]

at bare minimum its 8 coal gens and 3 water pumps

[valid glacier]

so im guessing 360 coal per minute will not be enough for 3x'ing it

[dense violet]

!wikisearch CG

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

[feral vector]

why are you trying to stay with coal?

[feral jay]

eh, just make twice what you need

[dense violet]

some simple layouts for you

[dense violet]

it's not about mathing out how much power you're making it's mathign out the fuels and process

[ember moon]

I could get it to run 10 gens trust!

lol

[feral jay]

ah, yes, for sure, joined the conversation late, absolutely math it out

[feral vector]

yeah that's the one thing I'm really careful with

[valid glacier]

well i do have refinery unlocked and crude oil but idk if i will have enough materials for the oil extractors and i have no idea if fuel generators can even run off of crude oil. its really stressful for me bro!!

[dense violet]

you need to make fuel from oil

[valid glacier]

ok so my coal plants will be enough to jumpstart the fuel power plant though right?

[ember moon]

should be

[dense violet]

I'm not even sure it'll work, not enough headlift

[valid glacier]

it does work, ive been running it for a solid 2-3 hours, no fuses got blown.

[ember moon]

I mean I was still on biofuel by the time I finished phase 3

I gad so much of it

[dense violet]

then sure you can always kick start stuff off any amount of power if you charge up power storage

[dense violet]

but you really really want to math out your power

[valid glacier]

okay thats a good idea actually

[valid glacier]

okay i will but do you have an idea of how much MW i would need to complete phase 3 of space elevator?

[ember moon]

well if you have 8 coal plants it should get yor through phase 3

[dense violet]

honestly once I get mk3 belts I build 64 coal gens and that gets me to tier 7 easily

[dense violet]

8 groups of 8 coal https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1488544511071096892/1488548489737535649/image.png?ex=69ce7fcf&is=69cd2e4f&hm=154c8a58ac8ac38050f4b0241756f20f63515dd58b9532834d6590b3848cddae&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

[valid glacier]

god i could never build that

[feral vector]

https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=PeIbvTztWoO4GfpBmuIV

here's a real basic fuel setup, doesn't need mk2 pipes, this would run ten fuel generators

[valid glacier]

thats the perfect plant

[dense violet]

why? it's just 8 groups of 8

[feral vector]

sure you could. you have a working group of coal gens, you just make a block of 8 and then repeat it

[ember moon]

What if I told you youd be needing something like that for later game items

[dense violet]

just this 8 times #satisfactory message

[feral vector]

are you just not automating anything wtf lol

[valid glacier]

oh how did i not see that

[ember moon]

I got through phase 3 and 4 on biofuel alone

[feral vector]

it's overwhelming when you're a newb 😛

[dense violet]

yeah don't give people that advice

[valid glacier]

tell me about it

[dense violet]

were you teh one handcrafting everything ?

[feral vector]

you do you but surely that's not a good idea for a newbie

[ember moon]

I know

I was just going off my experiance

I thought the coal generator would generate coal ngl#

[feral vector]

you should have seen me last night lol trying to figure out how to get 1200 iron split up to all my machines

[ember moon]

how many machines

[valid glacier]

that scares me for late game lol

[feral vector]

33 assemblers, 93 constructors, 6 foundry, 12 manufacturer, 19 refinery, 49 smelter. but I pussied out and container fed the manufacturers instead

[feral vector]

automating the phase 3 parts gets kinda crazy already

[valid glacier]

jeez, i might aswell quit at that point i do not have the patience of that

[ember moon]

1.2k per minute

[valid glacier]

doesnt it include manufacturers?

[ember moon]

I assume

[feral vector]

the one cobalt helped me with was actually more machiens than that lol. this plan is with container feeding automated wiring and smart plating

it was like 1196 iron ore / min and a bunch of coal/copper/etc

[ember moon]

did you not smelt the iron befor ehand

I know foundrys need iron ore

and som specific recipes need iron ore

[feral vector]

yeah. you can honestly just use storage containers to feed the manufacturers. if you have a surplus of stuff in storage

[ember moon]

you did mention smelters

[feral vector]

I ended up doing a way simpler version but nah I just have smelters up with the factory stuff

[ember moon]

So your actually needing EVEN more iron per minute than 1.2k

almost 4x that for all those machines

[feral vector]

ore to ingots is 1:1

for iron at least

[storm zephyr]

found a bug where if you fling yourself far enough out of the map it clears your inventory regardless of whether you have keep inventory on or not

[ember moon]

it comes out to about 4k per minute fro all those machines on average

[storm zephyr]

had to load a save cause it deleted all my stuff

[ornate saffron]

1:1.8 with pure iron ore

[feral vector]

didn't use any alts

good to know though, more alt recipes I need 😛

[ember moon]

no alts

[feral vector]

well not no alts, cast screws and solid steel ingots

[ember moon]

okay that cuts it down by like 2.4k

Hmm

wow what do you need that for

[feral vector]

it was for the 2 new phase 3 parts, computers, crystal oscillator, computer, heavy modular frame... basically everything I hadn't automated yet

[valid glacier]

i sent a picture of my factory that automates lots of stuff can someone tell me if there is anything else to automate? ( rotors and reinforced iron plates are further to the left )

[ornate saffron]

i did that not long agop

[feral vector]

but I realized I had more than enough shit lying around to container feed manufacturers to finish phase 3 so I just did that

all I made was the HMF factory, comptuer + circuit board factory, and I'm gonna do AI limiter/crystal oscillator/high-speed connector tonight

[ember moon]

I dont think so

what phase

[feral vector]

you can kind of just go through the milestone recipe unlocks and try to automate one machine worth of everything. plus the earlier stuff from tutorial steps

[valid glacier]

im on phase 3, i only just completed 2 yesterday

[ember moon]

do what SJ said

[valid glacier]

ok ill do that thanks

[ember moon]

phse 3 is the real grind

Steel is a pain

[feral vector]

probably automate a couple machines worth of encased industrial beams, at least a couple for concrete

[valid glacier]

ive got a storage container FULL of concrete so that will give me allot of encased beams

[ornate saffron]

ah here we are took me a minute to find. I did the same thing for phase 3 this save

#screenshots message

[feral vector]

glad I can help instead of just asking questions lol

[ornate saffron]

me too

[feral vector]

yeah that's almost the same list as me haha, I just ended up skipping the ACU and modular engine cause I had such a surplus of parts for those

[feral vector]

I'd recommend setting up a system to route everything into a storage container, and have the overflow go to awesome sinks

[ornate saffron]

I used not plastic or rubber though. because i hate myself lol

[feral vector]

that was a hassle to get sorted out on my shitty starter factory but it's nice to have containers in one area and passive sink stuff

[ornate saffron]

is your factory done ?

heres mine #design-and-architecture message

[feral vector]

I have to take the hypertube over to my refineries to grab plubber and bring it back to stuff in a few storage containers that feeds my production lines lol

[solemn vapor]

dude there is a huge ass lizard doggo what do i do

[feral vector]

yooooo wtf that's awesome. mine is just a big flat foundation lmao, I'm still missing AI limiters, high-speed connectors, crystal oscillators

[ornate saffron]

feed it a berry then pet it

[feral vector]

it's still just a friendly doggo lol

[ember moon]

want to experiance satisfactory pain so I might just do a no foundation playthrough

[solemn vapor]

how do i feed it

[ember moon]

drop a berry near it

then move back

[solemn vapor]

sick

[ornate saffron]

crouch and sneak up to it. when you are meter or three away grab a berry from you inventory and drag it off sreen

[ornate saffron]

when you succeed you can pet it and name it. and itll bring you gifts

[feral vector]

so basic lol

what can i say Im Pumpkin space latte lover

[merry vapor]

Sometimes my power randomly shuts down and idk why or whats the cause bc it immediately turns back on. Is there a way to find out besides manually going through every machine?

[feral vector]

I mean mine not yours XD

[ember moon]

Fatass teto!!!

[feral vector]

it doesn't blow a fuse?

[solemn vapor]

wash teto belly

[ornate saffron]

naw i love circuit board looking factories. I cant do it

[merry vapor]

it does, and then it just turns back on again and idk why

i havent had that ever happen so im kinda confused

[ornate saffron]

let him wander as ytou play and in30min- a hour he will have a gift for you

[feral vector]

something is probably running out of fuel? what's your power graph like

[merry vapor]

its like the game is gaslighting me lmao

[feral vector]

wait you don't have to flip it bck on?

[merry vapor]

nope. I go back to my machine and its all on. Something trips the breaker but nothing actually turns off for more than a second

[ember moon]

have you tried a simple reload

[valid glacier]

i just automated stators, and i already have rotors automated, i want to automate motors aswell but i am going to need rotors for lots of other stuff too. do i just split half of the rotors into a storage container and half into the motors?

[ornate saffron]

sounds like you have a second grid somewhere

[feral vector]

stators are pretty useless, use those for motors IMO

[valid glacier]

ok what about rotors?

[merry vapor]

maybe, let me ask everyone in my server

[feral vector]

I'd keep a a full machine worth of rotors going into storage just cause it's easy to set up that way. half a machine is probably sufficient though?

[ember moon]

theres a couple things that need stators though

[ornate saffron]

youll need some for personal use.

[solemn vapor]

epic sauce

[ornate saffron]

come 1.2 we need stators too.

[tranquil zinc]

is this a bug? first time seeing this so big #screenshots message

[feral vector]

I think only in experimental? they are basically just components for production lines I thought, you don't need to carry them with you to build stuff
