satisfactory

[gleaming wasp]

well feel free to dm me if you're running into any issues or you got any questions

[split prairie]

it was a problem with me trying to mirror my ingame factory instead of only have one machine for each step

[gleaming wasp]

i'd rather not continue it here because it's not a uk server and ion wanna bet banned

[astral moth]

Oh I just wondered if you had any weapon recommendations, I finished act 1 but I'm struggling with picking what weapon to use

[astral moth]

Oh I see, my bad, but thank you

[hollow mountain]

guys how stable is 1.2 at the moment? is there a lot of game breaking bug?

[unique hazel]

can anyone help me out here

idk whats the best way to play this game

[leaden turret]

in a way that's fun to you

[unique hazel]

like i want everything to be perfect

[leaden turret]

perfect is the enemy of good

[unique hazel]

like perfect ratios perfect everything but i dont know what point to do it

nah i want it perfect iw ill spend hours making sure a convayor is correct idc

[whole robin]

Hey.

I'm waiting for you in 4-2.

[whole ember]

Is there a general rule of what to make on site and what to transport in terms of parts I was thinking anything in an assembler should be transported??

[whole ermine]

are long pipelines able to do max throughput of 300?

[blazing lance]

i loved the early game of this game but now its become too hard for my brain

[warped whale]

Mk 1 pipes, yes

[warped whale]

That's all personal preference. I typically do them on site where most the materials are.

[worn oar]

Pipeline length does not matter, except that it takes longer to initially get to its destination

However, head lift is annoying and that's why I bring the machines to the fluid instead of the other way around

[worn oar]

It's ok to feel like you're stupid. That doesn't mean you are. You are solving problems and learning things you don't know. Break things down to smaller steps

[green ermine]

Who is the masochist that created spiders and put a giant one with two other 🌲 medium spiders in a tight space??? Seriously, wtf

[worn oar]

You are trying to optimize the fun out of the game. Please don't do that. This is not like a streamer game, where people like to wait for talking heads to tell them what to do to "win." It is an experience game, where most of the fun is had by playing and following what the game tells you, or doing something else like exploration

[green ermine]

I really, really hate those spiders

[unique hazel]

but i wna get every item automated

[unique hazel]

arachnaphobia mode is such a w addition

and also have every item optomised

[green ermine]

With arachnophobia they stop jumping and running and making your life hell? 🥲

[unique hazel]

yeah the whole point i play this game for fun not to shit my pants bec ofa spidewr

[earnest condor]

Once you've killed one for the MAM unlock you can honestly just turn Stingers off entirely and live in peace.

[green ermine]

Last time I tried it they became cat sprites with creepy meows but same behavior. It felt even scarier

[unique hazel]

they havent jumped at me and idc abt them cats so its easy peasy

[green ermine]

Anyway, explosive rebar is such a letdown. They explode, yes, but the damage is not that good

[earnest condor]

Um... accurate Nobelisk that stacks to 100 instead of stacking to 50 is incredible.

Letdown for combat? Sure.
Amazing for what Nobelisks are used for and even better than the Nobs? Yes.

[winged root]

Copper powder is a yikes

[green ermine]

Way more expensive to produce than nobelisks? Absolutely

What's the best damage around? (No, not that bomb)

[earnest condor]

Define expense in a game with infinite resources?

[leaden turret]

time

[winged root]

A cost to sanity

[leaden turret]

[you don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps efficiency]

[warped whale]

You're a satisfactory player. Time is meaningless

If you valued time, you wouldn't be here

[green ermine]

Oil and a refinery, 4 hits to produce vs 1, or a manufacturer vs an assembler

[earnest condor]

So... space?

[undone yarrow]

Opportunity cost

[earnest condor]

Or are you saying "I personally chose to arbitrarily place a high value on oil. Making anything coming from it expensive."?

[fluid sapphire]

Anyway what's your favorite item

[winged root]

Cup

[green ermine]

Isn't that how the world works? 😆

Anyway, just disappointed that it shows 4 points of damage vs two of the regular, but it's not twice as effective

[earnest condor]

The world? This is a video game.

[fluid sapphire]

That was easy huh, and I can totally get behind this one

[winged root]

Vehicle would be slightly more competitive

[undone yarrow]

Homing ammo

[south sinew]

blade runners

[green ermine]

Ladders

[worn oar]

Plutonium waste

It's complicated and irritating and it gets everywhere

[winged root]

I suffer, who made this exchange rate 300:50 for copper powder whyy

[undone yarrow]

To encourage you to suffer Pure Copper Ingot

[worn oar]

You need 200/minute for one nuclear pasta :D

[winged root]

100

I guess yeah your right

As it’s in .5’s

Im setting up 6 copper powder factories with normal nodes (1200 can’t be used as I dont have mk6) and need 600

[worn oar]

Make 30 pasta/minute

[winged root]

When I experience darker days

[worn oar]

Lol

[fluid sapphire]

Good answers honestly

We got a bunch of cool af items huh

[winged root]

Funnest thing in game for me has to be the canons

I wounder how hard it is to make a racing course based on them

[fluid sapphire]

I found them fun at the start but they kinda lost their luster after some time

Don't really use them anymore, just hop on trains

[winged root]

Fair I have an airport at main, then just train back

Or I drone surf

If you fall off drones you retain momentum, with some good fuel in the jetpack you can get almost anywhere

[green ermine]

The legends of endgame content excite my imagination

One day, I'm sure

[mortal ginkgo]

Big dawg be dream'in about E X P A N S I O N

Big dawg got big dreams.

Gold forged plans.

[safe heron]

can you eat the Landing Pad Jelly?

[mortal ginkgo]

Yes.

[safe heron]

like is it edible?

[mortal ginkgo]

Yes.

[fluid sapphire]

It's about as edible as the liquid in the sample tubes is drinkable on the space rig

[green ermine]

If you eat it, you become an alien creature. Now you know what happened to the crash site survivors

[crisp crane]

Hey folks, I’ve never played experimental, if I start a file there will it be playable when that version goes “live”?

[green ermine]

What are the names of your lizard doggos?

[unique vortex]

I just made my first oil refinery plant to make rubber, with the petroleum coke should I save it or can I burn it in coal fuel generators

[robust wigeon]

Beans contain trace amounts of landing pad jelly, guess we’ll never know why 🤷

[robust wigeon]

Lizard doggo #1, Lizard doggo #2, Lizard doggo #4

[robust wigeon]

Yeah

It will, but be aware since it’s experimental any changes made before it goes live might mess with your save

[safe heron]

btw even cars are getting better now. When are they gonna make Launch Pads useful?

[green ermine]

Launch Pads could get extra force by using some slugs

And they could be adjustable after building (and flood lights too)

[safe heron]

just give em extra power by having more power in your network.

[green ermine]

1GW launch pad

[safe heron]

true that'd be awesome

[safe heron]

Ignore LGIO's Hypertube Cannon. Take a look at my 5 TW Launch Pad!

[winged root]

Ok found my way out 1 triple copper factory with 6 sloops gives me enough copper for my pastaaaaa yeaahhhhhhh

[green ermine]

I'd make whole generator clusters for one launch pad

[elder cedar]

any tips for the aluminum byproduct water?

i got it feeding into its self but its overflowing sometimes

[safe heron]

wait, Satisfactory Experimental on Epic Games Launcher is still stuck at Update 8?

[fluid sapphire]

If you search "aluminum water", you will probably find a lot of material. There is always the caveman solution of using it for pure ingots or concrete too

Particularly on #1038092680493801533 there are a lot of posts about aluminum

[elder cedar]

ty bro, just finished the 180 heat sinks per min i need for that setup you sent

[safe sand]

the Wet Concrete recipe is good for taking care of excess water. I usually feed it back into the main aluminum process and set up overflow to go to a wet concrete refinery, which sinks/uploads to DD

[fluid sapphire]

Yeah that manual contains a lot of the stuff that's shared on those posts

[safe sand]

yarp. there are some real gems collected in there

[leaden turret]

please don't link to the abandoned trashfire, the manual is linked in #math-and-meta

[safe sand]

Kay. Here's the link then: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/images/Pipeline_Manual.pdf

[primal obsidian]

is 283 GW enough

[safe sand]

doing turbofuel + nuke?

[quick hound]

Just drink the water, duh.

[spring remnant]

I've seen videos where railways automatically clip together. Does this work for blueprints that contain rails?

[green ermine]

You need more for the Launch Pad

[primal obsidian]

whats the launch pad

space elevator?

[green ermine]

Scroll up a bit, we just talked about it

[primal obsidian]

oh that thing i used one time and never again

[primal obsidian]

240 GW nuclear ficsonium + plutonium +uraniium

[hard wolf]

yes. if you set up a dual rail bp you can use auto connect to loop it around the map fairly quickly, though I would suggest a tall, short, and maybe mid height version

[safe sand]

dang. how long did the build take?

[primal obsidian]

idk i forgot i havent played in a while

[worn oar]

Hmm no I think you need at least 9 TW then maybe...

[spring remnant]

Maybe I did something wrong then. It doesn't want to auto connect. I should definitely make different height variants though thanks for that

[unique hazel]

guys i’ve played this game for 12 hours and ive only unlocked basic steel and coal 😭😭

how many hours is game play does this game have to 100% it

like get all achievements automate every single item

[wraith depot]

200hrs

[mortal ginkgo]

Are you trying to show off?

If so, it is working.

[unique hazel]

no i’m saying this game is long

[unique hazel]

wait that’s good ?!

[unkempt blade]

your first time? depends how quick you pick it up

[unique hazel]

really that little i though it was longer

[mortal ginkgo]

My brotherman, I am in 900 hours and thanks to decoration I recently started Phase 3.

People finish it like 10 times in that timeframe.

[unique hazel]

yes first time ever playing the game

[wraith depot]

It's good if you are automating without rushing

[unkempt blade]

My 1.0 save was around 200 hours. I think I could go faster than that if I just did achievements but I'd call that the floor for you

[unique hazel]

dam but i haven’t finished the second lift quest im like 1% of the way done

i’ve literally just unlocked the steel and coal haven’t done anything with it yet

[hard wolf]

sometimes it's fiddly enough that the blueprint has to be in a very specific spot to link up, but it works well most of the time

[wraith depot]

Oh i thought you were done with coal and steel

[unique hazel]

nooo just unlocked it and went off because the sound of crafting that hammering sound made me go insane

[wraith depot]

I spent like 30 hrs exploring in my first playthrough looking for mercer spheres and sloops

[wraith depot]

Should have waited for the jetpack first

[unkempt blade]

or like the average player spends at least 100 hours on just a factory cart skatepark so there's lots of things that can eat up playtime

[spring remnant]

Maybe my blueprint is just bad then

[unkempt blade]

yeah but you're amazing and talented and I believe in you being able to figure BPs out

[hard wolf]

the junctions are mostly just templates bc they don't properly fit in a mk2 blueprinter (usually the play is 3x3 for the tighter turns and a block of space in the middle, but it could fit in a mk3 if that curve can be reduced to 2.5x2.5), but if your bp looks like either of those first two it's probably good #screenshots message

[austere marlin]

Hey guys, I know it exists but I don't remember the way to get back your collectibles from an old save to a new one, anyone knows ?

[lapis knot]

Got a quick question for the train experts here! Is it common that trains will enter a junction at the exact same time neither one going first? I've noticed it's happened a couple of times on my world but changing some signals around seemed to fix it, was just wondering though 😄

[safe sand]

Are you using block signals? If so one should reserve the block on entering it

[lapis knot]

I'm using paths on entrances and blocks on exits

[violet glen]

like, do they crash?

Two trains in a junction is literally what path signals are for

[lapis knot]

No they just both stop and don't go it's only happened like 2x though and it's like a 500hour save atm so it's not like all the time just occasionally happens xd

But when it does happen like the entire train network gets clogged up and all the other trains stop xD

[violet glen]

Hm, definitely a bug of some kind, if they just deadlock

Maybe it happens if two trains ask for a path at the exact same tick?

Will be hard to reproduce

[lapis knot]

Maybe, just thought it was interesting xd

[tall lantern]

reserving a path also requires the block after the path to be free

so if you haven't signaled anything beyond that junction, then they might indeed be waiting for each other

[winged root]

Does rocket fuel run into the same fluid problems as regular fuel requiring an entrance on both start and end of the pipe

[violet glen]

it's not a fluid

[tall lantern]

gas is a fluid

[polar leaf]

gas doesnt need height management

[lapis knot]

It just flows up the pipe iirc without pumps or anything

[tall lantern]

it's just not a liquid

[winged root]

Yes but it runs into the same end gem starvation issue that fluids do

Gen

[tall lantern]

flow rate buggery happens for all fluids, yes

it's to do with how much you're moving, not what specifically it is

[polar leaf]

Didnt the devs say that its just a skill issue

[tall lantern]

it's always solvable, yes

[polar leaf]

lol

[violet glen]

My rocket fuel plant has worked without a hitch at least, without doing anything beyond a basic manifold

[winged root]

Right and here I even under built generators, guess I’ll do the to entries on both sides

[polar leaf]

I managed to solve it, but its kinda funky

[lapis knot]

I always assumed gas needed pumps because irl they need pressure or something idk if Satisfactory works the same xd

[violet glen]

It's definitely more tame than liquids

[winged root]

It’s always the last 3 gens

[polar leaf]

what I do is bring the fluid from above and before the line of generators I place a industrial tank

it works pretty well

as long as enough fuel is entering the system

[tall lantern]

out of interest, if you hold out a signal so you see the track colours, are the in and out rails on one side of the junction the same? and ditto the other? so you only have 3 colours

[lapis knot]

They're all different colours xd

[hard wolf]

gas in this situation is gas like oxygen, not gas like gasoline. it expands to fill the space and doesn't need a pump to move

[tall lantern]

there's probably something else at play with your signals then, but more troubleshooting'd need a #1038092680493801533 thread (and someone who's not falling asleep)

[violet glen]

in theory and reality it does eventually need a pump as well, since it also has weight

But as far as the game is concerned, it has no weight

[lapis knot]

I think it's fine for now, like I said it rarly happens and everything else seems to work fine signal wise but I'll post again about it if it happens again xd

[unkempt blade]

did you mimic pulling the horn and yell "choo choo!" a lot of people forget that part of the process

[tall lantern]

just to doublcheck, you say "all", how many different colours? 2, 3, 4, 5?

or more, since junction's probably got more than that

[lapis knot]

Yeah!

I also love the old train whistle that comes up sometimes 😄

[safe sand]

Is there a good guide for signals out there? Anyone know any good resources?

[polar leaf]

I haven't played for almost a year now. How does the node random work?

Can I spawn next to a pure uranium node but there is a chance that there is 1 single iron node on the map and its impure on top of a mountain?

[tall lantern]

no it's more of a shuffle

also #satisfactory-experimental is thataway

[safe sand]

I like the randomizer a lot.

[shrewd palm]

tldr: signals break the track up into "blocks" easily seen by different colours on the track when you're placing signals. only one train can occupy a block at one time

block signals break the track up into blocks, and should be placed every 8-12 or so foundations along the track, at the exits of intersections, and at the start and end of every train station (this is so that when you have a train loading/unloading it doesnt interfere with the rest of the network)

path signals are a little more complicated but still fairly simple: they make it so that multiple trains can occupy the same block so long as their paths dont intersect. these pretty much only go at the start of any intersection

also if you get any errors like "signal loops into itself" the easiest way to fix that is just to rebuild the surrounding segment of track and all the signals attached to it

[floral sparrow]

What amount of concrete per minute do you folks generally like to keep fed into dimensional depots? Just maxed all of my depot upgrades and I'm at the end of tier 5

[violet glen]

I set up 2400 at one point and never had to care again

likely insane overkill :D

[shrewd palm]

im running ~100 and its complete overkill 90% of the time but not enough that last 10%

[violet glen]

one depot upoader was not enough at least

so I built 10

[floral sparrow]

Damn

[shrewd palm]

honestly the amount doesnt mjatter as much as your storage capacity

i completely ran out of concrete on a fairly timid build

[violet glen]

well, you still need to feed it into the depot

it only stores max 5 stacks

[shrewd palm]

no like my containers were out and everything

[mint cradle]

Yall wanna see my first plastic rubber and coal plant build

[floral sparrow]

I'm thinking of trying to build roads for the first time to avoid belt hell but it seems like the concrete demand is going to pile up real fast

[polar leaf]

Yes

[shrewd palm]

as far as concrete demand goes roads are fairly chill

[floral sparrow]

How easy is it to be 100% efficient with trucks between input rate and output rate?

Haven't used them properly yet

[earnest condor]

Very. Especially if on 1.2

Fun fact: trucks can do more throughput per platform than trains. 😁

[mint cradle]

Now I wonder what to do next

[weary gate]

What swatch gives that concrete look

[dense oar]

Do riding the flying thing constitutes as not being on the ground

[green ermine]

Does anyone know if the signal and train works similar to Transport Tycoon? If so, that's a good place to practice the concepts

[earnest condor]

Satisfactory Signals are specific to Satis.

I can give you the full text on how they work if you want it.

[weary gate]

I’ve tried lots but none seem to give that look I’ve seen in videos

[shrewd palm]

wdym concrete look

[earnest condor]

Go to the Shop and unlock Concrete Foundation.

[shrewd palm]

^^

[weary gate]

Ive tried that but it only paints a tiny square

[hearty solar]

It’s also cheaper, isn’t it?

[earnest condor]

"Cost" is an odd convention in a game with infinite resources.

It doesn't require Iron Plates, but requires more Concrete.

[hearty solar]

In the build menu, next to foundations, there’s a box and you can select concrete foundation to automatically place concrete

[earnest condor]

Define "tiny"?

Because Foundation tops are 8mx8m

[weary gate]

It paints a tiny square inside surrounded by metal outline

[hearty solar]

Mb, I suppose I always have more concrete than plates, that’s why I consider concrete “cheaper”

[earnest condor]

Going to need screenshots.

[dense oar]

Do riding the big flying ray thing constitutes as not being on the ground?

[earnest condor]

Why?

[bitter lodge]

No.

[dense oar]

Achievements

[bitter lodge]

Node spots don't change.
what type and rarity do.

[earnest condor]

There's a "don't be on the ground" achievement?

[dense oar]

“Floor is lava” avoid touching the ground for 30 minutes

[bitter lodge]

zipline back and forth :)

[earnest condor]

I believe that is cumulative total, and involves your feet not touching anything.
So the manta ray would count as "the ground" in that context.

[violet glen]

I read somewhere that even standing on a machine counts

[dense oar]

Bruh

[violet glen]

Though given it was one of the last achievements I got in over 400 hours of Satisfactory, I'm not so sure

[hard wolf]

floor is lava is really easy with the hoverpack

[bitter lodge]

that is gonna be my next world, and achievement hunting one

[mint cradle]

I feel like the next logical step is to get oil power

[hollow mountain]

guys if i use recipe that allow me to recycle empty canister is there a way to calculate how much i need?

[earnest condor]

Huh?

[hollow mountain]

nvm ill figure it out

[white dawn]

If you have a nice tight closed loop going from machine to machine, you can usually get away with relatively few. Like in a 1:1:1 Packaged Diluted Fuel loop, 20-30 will generally suffice

If you're doing a long-distance packaging loop (like with vehicles/train/drone) them you need about 3x the amount required to last for the whole round-trip of the route

(1 for packaging, 1 for unpacking, and 1 for enroute)

[worn oar]

No need to calculate if the system is a loop. Run the system with a constructor making packaging and place a storage container between the empty packaging constructor and the packager. When the buffer container starts to fill, you have reached saturation. Delete the constructor, reconnect belts, and you're done

[mint cradle]

Ok so I’m just about to unlock petroleum power imma do that then start encased beam making

What the helll is going on…

Adas talking to someone that’s not me

[white dawn]

mysteries abound!

[winged root]

ADA dumped us for the 18th dimensional bf

Kicked us out the group chat as well

[mint cradle]

gonna finish off tiers 3 and 4 and start producing oil power

[lapis knot]

The guy she tells you not to worry about

[mint cradle]

When should I use power augmentation

[ivory river]

The world is modded but its brand new and if you dont know how to get mods working ill show you!!! just be nice and make things look nice dm me if u wanna play

[dense violet]

Eh, I never do. It’s just duping power

[dense violet]

[jovial beacon]

Quick question for any modding pioneers

I use the “smart!” Mod and placed a 5 high stackable conveyer pole, and ran it across 25 units and now my fps is 5…

Any guesses to how long it’ll be before it stabilizes 😭

[thick cave]

Do I need to automate computers

[robust brook]

Yo wait I’m so confused how does this server have more people than the subnatica one

[robust brook]

Yes

[thick cave]

Yes

[thick cave]

Aw man

[abstract heron]

Yes even if its a basic setup going into a depo

[jovial beacon]

Without a doubt yes😭

[abstract heron]

even maing 1 per minute is still making minus if nothing making

[thick cave]

Alright I guess I'll do it, how many should I do per minute

[abstract heron]

also yay my hrs 19,440 hrs on record

[robust brook]

I thought this game was way less popular than subnatica but holy wrong

[abstract heron]

i always do what is closer resources and how many u want to make

i always do 1 system per machine when i start

[jovial beacon]

I’m doing 15 a minute right now and I’m contemplating doing a larger scale to push 60…

[thick cave]

Well I have trains

[jovial beacon]

Oh yeah no reason to not go large scale then

[robust brook]

Thought ur pfp was xi jinping for a second 😭😭

[thick cave]

Lmao

[jovial beacon]

Computers are like the backbones of other things so it’s nice to have a abundant amount crafting per minute

[abstract heron]

i meant like a factory

also are my hrs good or bad 19,440 hrs on record THESE ARE TOTAL

[jovial beacon]

I thought my 300 was a lot😭

[thick cave]

Well first I need to
A) see what materials it needs
And
B) see if I actually have that product
And
C) reroute my train line to accommodate computers

[abstract heron]

i have 5,602hr in my current world

[jovial beacon]

Mostly invest in refineries for plastic with byproducts you can reuse for more plastic and I personally use caterium alt recipes to craft the abundance of cables needed

And I mean the circuit board is pretty easy with all the necessary stuff typically clustered together

[thick cave]

Well the nice thing is I already have plastic production connected via train

[robust brook]

Yo wtf

[thick cave]

You might have a problem

[robust brook]

Isn’t there 8500 hours in a year

[abstract heron]

i want 20k hrs TOTAL and be like to mikael and jason Good game 😛

[robust brook]

You spent 2.5 years straight on this game

[cursive topaz]

i log into discord and whats the first thing i see, someone playing satisfactory for 2 WHOLE YEARS

[abstract heron]

since u3 2020 steam release

[robust brook]

https://tenor.com/view/jimmy-butler-jimmy-butler-paper-confused-gif-14478007832172093541

[robust brook]

Wait

[abstract heron]

Dis is when i got the game so i am a vetern i am currently making 100 nuclear pasta per minute BY hand no overclocking

And i only take off summer due to heat IRL HEAT

[robust brook]

That means you spent

41% of your time

In the last 6 years

Playing satasfactory

That’s genuinely not possible

[abstract spade]

afk

[robust brook]

With sleeping and work

Although ig weekend

[abstract spade]

theyre not active theyre just afk

and leave it on during sleep work etc

[robust brook]

That’s like the maximum possible time to be playing the game

[abstract heron]

no i play the game

[abstract spade]

ur just lying

[robust brook]

Still crazy

[abstract heron]

i am afk atm due to talking to u peeps

[robust brook]

Ran the game for 2.5 years still

[abstract spade]

yeah but i guarantee no one ever has actively spent 12 hours a day for 5 years

on satisfactory

[abstract heron]

I remember running the game on 1660ti before i ran on 5080 ti

[robust brook]

Like 9

But yeah

[abstract spade]

half of 5 years is 2.5

[robust brook]

2026

[abstract heron]

i still remember mk3 pipes only thing and foundations ATE your PC like Nothing

[abstract spade]

so like 10 or 11 whatever u get the idea

[abstract heron]

and before we had zoop

[robust brook]

Back in my day ahh

[abstract spade]

yeah i remember when the devs were born i was there ❤️

[robust brook]

Me when I import satasfactory into goat sim

[abstract heron]

i think i had the thing for light weight actors in 1.0 after my big tower in one of my worlds

[inner cipher]

So i just came back to this game after a few years

What is even happening

Tf is efficiency

[robust brook]

Uh just talking to this guy that has ~19k hrs in the game

According to them

[abstract heron]

19,440hr

[robust brook]

Hell man

[abstract heron]

biggest MODDED world 6,800hr save

[robust brook]

You getting paid to play

[abstract heron]

uh no why

[robust brook]

Are you like a bugtester or smth

I mean man

[abstract heron]

i anit working for Coffee stain studios

[robust brook]

Even if only 1/5 of that is non afk

That’s like

[abstract heron]

i DO NOT afk only for little reasons

[robust brook]

So much time

[abstract spade]

u afk bro

just admit it

[abstract heron]

like EATING AND such

[abstract spade]

you would never be out of your room never have school or work etc

its unrealistic

[abstract heron]

@latent prawn Show your hrs 😛

[robust brook]

Yeah prob 1/2 that at max

[abstract spade]

anyone with over 10k has afkd a good portion of it

[robust brook]

Yeah

[abstract heron]

i DO NOT big AFK

[latent prawn]

check experimental

[abstract heron]

i saw but i don't AFK 😛

[robust brook]

?

[abstract heron]

#satisfactory-experimental

[abstract spade]

he literally said hes afk most of the day

and comes back for an hour or two

[abstract heron]

i play ALL day

[abstract spade]

this has gotta be bait

[latent prawn]

the steam count isn't very indicative of anything... the timer there will increase if you sit at the game's menu screen

[abstract heron]

why yyall disliking afk it sometimes helps with things being made and things running

[abstract spade]

yeah thats what being afk is

[abstract spade]

were not disliking it youre claiming you never do it outside of like five minute tasks

which is a lie

[robust brook]

I don’t care tbh playing an hour a day everyday is still crazy

[abstract heron]

There is one dude with 41,074hrs in the game

[placid stirrup]

What's gotta be bait is your username

[abstract heron]

in Satisfactory

[latent prawn]

it isn't really something to brag about

[abstract spade]

and i guarantee the majority of that is not played

[abstract heron]

being afk i don't mind it but ya

[abstract spade]

random chud

[jovial beacon]

It’s 40/m for 2.5 computers a minute, so if you wanna match 25/m you’d need 400 plastic, and 500 cables a minute, no idea on circuit boards I can’t remember them

[robust brook]

Yeh but that’s literally impossible non afk

[placid stirrup]

Nice

[thick cave]

Luckily I make 80 plastic per minute

[placid stirrup]

This server has gotten so much more toxic over the past couple years

[abstract heron]

and about total hrs about afks

[placid stirrup]

Makes me sad

[thick cave]

Also what should I do with 400 quick wire per minute

[abstract spade]

dawg ur first message rn was calling my user bait dont act all innocent 😭

[abstract heron]

ai limters or high speed connectors or sink it

[jovial beacon]

I mean if you’re unemployed working 16 hours a day everyday it’d be 480 hours a month, 5840 hours a year and the game released late 2024 so that’s around 19 months to work with , so 9120 is the max time accounting for sleep

[placid stirrup]

I was just saying it was crazy, there was no need to verbally insult me over that

[jovial beacon]

But that’s only considering 1.0

[abstract heron]

i had to restart my world due to 1.0 and 2 i took a break in 2024 due to 1.0

[thick cave]

Ok

[abstract spade]

saying it bait is different than calling it crazy i js called u a chud bro

[jovial beacon]

I think my fps finally stabilized I’ve been wanting to finish this heavy modular frame factory😭

[placid stirrup]

Calling it bait is a nonsensical thing, like what would it be bait over?

[jovial beacon]

Literally what could be bait about your user?

I don’t even understand what it would mean or entail

[thick cave]

Also what should I do with 2 industrial tanks of heavy residue

[abstract heron]

make fuel

then burn for MW

[thick cave]

I have three refineries dedicated to that and it's still not decreasing

[abstract heron]

make more then

its all about balance and working on

[thick cave]

I also have a full tank of fuel

[abstract heron]

Burn it for power

[thick cave]

I have 5 fuel gens on 3 power shards

[meager fern]

have more fuel gens

[thick cave]

I'll guess I'll double them

[jovial beacon]

Are you matching your refineries to your heavy oil residue output ?

[thick cave]

I think

I just add more until something happens

[brittle finch]

That is not how you do it bro😭

[thick cave]

And I can't fit anymore cuz of my train station

[thick cave]

I don't know exactly how much I produce with 8 refiners half doing plastic and the other half rubber

[abstract heron]

then games is all about math per minute and if does not work ADD more or add less and try it

[thick cave]

That's why I said I'll double it

[abstract heron]

and then test it to see if its correct

[thick cave]

I will

I just need more shards

[abstract heron]

don't overclock it early game

use power shards to more out with miners and extactors

[thick cave]

It increases my power production so much tho

But alr

[abstract heron]

its like i did spire coast which has 3450 oil in it to 9200 fuel with blenders that COULD do 460 normally fuel gens

460 fuel gens = to 115000MW

[abstract heron]

u will always scale in the game always

[thick cave]

Welp I have a problem

I need 4 refineries for maximum heavy oil use but I can only fit 3

[narrow canyon]

Clock them?

[robust wigeon]

Overclocking power production only makes sense when you’re overclocking the miners/oil extractors, otherwise you’re just using shards to avoid placing more buildings but you aren’t getting anything out of them - generators take more resources to produce more power when overclocked

[thick cave]

Idk by how much I need to tho

[narrow canyon]

4 = 2 @ 200%.. math not hard

[robust wigeon]

If you place a fuel generator that requires, say, 30 fuel per minute, overclocking it to 200% will make it take 60 per minute to produce twice as much power

A lot of people think it just makes it produce 2x power without taking more fuel

Idk why

That’s what sloops do

[latent prawn]

the power per fuel unit remains constant.

[robust wigeon]

Yeah unless you sloop the fuel production system or add a power augmenter I guess

But with shards alone that is true

[latent prawn]

oc'ing power production always makes sense. it doesn't cost anything and reduces footprint

[robust wigeon]

It reduces the number of buildings you place

If you don’t have a good supply of shards, it’s not always worth it, especially at scale

[latent prawn]

used to be a whole lot more of a thing to do because fuel generators were hella pricey

[robust wigeon]

I never have enough shards to make it worth doing tbh, not until synthetic shards are up

[robust wigeon]

ah, yeah, now they kinda aren’t tbh

The limiting factor on how fast I can place them is always my quartz crystal and iron plate uploading, sometimes rubber can be a factor too, but anyway it’s because of the blueprints I use for them rather than the generators themselves

I guess they cost quickwire but once again never a problem

[latent prawn]

you can always double up the depots for items you use lots of

[robust wigeon]

I dunno what they used to cost though

[robust wigeon]

Yep, I do, I just outpace my five or six maxed uploaders anyway lol

[narrow canyon]

Main reason to have multiple uploaders going per part

[latent prawn]

rubber, hmf's, computers to start with

[thick cave]

Welp I did the math I can support 10 fuel gens so that's what I'm gonna do

[robust wigeon]

#screenshots message

[latent prawn]

drops to 4 generators if you oc them to 250

[robust wigeon]

1080 gens

[thick cave]

Might also double my batteries

[robust wigeon]

Ohhhh right remembering now

[thick cave]

Nah I'll play it safe

[robust wigeon]

Whatever’s convenient 🤷

[latent prawn]

10 generators isn't bad

[robust wigeon]

@latent prawn this is what really killed my uploading speed

Outpaced it massively

[thick cave]

Also what mam research do I need to focus on for environmental protection

[robust wigeon]

Nukes

In all seriousness I recommend just adding mods that do that

[thick cave]

I meant the hazmat suit and gas mask smh

[robust wigeon]

Ohhhh

[thick cave]

Idk how to mod

[robust wigeon]

I thought you meant preservation

Nvm yeah mycelia

Hazmat is hub/space elevator

MAM Mycelia is gas mask

Caterium unlocks the zipline which can be really useful to get through toxic places quickly before jetpack

[jovial beacon]

read the output of your machines and match the necesary input so you dont have overflow ....

[robust wigeon]

But sounds like you have jetpack

[thick cave]

I did the math and it checks out

[robust wigeon]

This is key

[thick cave]

I do

Speaking of which I should really make turbofuel

[robust wigeon]

I do recommend as a backup that you have a smart splitter on every oil product that sends overflow to an AWESOME Sink

Since if one backs up it can trigger cascading failures

[jovial beacon]

Also not entirely necessary it isn’t unwise to use priority switches on less important production lines that way your power grid is always up and operational

[thick cave]

I have a system that basically goes
Product -> storage tower -> train -> secondary storage tower -> smart splitter -> main storage

Welp my entire grid just decided to shit itself for no reason

[jovial beacon]

I just have trains dropping off everything at a buffer station that sorts it to industrial storages and splits it with dimensional depot and all overflow once storage is full goes to a sink😭

[thick cave]

I only have dimensional depots for two things

Concrete
And
Explosives

[jovial beacon]

I have it for like every single building material

[thick cave]

Tbf I don't have alot of merser spheres at my disposal

[jovial beacon]

I picked up loads as I was setting up my railway system

[thick cave]

I didn't find much on mine but then again it went through radiation, the toxic death clouds, the flowers of death and the radiation monster

[jovial beacon]

Mine covers like 1/3 of the map🥲

[thick cave]

Be honest how many cluster nobelsiks did you make

[jovial beacon]

None because my rails are raised by pillars and I spammed blueprints

[thick cave]

Mine are just

Floating

[latent prawn]

they are quite abundant on the map, there's about 300 of them to gather and you really don't need that many

[thick cave]

Ik but solid biofuel sucks for the jetpack ngl

[latent prawn]

correct it does. you should make liquid biofuel for it

[thick cave]

I was gonna skip that altogether and go for turbofuel

[latent prawn]

tf isn't very good in the jetpack. it burns too quick

[thick cave]

Isn't it the best fuel for ot

[jovial beacon]

No

[latent prawn]

there's a couple of vids of people doing comparisons of the jetpack fuel types. worth watching.

[jovial beacon]

Turbo fuel gives negligible returns for jet pack

Great for fuel gens tho

[thick cave]

Also how do I get the liquid biofuel into the jetpack? Do I package it

[latent prawn]

the 'good' fuels for the jetpack are lbf and ion fuel

[jovial beacon]

Esp if you use a combination of alt recipes, you can achieve a impressive power grid with turbo fuel alone

[latent prawn]

yep, use a packager

[thick cave]

Alr

I'll just make a small lil liquid biofuel production area

As I'll try to aim for the power jetpack
Whatever that's called

[jovial beacon]

Whole other milestone for overpack

[latent prawn]

incidental little fun fact: when you package lbf, it'll burn for as much power in bioburners as it does in the fuel generators unpackaged

[thick cave]

Welp best get to crafting

[jovial beacon]

I’ve been stalling that milestone for awhile now

I fear my passion will burn out once I finally get around to it

[thick cave]

Speaking of milestones is it bad that I manually add stuff to the crafters instead of making the production area for the space elevator

[jovial beacon]

So,…. You’re manually crafting elevator parts? Or manually feeding the parts into the elevator ?

[thick cave]

Parts needed to craft whatever needs to be crafted into 1 assembler which then goes to it

[jovial beacon]

I uh, I find this to be a interesting choice to say the least

[hard wolf]

it's a huge upgrade for building

[thick cave]

Also do you think I have a storage problem
#screenshots message

[jovial beacon]

A far more ambitions storage system than I have

[latent prawn]

you must be planning on building a lot of awesome shops

[jovial beacon]

I’ve placed a single industrial storage for each major part , and sink the rest of the overflow

All fed by a manifold system of smart splitters to organize it

[thick cave]

Oh no that's just for the following items:
Iron plates
Iron rods
Reinforced iron plates
Plastic
Rubber
Modular frames
Rotors
Motors
Steel beams
Steel pipes

[latent prawn]

protip: you don't even need a crate of screws

[jovial beacon]

Though I fear my belts may not have the necessary throughout to match the items my trains are bringing in

[jovial beacon]

No stators or encased steel beams?

[latent prawn]

up until 1.2, stators aren't used in building

[thick cave]

I have stators but there used for the motors so I would go to the motor factory to grab em if I need them and encased beams are in a separate storage

[latent prawn]

in 1.2 either the fluid truck or fluid station requires stators, but they were removed as a building supply in 1.0

[thick cave]

I haven't needed to move liquids but when I do I'll most likely use trains

[latent prawn]

gotta say, i'm liking the fluid trucks

i started in north forest and i've always found getting water to limestone for wet concrete a challenge in that region. the fluid trucks fill that hole pretty well

getting trains up the elevations can be kinda icky to do

[thick cave]

I just use ramp 2m

[latent prawn]

i never end up being happy with how it all turns out

[thick cave]

Also I might be a villain

[fair aspen]

Hello

[thick cave]

Hi

[fair aspen]

Having a good start to the day?

[thick cave]

Ye

Also I'm convinced my grid is cursed

[fair aspen]

AHAHAH gg

[thick cave]

No like I was building my liquid biofuel setup and my fuze popped but I didn't know why

[fair aspen]

Maby not conect?

[thick cave]

And now I'm rebuilding my batteries by my coal plant

[thick cave]

They are

[fair aspen]

oh no

I hade the same problom, and they wore not connect, so i was running all a round to find it, it took a long time lol

[thick cave]

Anyways I'm just working

[fair aspen]

Yea, i just came home, for a swin in the sea

[thick cave]

Nice

[fair aspen]

It was fkn cold

but nice

[thick cave]

Lol

Also liquid biofuel is so good for the jetpack

[fair aspen]

Yea its is, but i have so much jet fuel, so am just using that for now

[thick cave]

Speaking of jet fuel I'm trying to do turbofuel

[robust brook]

The thing above normal oil is the best (forgot what it was called)

[fair aspen]

Fuel?

[robust brook]

Duh

[fair aspen]

ahah sorry

[thick cave]

With liquid biofuel I can fly

[robust brook]

You can fly with just normal solid biofuel can’t you, doesn’t mean it’s the best

[thick cave]

Biofuel does not last as long as liquid biofuel does my guy

Also fuel is crazy expensive

[robust brook]

I know that that’s why I said you can do it but it’s not the best

[robust brook]

What type

[thick cave]

Regular (the nearest oil node to me is like, 1k km away but I do have a train line

[fair aspen]

1KM is nothing ahah

[robust brook]

I was literally overflowing with fuel idk what ur on about

[fair aspen]

same

[robust brook]

Like I had to have like 10 storage containers for packages fuel so it wouldn’t fill up my production line

[thick cave]

I have 2 refineries for fuel and the tank is empty

[robust brook]

I don’t remember all the ratios

But check how much oil per min

That node is

[thick cave]

240 but then again I use the residual fuel recipe for them as I need somewhere for the heavy residue to go

[robust brook]

I’m pretty sure it was either a 60 or 120 belt of crude oil could support like 12 refineries but idk

Haven’t played in a little while

[thick cave]

Well I did use some of it for plastic and rubber

[robust brook]

Been dysoning my sphere while I program

[thick cave]

Goddamit the calculator lied to me

[robust brook]

Knew it

[thick cave]

I can support more but I really don't wanna redo my rubber and plastic factory

As it would involve me moving my train station

[robust brook]

Just belt off the excess oil there and make a new one that feeds back into the loop

[thick cave]

Problem

I can't fit it anywhere

[robust brook]

Can’t run a belt along the wall or smth?

Might not look pretty but if it has to be done it has to be done

[thick cave]

Crude oil is in pipes

Plastic and rubber are on the belts

[robust brook]

Sorry Dyson sphere brain again

[thick cave]

And what I meant by can't fit is I can't fit more refineries

But I could go vertical

I just need iron plates

[robust brook]

But still can’t you just split the pipe and move some of the oil into a more open area

[robust brook]

Yeah

[thick cave]

As I specified I can't as my layout is very weird, there's the train station to the left, fuel gens to the south, and my hypertube highway to the right

[robust brook]

Ok

[thick cave]

So I'm going vertical

[robust brook]

Yeah vertical seems like the best option

[thick cave]

Also are the pellets needed in anything or can I just sink those

NVM they are however I already make plastic and rubber

So

Sink it is

[robust brook]

Yeah the resin has screwed me over a few times

Can’t believe I never thought to sink it the first few times

[cursive topaz]

i am realizing why concrete is a resource your cant get

i see now how much one needs it

[visual current]

When did you start playing satisfactory

[normal orbit]

plutonium pellets arent sinkable

[thick cave]

Recently

[visual current]

No i mean like

I forgor

[thick cave]

I'm taking about the plastic ones

[visual current]

Yummy

[normal orbit]

polymer resin?

[visual current]

How many hours u got

[thick cave]

Ye

[thick cave]

Only 85.4

[visual current]

What yall talkin about anyways

[thick cave]

Fuel production

[visual current]

col

Wanna play later

My factory scares me now

[thick cave]

Sure

[visual current]

Your world or mine

[thick cave]

I want you to see mine

[visual current]

aight

[visual current]

Goog

[cursive topaz]

cast screws are legendary

i cut out an entire micro factory of iron rods

granted i still have one for other things bt not just for screws

[night umbra]

how we doing today guys

[glacial totem]

I finally unlocked Oil Processing and travelled to the beach on the west coast. So pretty!

[night umbra]

steel screws are good for midgame too tbh but cast are the best

[reef basin]

Very much overrated

[night umbra]

ok then tell me whats the best method to get screws withouth rods

[reef basin]

I mean, if you ask me "what is best" and provide limitation that makes only one method possible...

But if you don't artificially limit yourself by not allowing making rods, it's a different story

[wraith widget]

do not ever play with the "fly mode" enabled its so good, i dont think i can ever play again without it 😳

it's like ****** *** ** ****

[night umbra]

gl adapting broski

just play one hour withouth it and maybe u will be happy again

[wraith widget]

i did it on my second playthough only, so dw im not too spoiled

dont tell anyone but i also enabled all alt recipes without needing drives 😶

[night umbra]

so u just wanna enjoy the game withtouth grinding all alt recipes and jet pack

[wraith widget]

yes, its not a first playthorugh to be clear here

[night umbra]

but in the first play thru what did u achieve

[wraith widget]

everything i think, except nuclear

[night umbra]

bruh nuclear is phase 3 and theres even phase 4

[wraith widget]

no i mean i finished without nuclear power, i just expanded my oil

[normal orbit]

could also make no screws :p

[wraith widget]

i got a headache after realizing how much work there was left after the uranium waste 💀

i said nah theres plenty of oil left

[white dawn]

Can always just store the waste. ISC blueprints are easy to spam down. :)

[blazing parcel]

I just don’t use screws at all.

[fiery root]

As good as ADAMS fav pioneer can be

[sour cargo]

can't tame the little blue birds, right?

[night umbra]

💀

[wraith widget]

is it normal to not enjoy factorio

it really wasnt doing anything for me

[night umbra]

YES

[karmic veldt]

I don't know why, but i cannot get Crespi Effect from the ost of the game out of my mind.

I was surprised at how immersive this ost can be, and I cannot get tired of hearing it, a simple progressive song that surprise with the discovery of its beautifull melody.

[sterile blade]

No, how dare you, you will receive a fine from Ficsit

[wraith widget]

Ringelmann Effect is my lifes anime ost

[wraith widget]

i am curious though cause i hear mostly praise for it, but it didnt work for me 🤷‍♂️ i did play far enough to get the drones, and i can see the vision there but wasnt up for it

[karmic veldt]

XD
That's also interresting
And also a nice ambient music, tough it didn't provoked any goosebumps first Time I heard it contrary to Crespi Effect

[ivory bluff]

Today, in "I didn't know I could do that in Satisfactory": you can salvage crash sites where you can find hard drives (including the hard drive container).

[night umbra]

do u think that ficsit is gonna add dimensionasl storage output ??

[next ivy]

no, but i hope they will

[karmic veldt]

It's a must do for me, else my unfocused me will be like "oh a new crash site ! I must retrieve the hard drive !" Even if I already took the drive

[normal orbit]

they never will

theres mods for it tho

[night umbra]

or any teleportation recource device

[robust brook]

Ts so real

Only factory/automation game I’ve ever not enjoyed

[ivory bluff]

I'm a serial pin/stamp user. I fear I'm going to reach the stamp limit quickly though... 250 is a bit low.

[sterile blade]

Did you unlock radar towers already? ^^

[robust brook]

Wayyyy to op

[ivory bluff]

Radar what now? 😅

I'm at phase 2 still

[robust brook]

That makes all other transportation useless

[sterile blade]

Imagine having stamps automatically placed over resource nodes~
If only we could

[night umbra]

guys i just did go to creative selected phase completed and looked at the awesome shop parts scrolled down and now i have mental issues

[karmic veldt]

I unlocked it while in last phase of the game but I wish I researched it sooner

[sterile blade]

Don't sleep on the MAM 😉
Bring it sacrifices for analisys

[robust brook]

Did I did yes have stroke reading this

[night umbra]

i look first thing i see neural quantum proccesor and im stuck with rotors please help im cooked

[karmic veldt]

I feel like I mostly used MAM to progress on the exploration part of the game more than of the gameplay part of it

[robust brook]

What phase is this

I forgot like all the names of stuff

[night umbra]

i tthink its phase 4

[thick cave]

Chat, do I have a storage problem
#screenshots message

[night umbra]

yep

[thick cave]

Bad thing is there already starting to fill up to the second row

[night umbra]

make five rows at least broski

[night umbra]

six or seven would make u enough space for a long time

[ivory bluff]

It's a different game. I had my fun with Factorio. The challenges you tackle are different from Satisfactory (if only because it's 2D instead of 3D). The biters can be either a slight annoyance or a factory-destroying force, depending on how you tackle me (or not tackle them). Finite ressources (at least at the beginning) are also an important part of the challenge, as you constantly need to create new outposts (though it depends on your map settings of course). And the space expansion adds a lot of new things to take into account and new challenges.
And, like in Satisfactory, you have different stages. Once you unlock blueprints and drones, the way you approach the game becomes massively different, as what could take hours now takes minutes if not seconds (depending on what you are building). It's kind of a mind-blowing sensation.

[next ivy]

outposts are a trap

[wraith widget]

the resource management from the limited nodes, was like playing an entirely different game

we went from conveyor belt game to spreadsheet so fast

[ivory bluff]

Alternate recipe found: Cheap Silica or Automated Miner... I feel just a tad underwhelmed.

At least Cheap Silica has some applications, I guess.

[wraith widget]

i've literally ranted in here that alt recipes are the worst part of the game

oh wow i can make x from y for no reason other than some obscure logistics, great

[ivory bluff]

Well, it's random, so it's really a gacha game apparently: it's entirely luck dependant if you get a good one or an outright useless one.

Automated Miner genuinely gave me pause: it's not like you need to craft hundred of those, manual crafting is fine.

[wraith widget]

nah my issue was with the oil and plastic/rubber stuff

[night umbra]

u talking about satisfactory or factorio

[wraith widget]

we are back into satisfactory

[night umbra]

bet

i wanna ask what oil issues

[wraith widget]

you need oil for plastic and rubber but its mostly a byproduct, but then theres alt recipes that basically say no oil is now just more plastic or more rubber

[ivory bluff]

My very first alternative recipe was between Biocoal and Steam Copper Sheet... Needless to say, pretty underwhelming.

[wraith widget]

its lame

[sterile blade]

You don't have other recipes to automate Portable miners ^^
It's still gonna save you time, unless you use it like... At the last Tier xD

[night umbra]

i have automated portable miners in like 50 assemblers pls dont ask why

[sterile blade]

... For what reason?

[night umbra]

never know when u use them,

always be ready

[wraith widget]

also i didnt wanna say anything, but portable miners are indeed better than whatever handcraftingboy was doing

silly guy

[ivory bluff]

Meh. Should I just reroll the Cheap Silica or Automated Miner and hope for better?

[night umbra]

hell yeah

[sterile blade]

Up to you, really 🤷‍♂️
You know what you like/dislike more and what your current pool of aviable recipe is

Eventually, you can ||have them all|| anyway

[ivory bluff]

(Also apparently I really need to mine some quartz - just realized there is a freakin' vehicule to unlock...).

[sterile blade]

(And not just vehicles 😉)

[ivory bluff]

Ya ya. I'll work on it.

[sterile blade]

Dang, no "radar" emoji...

[ivory bluff]

I did find an alien ressource node deep in a crevasse too (E.M.E - whatever it's called in english). Guess it's time to gather some too.

But yeah, I have completely neglected Sulfur, E.M.E and Quartz. Time to try to change that.

... OK, now this might actually be interesting.

[normal orbit]

SAM in english. Strange Alien Matter

[ivory bluff]

Tyvm!

Well: reroll gave me Basic Iron Ingot vs Molded Beam.

[sterile blade]

Someone is about to have their mind blown...

[willow pond]

wait, now i need to know what SAM is in other languages

what's the EME

[ivory bluff]

"Etrange matière extraterrestre" IIRC

So, yeah, litterally "Strange Alien Matter".

[faint turret]

hello just played with someone and we where talking and he blocked me on discord and removed me as a friend on steam weird as crap

[thorny arch]

I spent the last 4 hours automating automated wiring for automated adaptive control units

[night umbra]

why

[thorny arch]

Space elevator

[night umbra]

u need only 100 of the adaptive units so u dont need to automatizate it

just get the recources and put it into the assembler or whats its made in

[normal orbit]

You need more for later, may as well automate

[night umbra]

when i look at the recipe i wanna cry so no ty

[fiery pewter]

Then don't

Until you need them for phase 4 and 5

[ivory bluff]

Really should have unlocked ||parachute and ladder|| sooner. Makes exploration much more easier.

[fiery pewter]

Why spoiler?

[next ivy]

wait until he finds out about ||power towers||

[fiery pewter]

And ladder also is in the storage bin

[ivory bluff]

I'm not quite sure what some people may consider as spoilers, so I prefer to err on the side of caution to not spoil anything to other players.

its really quite shrimple, dont look at a discord dedicated to a game, if you dont want spoilers for that game

[fiery pewter]

I'd consider things that are hidden behind unlocks to not be spoilers, since it's been in the game for a while

[next ivy]

shrimply resharkable deduction krills

[ivory bluff]

I'm untirely new to this game, and I gather other may be too.
That being said, duly noted.

[fluid sapphire]

Anyone on this channel signs up for mechanics type spoilers

[fiery pewter]

Otherwise I'd have to spoil ||refineries|| and ||blenders|| because some people might not be there yet

[next ivy]

bro have you seen ||hogs|| absolutely wild

[hard wolf]

the part of the game where ||the pioneer lands on the planet in drop pod we can only assume was shot through space out of a railgun the size of Alaska|| never gets old

Is there a way to "drop" the parachute once it's deployed?

[normal orbit]

Thank you very much !

[karmic veldt]

The most reliable way I get fed up of this game is the way it consistantly let you waste hours of doing bad design choices, which lead you to imagine solutions that make you conclude you wasted a lot of time doing something useless and you will have to spend much more hours to fix it and apply solutions that now feels obvious in your mind.

Every. Goddam. Time.

But the interesting thing is I like it. I like messing up, realise I messed up, mess up less but still mess up until I have a long phase of not knowing what i'm doing until I realise I don't know what i'm doing and I need to think

[junior laurel]

I can assume much more accurate things but that sounds more like a joke...

[strange vortex]

On what starter biome shoudl I start my secound playthrought?

[rigid wedge]

Facts

[rigid wedge]

Northern Forest

[normal orbit]

or start with 1.2 and use the new game modes :)

[rigid wedge]

In the northern forest

Kinda wish there was a modifier for uranium deposits and nuclear hogs

[dense violet]

I thikn thats called 'learning', fyi 😛

[lament marsh]

do you guys have a way to get rid of water or atleast sort 3360 water into seperate pipes 🙏 🙏

[dense violet]

can you give a bit more info?

[lament marsh]

like from the aluminum

[karmic veldt]

And in any subjects, you can learn something the wrong way or the bad way, I Always chose the bad way in this game: by contemplating my mistakes in a point of view I didn't had while I was actively wasting time doing that mistake

[lament marsh]

eletrode scrap

[dense violet]

process it back with the solution

[lament marsh]

but i have too much excess

anbd each refinery produes 14/min or 420

[karmic veldt]

Hmm, conditionner -> conditionned water -> awesome sink but the best thing would be to analyse why your water input < your water output (I consider you are in a closed loop)

[dense violet]

pinged you in #math-and-meta

[lament marsh]

okay

i think my main probem is the sombersloop use along with overclock

[dense violet]

yeah a very bad spot to sloop

but honestly slooping in general is fairly dumb , just really bad when you have byproducts

[dense violet]

either take out the sloops or bring a tons of shit to where you factory is to burn off the water

[lament marsh]

yeah ill just brun it off through pure

[dense violet]

honestly it's a lot fucking easier to just bring in more bauxite and processing it than sloopping all that

[ivory bluff]

I'm slowly realizing my 8 Powered Coal Generators are not going to cut it...
I think it's time I go to a true lake and expand. A lot.

[dense violet]

if you find 4 coal nodes next to water, burn it all in 32 gens, then with mk3 belts 64 gens , that can fairly easily last you to tier 7

[ivory bluff]

I'm going to explore a bit, that's for sure.

[hollow geyser]

4 fully overcooked coals were enough for me up till gas

[left lance]

whats the best starting place

[dense violet]

they're all fairloy similar.
Northern forests has node a bit closer but you ahve to build vertically

[hollow geyser]

I heard people really like the 3rd option to the right (I forgot the name)

[plucky bone]

I tried the grasslands then the dune desert and finally am in the northern forest which I like the best so far. Maybe a bit difficult to build but still lots of space. Definitely my fave so far. Way more iron than the grasslands.

[leaden turret]

the ground

[hollow geyser]

I find it insanely easy to have a system where say the water input is 600 and the bi product water is 450 I'll set set a valve before the water comes into the system set the 150 flow rate so it's a perfect 600 and never half to deal with a massive headache with it

[dense violet]

all the starting areas has a lot of nodes of all the basic resources
has 1 or 2 solid coal power location nearby
moderately easy access to crystal or caterium

It's a much of a muchness

oh and moderate distance to oil

[hollow geyser]

What I and many others recommend being sloops are very few in the world is to only sloop the end product so in this case the ingots

[left lance]

should i get any mods?

[night umbra]

rocky desert has a place with like 5-6 iron nodes and 500meters away has a cave with normal sam normal quartz 2x Pure quartz 4x Pure iron node 1x pure limestone 2x impure coal 2 normal cole

[hollow geyser]

I wouldn't unless you wanna get QOL mods like perma day

[left lance]

what qol mods should i get

[dense violet]

all the starting locations has tons of iron

the crystal/sam is NOT easy access, tons of murder spiders, but has easy caterium on the surface

and as mentioned lots of coal limestone and copper in every area

[dense violet]

none if you haven't gone throug hthe tiers at least once already

there's enough to learn as it is

[unkempt blade]

do a vanilla save then got look around the mod list

[hollow geyser]

Perma day is the one I like most simply because it's a pain to build sometimes when it's night time

What happens with my inventory if i fall out of the world btw?

[visual current]

Idk gon

[night umbra]

if u dont have keep inventory u will never see it again

[glass turtle]

I see

Not a good idea to so holding on to hard drives then 😄

But human nuclear waste disposal cannon 😛

Speaking of out of the world: I assume i can not accidentally build my elevators to reach into the damage zone?

[true mulch]

the crate spawns where you last touched the ground

[true mulch]

please don't spread false information

[night umbra]

when i played it got stuck in the void

im sorry

[true mulch]

odd... it used to do that early in early access, thought that was long fixed

[true mulch]

you can build anywhere your build gun reaches

you can build your HUB there

[night umbra]

mb last time i jumped into void in early access so i didnt know im sorry

[winged root]

I find the perfect node sets but they need a intercontinental railway between them

I wonder if you could see total amount of track laid

[true mulch]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map

upload your save there

[glass turtle]

Ah i see. Well, where my BODY last touched the ground i think is the accurate way to phrase it, no? Last time i died my dead body was flung a bit away from where i died or last touched the ground while still alive

Anyways. 40 new fuel power plants using a small portion of the swamp oil just came online. I believe i could quadrupple that in the same fashion with all the swamp oil, but i dont need it for now. I built it primarily to be able to demolish about 25 fuel power at my main base to replace it with better recipes (dilluted fuel -> rubber/plastic)

[sturdy dew]

anyone wanna play co op

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

[winged root]

I have 8x the pasta than I do thermal propulsion rockets

[hollow hazel]

@native moss #screenshots message
No such piece. You are going to have to turn a corner up-side down either by using a mod or finding an exploit to turn a fence/rail up-side down and build a corner from that.

[fair aspen]

Anyone, good at build a "Super Computer" factory?

[winged root]

Well how much output are you looking for

[fair aspen]

just 1

[dense violet]

well this is a plan for 1 using basic recipes? https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=OJz4ybqjtcrWMJUBNSb3

there's really no all encompasing layout for anything in this game though

tons of factors might make you want to change all the recipes

[winged root]

In terms of ease I believe silica based recipes is simplest

I recommend building these things in the same factory the circuit boards, and high speed connectors (both preferably with the silicon recipie), crystal oscillator, computer and finally the super. Import the caterium wire, AI limiters, rubber and copper sheet

[dense violet]

6depends what you mean by 'ease'
you can set it up so super computers only use oil and caterium

[winged root]

Ah sorry yeah ease as in for me ease to upscale, set up, use less machines for the given production as well as ease of supply of more rudementary parts from it to other foundries

I found this way gave the least headache

[frigid moat]

say i need more than 600 throughput in a pipe and i have a ton of junctions in a line in front of machines.
if i add another row of junctions will that solve throughput issues assuming i put enough rows?

[dense violet]

it might , it's also very likely to cause huge flow issues

[frigid moat]

ill just see if it works

[dense violet]

first rule of pipes is keep it simple

connecting up multiple pipes into one system breaks that rule

you really want to avoid that if at all possible

[frigid moat]

im gonna do it the proper way and accout for throughput

[dense violet]

what are you trying to do exaclty?

[frigid moat]

get rid of heavy oil residue

[dense violet]

just group the refineries into 2 groups then and have 2 systems removing the HOR

[frigid moat]

thats what im doing now

[ivory bluff]

Unlocked Dimensional Storage.
... Oh boy, that will change a few things and help tremendously my inventory.
Still need to set-up the upload everything manually... And, well, uploading takes a while.

[latent prawn]

yeah, it really just makes your basic inventory completely obsolete & replaces the need for a mall

[ivory bluff]

I'm definitely not complaining.

... What is the Auto Inviter thing? Bot? Spammer?

[fiery root]

Some quick Guide wgat the different lights on my machinery means?

[ivory bluff]

From what I saw:

• Red: not working at all (no electricity)
• Yellow: not working because no output (crafted to full and can't craft more)
• Green: all good, works like a charm
• Light blue: I have mods inside of me and I like that

[latent prawn]

green = running, yellow = stalled, red = unconfigured or missing power (or with generators out-of-fuel), white = running with power shard installed

and as an addendum, the machine kicks off purple smoke if there's sloops in it

[fiery root]

Thanks fellas

[winged root]

Am I crazy or does increased power increase speed of the zip line?

[unique hazel]

can anyone send med a basic layout of a coal power

[normal orbit]

it does not, but holding sprint key does

[winged root]

I see so it’s similar to opening the map while pressing space with jetpack launches you abnormally upward

[latent prawn]

no, the sprint key allows a modest acceleration on the line, and the acceleration is a little different up and downhill. in addition, the speed your going when you catch the line contributes as well

[latent prawn]

on the wiki

the pinned piping manual also has some diagrams in it

[tall plover]

no thats just autosave lagging making you launch up

[sterile blade]

Opening the map can cause some lag too

[winged root]

Works with the map

[tall plover]

same principle

lag -> launch up

[winged root]

Ok good to know

[severe hemlock]

Hello, for when is a normal update planned which, among other things, improves the driving of the trucks?

[earnest condor]

When it is ready.

[wild phoenix]

You’re

[unique hazel]

is there a way to set waypoints

i want to mark where i am withiout forgetting where to go so can i mark it on my compass just like the lift is and the hub ?

[next ivy]

you can make marks on the map no ?

[earnest condor]

You can place stamps on the fly and then when you want to go back to that specific spot just Highlight Stamp and there will be a beam of light from the sky leading the way.

[unique hazel]

ahhh okok

[earnest condor]

If you want to mark a place you want to go eventually that is over there, you need to open the map and place a marker directly on it.
Then can highlight it so you always have that beam showing you where you're headed eventually.

[mint cradle]

Yo my power plant shut down since my plastic and rubber filled up just sink the excess?

[worn oar]

The devs should really add that beam of light for something targeted by the object scanner. It would be fitting and prevent so much confusion.

[earnest condor]

Excess when storage fills should always be sunk?

[worn oar]

I know there's a mod for it (great mod) but it should be vanilla

There's no reason for you to not want it since they can add a toggle to turn it off. So say yes, not no.

[earnest condor]

Because "just don't use it" is not how people work.
And therefore not a valid argument in favor of something.

[worn oar]

Oh shut up

It's a perfect, vanilla-friendly feature

[earnest condor]

If it is in the game, it will be used.
This is why certain things remain not in the game.

[normal orbit]

it would trivialize the actual search for the items

[worn oar]

Obviously it wouldn't. You would still need to be in range.

[normal orbit]

it absolutely would, big arrow pointing "ITS HERE!"

[mint cradle]

Also just unlocked power augmentation which is pretty tuff

[worn oar]

Tuff is an igneous rock

[fiery root]

Just optimized steel stuff production

[fiery root]

Ada doesn't even say anything when ||i blow myself up with a nobelisk||

[next ivy]

which is still useless if its underground, an arrow is not much different from beeps getting more frequent

[winged root]

I quite enjoy looking from afar as the truck tumbles into the abyss only to teleport back onto the track

[mint cradle]

What would yall think is more important to research first upload speed or depot expansion

[winged root]

Expansion

[reef basin]

Both

[winged root]

My reasoning is in case of builds requiring more mats you can front load more structures (of course then you wait longer for refill but you upgrade incrementally)

[mint cradle]

Im just gonna do 1 and 1

[worn oar]

I do them side-by-side

Mostly because I can't be bothered to get tons of mercer spheres in one go

[mint cradle]

I’ve got like 20 rn

Is the alien power augmenter worth getting at phase 3

[worn oar]

It's worth getting whenever you have sloops you don't want to use in something else

[mint cradle]

What does it do

[sinful laurel]

I got it for fun but I dont think it is. I have fuel power plant with one 600m oil pipe and its oversufficient

[worn oar]

500 MW + 10% of produced power

[sinful laurel]

But this, no other use for sloops for at least me

[mint cradle]

And does it help production or what

[worn oar]

#satisfactory message

Sloops can also be used to double production in a machine at the cost of more power

[mint cradle]

Yeah I saw it

Feels worth it for some buildings ig

[unique hazel]

ive got a coal power manifold going on and the last 2 keep running out of coal and failing

[next ivy]

• are you actually mining enough
• is the belt fast enough for what youre mining
• did you just not wait long enough for buffers to fill in case youre using a manifold

[unique hazel]

how long do i wait for ?

[next ivy]

until the buffers are filled

[worn oar]

Machines have an internal buffer of one stack. They have to fill this stack to saturate on whatever they are using

[unique hazel]

i filled them all to 100 ?

[next ivy]

then its probably one of the other 2 points

[unique hazel]

look on ss i will show you

[next ivy]

a T1 belt can only do 60pm right ?

and 8 coal gens need 120pm right ?

so its likely the second point

[worn oar]

I'm amazed when people type out the reason for their problem and still don't understand it

You need mk2 belts on the whole length, as you stated in #screenshots
