satisfactory

[zenith pecan]

Search up my vid on the portal tour as to why pasta, I did overproduce the singularities.

[rigid wedge]

I wanted to have the input side facing the coast so I can see it when driving by

[stark blade]

all the inputs and outputs are on the same side if u wanna make a circle or smth

reactor donut

spicy donut 👍

[rigid wedge]

I prob oc them to 200% then I only need 12 instead of 24

[stark blade]

but then u also need 1 full mk2 pipe per reactor

so u need 12 full pipes 😭

[rigid wedge]

No it’s 480

[unborn gyro]

ah nope readin is hard you labeled it as old save.

so yeah will look for the new one

[stark blade]

my ass aint played with reactors in abt a month so i may not be that helpful with everything 😭

[rigid wedge]

It’s the same amount of water but half the reactors so it’s less piping

[stark blade]

ahhhhhh

oke

[zenith pecan]

The new save scaled production to eleven I even got the slender tower project working.

[unborn gyro]

so how much ram and vram should i download?

[stark blade]

yes 👍

[unborn gyro]

yes indeed 😄

[stark blade]

anyway i need to go

byeeee :)

[zenith pecan]

I'm still using g an old 3090, you should be fine, I did wreck my 12900k recently though 🤦‍♂️

[unborn gyro]

well rip me i only have 12700k

and now b580, up from 1660ti that was having so much fun with your old save on ue4

i miss ue4 not even bothering loading the terrain

[zenith pecan]

Lesson learned, don't overclock 300mhz faster than the max agreed on by half the internet for four years, it wrecks the silicon.

[desert ermine]

got 1k of my rotors and reinforced plates converting to smart plating for phase 3. gonna go find some sam and get the dimensional depot going.

[unborn gyro]

sheesh why oc? how big is it. 12900 should just count it fine

maybe step down to less but more powerful cores

[zenith pecan]

I clocked to 5.5ghz, everyone basically said the mac was 5.2, I had to pay the butchers bill eventually.

[unborn gyro]

at least you have nice lights everywhere

[zenith pecan]

Two performance cores and one efficiency core are completely dark, the rest are badly degraded, I can up to 1.7v and it might keep going for a few months, downclock by a third to get maybe two years.

[desert ermine]

well i was cruising down a forest path at full speed when a large spitter rendered inside the front of my explorer and went flying.

[zenith pecan]

I instead bought a ryzen 9 9950x3d and am5 board and refitted yesterday.

[unborn gyro]

enough to play unity aset flip games 😄

[unborn gyro]

i member when the spawn distance was longer but the ticks between frames were also longer, maybe even logerer

@zenith pecan you know i had to double back up the old save from you. been looking for stin archies eden save and satis tips web is dead and stin archi deleted their youtube channel.

i should look up if Amelie of the Sea has her/their sga atlantis save available somewhere

[zenith pecan]

There is still no rebuilt space elevator production in my save, and a couple of other items are still not back, it is mostly ru ning though.

[unborn gyro]

i am ning for sure 🤣

geez kinda sad to see disappearing art has now reached satisfactory

[unborn gyro]

even the version from 2022 is nice. like geez it's 4 flipping years 👀 it has the nice testing rig in it

like the carriages going round round and round

[reef basin]

sftips is disabled, the data is not lost

[zenith pecan]

I'm just bad at typing on a phone, that was supposed to be "running"

[unborn gyro]

so yeah i wonder who would i ask the 'any chance i can have stin archis eden save file please?'

mostly now when they deleted/disabled their youtube channel

[desert ermine]

i have been driving for 30 minutes and not found any sam

[dense violet]

stin archis?

[dense violet]

considering I'm pretty sure none of it is out in the open, where a car can go, I'm not surprised

[rigid wedge]

some is

when ur flying u can see it xD

but like generally on the ground everything feels and looks like a ant pov

[desert ermine]

im looking for cave opening but none of them take me to sam

i found uranium tho

[dense violet]

if you need to fly to see it, that's not in the open

[rigid wedge]

uranyum

[unborn gyro]

https://youtu.be/XWUguVJ8VeA

[leaden turret]

that's what you get for speeding 😛

[rigid wedge]

u dont have to but otherwise its unlikely ur gonna see it

but they are in the open

[desert ermine]

thats what he gets for sitting in the road. filthy jay walker.

[leaden turret]

||there's dongs on the map you can only see while flying||

[desert ermine]

aha i finally found a sam cave

[zenith pecan]

I have the ultimate sam cave #design-and-architecture message

[dense violet]

ah I think I've seen that before. do they have a discord?

[unborn gyro]

sadly stin archi deleted their youtube channel so this is kinda the last remaining video of the eden save they made, from total

[reef basin]

sftips didn't store any saves afaik

[dense violet]

wonder what happened

[dense violet]

Maybe contact totalxclipse?

[zenith pecan]

I can't copy my save out due to being at work.

[unborn gyro]

nah it's just my save obsession. i hope zula will provide in time 😄

[dense violet]

zula and eden is fairly different though

[unborn gyro]

@dense violet ima glad i was able to dl amelie of the sea atlantis save. i have had some issue but it was just gdrive link issue also something that should not be lost

[reef basin]

if it was on sftips, you have like 5 minutes to find it before I take it back down

[dense violet]

oh I hope they're ok, I was surprised when they deleted their channel

[unborn gyro]

got it thanks

[dense violet]

you found it?

[dense violet]

is the webpage just sftips?

[reef basin]

already back down, but it was satisfactorytips.com

[unborn gyro]

yup i knew what i was looking for and it was gdrive link

[dense violet]

fast 5 min xD

ooooh share please?

[reef basin]

well he found it so I took it down again

[dense violet]

lliiiiiink?

[unborn gyro]

gimme like 5 minutes for the save to load so i can check

but as i said i knew what i was looking for so when greeny mentioned i can it was fast

is it ok to share a gdrive link that was once upon a time public?

not here ofc i would need to dm you it

[dense violet]

please do!

[zenith pecan]

Send to me also 👍

[dense violet]

good architecture inspo

[cobalt crater]

Is there any way to remove paint from a foundation without just removing and replacing it?

[rigid wedge]

there is no paintless foundation

you can paint it in whatever ur default paint is

[dense violet]

paint it back

[zenith pecan]

I'll dl it when I get back home.

[desert ermine]

there was a radioactive hog guarding a purple power slug so i lured it into a pile of pipe bombs and blew it up 🙂

[unborn gyro]

i hope they will not hold it against me. as i said it is one of the most amazing saves and it would be sad for it being forgotten.

@reef basin thank you

[zenith pecan]

They?

[dense violet]

I mean they put the link out right? other people will have that file too

[desert ermine]

i pipe bombed a lizard doggo and the game said i was rude

[floral trellis]

look ada, if that doggo didnt want to get bombed, it wouldnt have been in the way of factory expansion

[desert ermine]

ok i need a faster way to make smart plating than just 5 per minute.

its taking ages to convert these rotors and plates

[floral trellis]

✨ Paralellisation ✨

[zenith pecan]

Just do something else while smart plates pile up.

[unborn gyro]

you mean me talking about them

[floral trellis]

just use 20 machines to work the rotors and plates

also, overclocking, if you have spare shards

[zenith pecan]

About who, sorry for any typos, I'm on my phone at work.

[unborn gyro]

I am just following the tendency of Jace calling most people they/them. and considering in my lingo they/them is considered formal lingo why not

[zenith pecan]

Yuck, messes with my head everytime, I only refer to several people as such, I'll stop there.

[unborn gyro]

i may have been talking about amelie of the sea too, but i bet you saw the atlantis save already. i think it is older then eden

[zenith pecan]

I think I've seen screenshots, not the save itself.

[unborn gyro]

damn you know what gets me the most. the fps

[zenith pecan]

My current save is more like this #design-and-architecture message

[unborn gyro]

today with semi modern system we could just jump and laucgh at any update 3 save

[desert ermine]

i am now doing 15 per minute. its still gonna take ages tho. all i can do is hurry up and wait because im not building anything else before phase 3

[unborn gyro]

this is what happens when you let the tunnelling aliens to evolve

[floral trellis]

go for a scavenger hunt meanwhile. sloops, spheres, slugs... spiders all good things start with an S

[desert ermine]

im gonna go harass the local wildlife with pipe bombs

[floral trellis]

in pipebomb we trust

[zenith pecan]

I have started to build nuclear again, the uranium processing facility is vast #design-and-architecture message

[deft cloud]

Guys any tips for a new player? (20~ hours in, phase 2)

-# I swear this game is tickling my brain

[floral trellis]

green rocks are tasty. give them a hug

[unborn gyro]

tunnelled deep inside 😄 i was having your and baldurs save stored on epic cloud and only 1.2 made me install the game on epic again so i was having so much fun. you know ue5 and better pc 😄 i can have fun with the subwaypipes 😄

[dense violet]

research all the mam stuff
the milestones are atutorial, just learn things
look at below your cursor, every item has different options

[desert ermine]

actually i do have one thing i can do. i can go build hypertubes everywhere.

[unborn gyro]

@zenith pecannot knowing them is like where will i end up

[dense violet]

oh if you hold E while building an item you bring up a radial menu of similar items , you can really compact your hotbars that way

[deft cloud]

My god I have to try this when I get home

Thanks, kind strangers (I'll also hug the green rocks and let you know how it goes)

[dense violet]

if you tap e it cycles through the menu without the radial bit
but if you hold E for the radial menu, and right click, it'll swap textures if that's an option. Like foundations , walls, maybe even pipes

[dense violet]

oh and middle mouse button to eye drop objects

but the E menu is less known

[deft cloud]

Yesterday I discovered this by accident and I love it

[floral trellis]

control which an object selected can replace placed objects if you point at them

[dense violet]

it's real good!

[dense violet]

.. like replace a splitter with a pipe stand?

[floral trellis]

useful for like swapping a splitter with a smart splitter,

or different walls

and yes, all the belts stay connected

[deft cloud]

Dayum! Now I really wanna try it

[dense violet]

the E menu and eyedrop though are prob the 2 biggest time savers

[floral trellis]

if not control, try alt. one of those

[reef basin]

tip: don't ask for tips, learn the game on your own, ingame tutorial is pretty good

[dense violet]

there's a quite a few little tips like we went over that aren't obvious mind you xD

[scenic mirage]

crouch and jump while sprinting and you can get pretty fast 😉

[minor rock]

Idk if you run any troubles Keb, an AI assistant is really great at solving anything. Im lobbying hard to get it added, so its accessible in game

[reef basin]

still I'd recommend learning on your own rather than getting the game spoiled

[minor rock]

Sorry i hasnt done this sooner .

[reef basin]

oh god not this again

[scenic mirage]

lets not bring AI slop to gaming 😄

[floral trellis]

AI is absolutely useless at any recipes

[deft cloud]

Yes I really love the progression
I'll cover my eyes then x)
Thanks for the anti-tips tip! ❤️

[zenith pecan]

Travel in my game is easy, just use the portals, I do need to start building my sporting goods campus now uranium processing is up.

[minor rock]

Slop??? It wont be with direct integration into game

[reef basin]

there's absolutely no reason to add anything AI related to the game

[desert ermine]

is it normal for areas where ive killed stuff and then built structures to just spawn the remains of stuff instead of the actual creatures?

[dense violet]

love me blocked msgs

[dense violet]

you just left the remains there

afaik items on the ground never despawn

[desert ermine]

the remains are in a tractor path. so it respawned and the tractor ran it over then.

[unborn gyro]

noooooooooooo. portals can go to hek i liked the hypertube tunnels

[dense violet]

I honestly never paid attention to the other things that could kill critters, but I thought trucks couldn't hurt them

[desert ermine]

the explorer can kill small stuff by running it over so why not the tractor?

[dense violet]

I think that must be fairly new. You used to not be able to

[floral trellis]

portals are insanely late. also i dont like hypertube cannons

[dense violet]

Actually havent driven any vehicles since 1.0 dropped

[scenic mirage]

whats your transport

[dense violet]

tubes

[floral trellis]

trains, hypertubes, and now a couple portals between my more imporant bases

[zenith pecan]

You can still tube down the logistics tunnels, but the days of my cannonways ended with update 8 screwing the whole thing up.

[desert ermine]

this is a fresh save i started like 2 days ago so it doesnt have a hypertube network yet. been bulking up production to finish phase 2.

been using the explorer to get around because its amazing for the forest spawn

also got blade runners and a parachute.

[zenith pecan]

I tried a portal/cannon loop, it seems someone at coffee stain thought of it and it stops after a loop or two.

[safe sand]

Hypertube loops can work. They’re more fiddly than straight launchers though

[desert ermine]

i think that might have more to do with the game not being able to handle it rather than any direct intervention by the devs.

[scenic mirage]

what is a portal/cannon loop? do you launch yourself into a portal? why?

[zenith pecan]

Portal > cannon > other portal in a straight line, you don't get what I was trying for, it just stops.

[cobalt crater]

Glad I started planning out my factory before building it because I massively misread the diagram

[zenith pecan]

As for why, well, for the laughs.

[scenic mirage]

so like youre going through multiple portals? srry im dumb

[cobalt crater]

Thought I need refineries on resin and not just sending all the resin they already make to res rubber

[safe sand]

Ah okay. Do portals not maintain momentum?

[zenith pecan]

Enter cannon, get shot into portal, get launched from other portal back into the cannon, repeat, it didn't work though.

[zenith pecan]

They're supposed to.

[scenic mirage]

ohhhhhh i see

soft lock speedrun 😭

[desert ermine]

not really, you can just have someone join and cut open the hypertube or disable the portal.

[scenic mirage]

gotta know someone for that lol

ada would not approve of wasting time "socializing"

[zenith pecan]

You can save/exit and you'll log back in next to the cannon loop, not in it.

[scenic mirage]

oh rejoining takes you out of hypertubes?

[zenith pecan]

Out of multi stage loops, I can't speak for tubes with a defined exit, maybe.

[desert ermine]

wait wtf ive been building with these garbage mk1 power poles. i just started speed running caterium while i wait for phase 2 to complete only to discover mk2 power poles.

[scenic mirage]

😄 upgrades are so fire

[safe sand]

I've gotten to where I like doing a Tier 8 start just to cut down on refactoring |:

[zenith pecan]

I use mk1 power pretty much everywhere in spite of being very late game.

[steady dome]

step 1: don't refactor

[safe sand]

imo using mk1 power is better when possible because it uses fewer uobjects

[reef basin]

yeah refactoring is usually waste of time

[reef basin]

do you have a source for this?

[safe sand]

hi greeny, always a pleasure

just based off old stream videos iirc, but they may have changed things. they optimized the bajeezus out of things since I started

I think it at least used to be the case that each connection was a uobject

[reef basin]

yeah no idea either, just wanted to know if some new info was released

[safe sand]

nope, this is based off old info if anything

[thick cave]

Man I love wagering war against all of life

[zenith pecan]

Not sure on uobjects, I use the mk1 with the rare mk2 based on material simplicity and that I generally build simple but robust grids everywhere.

[safe sand]

yeah once you unlock explosive rebar and the rifle, all bets are off

[mortal ginkgo]

homming ammo and cluster nobelisk my beloved

[thick cave]

Nah nah, I just bomb using nobelisks as I have 1,000+ of them

[safe sand]

also valid

[mortal ginkgo]

Also this tactic:

• Stun Rebar the silly Goober Green Stinger
• Put one cluster nobelisk where it jumped below (Goober)
• Run and trigger, let it enjoy all explosions (Oneshots silly goober)

[unborn gyro]

if i could bite zulla on every uobject i would have so many bites

[zenith pecan]

I still have 1.5 million snowballs in stores, like enough to cover the map twice in blast areas.

[thick cave]

Eventually when I get uranium unlocked, y'know what time it is

[unborn gyro]

they would have to be the og ones on your old save

no one new snowball counts

[safe sand]

time nuke each, individual hatcher? B)

[zenith pecan]

3 seconds to midnight #design-and-architecture message

[zenith pecan]

Newer snowballs don't work?

[ornate saffron]

time to make poprocks

[unborn gyro]

the years of snowball count

[thick cave]

Lol

[unborn gyro]

i always hoped for some heavy metal production

[vocal robin]

hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[ornate saffron]

Uranium is Heavy metal

so heavy it decays

[unborn gyro]

how fast

[ornate saffron]

depends on thee isotop

235 is 704 million years i thinks

[mortal ginkgo]

I think we would have 1.3 patch till then, our saves are safe then ty

[ornate saffron]

for sure

[tall lodge]

How is 1.2 experimental holding up? Is it in a state by now that it might be worth considering starting a savegame to carry over to 1.2 or is that still to early?

[gloomy wedge]

I wish I could play satisfactory

[reef basin]

can always backup saves and check it out

I don't think there were ever any gamebreaking bugs in 1.2 tho

[tall lodge]

Yeah I did a quick test right after the first experimental came out and it worked fine but that was on a new savegame and I rather always expect the worst and be positively surprised, its experimental after all 🙂

[ornate saffron]

iove heard mostly positive things, its worth checking out.

[tall lodge]

Will do, thanks to to both of you, much appreciated.

[ornate saffron]

If it helps if i didnt REQUIRE skyui to control the time of day id be on experimental

[floral sparrow]

Do you folks ever transport more than one kind of resource at a time in a singular truck?

[ornate saffron]

personally, no. I often do one part per vehicle inventory regardless of the vehicle

[glass thicket]

Its been stable for me hosted and local. Had like 1 or 2 random crashes in 200+ hours

[unborn gyro]

@ornate saffronhow many billion furlongs to decay half of moose?

[floral sparrow]

Yeah, I'm new to trucks but it makes sense with scaling in mind. How clunky is putting multiple trucks on the same path?

[ornate saffron]

clue, Ive eaten the moose long before decay sets ing

[floral sparrow]

And do tractors have any theoretical advantage over trucks?

[ornate saffron]

Thats a question for #satisfactory-experimental Ive only done limited testing

[floral sparrow]

Oh I'm using 1.1

[sinful laurel]

Trucks feel slippery to me, at least when I'm driving myself

[ornate saffron]

I use whatever holds the most

[ornate saffron]

recorded path gotcha.

i dont know tbh

[unborn gyro]

sounds like something making gravity evil. so it is not me being obese it is you being moose

[wet moon]

holy shit these green wolf guys are so fucking crazy

literally took like 5 ticks of damage instantly cuz of radiation

[ornate saffron]

green wolf?

[wet moon]

the guys who probaably drank nuclear waste

[dense violet]

nuclear hogs

[wet moon]

the big one

yeah that

[dense violet]

or do you mean poison spiders?

[wet moon]

the hogs

this guy almost flipped my truck it the middle of the red forest

[dense violet]

they do that

[vocal robin]

i do not play satisfactory so for me you guys sound insane lol

[foggy cairn]

Hi all

[vocal robin]

why is chat dead the sec i say something lol

[wet moon]

cuz im playing the game

[frosty sedge]

U got a topic U wanna chat about specifically?

[vocal robin]

not rlly

[mortal ginkgo]

you joined a server as a non-player, you stated your opinion

I mean, there wasn't much to follow up brotherman of century fr fr no cap lolbbq

[frosty sedge]

I tried making conversation

[vocal robin]

why impure tho

[mortal ginkgo]

And got some parts! IN THE END!

[mortal ginkgo]

I have impure thoughts

[vocal robin]

uhh cool...

[unborn gyro]

@mortal ginkgoas a non existent entity doesn't mean i have no rights

[frosty sedge]

How come you joined the server if you don't play the game

[vocal robin]

idk

[wet moon]

was more poking fun at this meme tho: #satisfactory-memes message

are you proud of your co-CM?

how we doing people

[ornate saffron]

1.2 feature

[wet moon]

ah

[ornate saffron]

o/

[leaden turret]

also I noticed that got added ^_^

[floral sparrow]

I wonder if they'll ever end up adding that giant enemy crab boss

[leaden turret]

if you ever see any news about creature pathfinding improvements, there's a good chance

[ornate saffron]

game isnt about the combat

[leaden turret]

I'm still hoping this will happen:

October 3rd, 2023
Q&A: When the Crab Boss gets added will you license that song to have a Crab Boss Rave teaser?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDMOnEUDmOs

[void cliff]

Creature attacks could be fun, even if they just simply knock out the power

[wet moon]

well its a nice bit of the game

[leaden turret]

this is not factorio 😛

[void cliff]

Factorio isn’t as fun!

[mortal ginkgo]

No.

[mortal ginkgo]

No.

[floral sparrow]

I wouldn't want the crab boss to be necessary or anything, but it looks cool and I want to send it flying with pulse nobelisks

[mortal ginkgo]

I can't believe I am the impure limestone node here while you guys have impure ideas yourselves.

[ornate saffron]

more chance of a crab dlc where we build a factory of its back lol

[leaden turret]

pretty sure the crab boss is bigger than so that aint happenin

[mortal ginkgo]

Not everything has to have battle. What else you guys gonna ask next? Ranked PvP Battle Royale Roguelite Card Game?

[earnest condor]

And they already put a crashed pod where the Crab Boss would have been.

[ornate saffron]

male character models for 100000 xbox points

[mortal ginkgo]

Ok listen, hear me out.

[void cliff]

Every night spent in the blueprinter is a battle against insanity

[mortal ginkgo]

Having some editable model would be cute.

[open parcel]

why is there lit no one looking for an lfg

[ornate saffron]

peaple at work, sleep, socializing, touching grass

[leaden turret]

-# irregular reminder that grass is where dogs pee, touching dog toilets is weird

[floral sparrow]

Okay, make the crab boss a passive creature

Just chilling

[mortal ginkgo]

Ah yes, more production resources for something that will just.. be there.. doing nothing, just idling around.

I mean, I don't understand the need for a second creature like that since you are already there.

[ornate saffron]

what if planet we are on is actually a space crab

[open parcel]

yeah i know

just sad

[leaden turret]

MASSAGE-2(A-B)b is actually a disc floating on the backs of 4 flying on the back of a giant space crab

[shadow talon]

Hi Mikael!

[void gorge]

Heyo!

[shadow talon]

[hollow mountain]

I hate path signal they just give you error randomly even if you place them at the right spot

[placid stirrup]

Then either it's the wrong spot, or something is configured incorrectly. I don't have any path signals in my world, however.

[hollow mountain]

Would be great if the game tells you whats incorrect

[placid stirrup]

That's what this server is for 🙂

[earnest condor]

What is the error?

[hollow mountain]

I heard there's a rule of "put path signal at the start of an intersection and put a block signal at the end of each exist"

I do that. Sometime it work sometime it doesnt

[green fiber]

right now the intersections kinda dont like having path signals right at the joint of multiple tracks

[earnest condor]

This is a dumb rule that has been propogated by people who don't understand signals.

[normal blade]

I think in 1.1 there is a bug with path/block signals where they need to be placed "further away" from intersections... they SHOULD work but don't work and the solve is to build them in different spots

[earnest condor]

"Path In, Block Out" was said one time, in error, by a YouTuber and people just ran with it.

[green fiber]

path in block out is one of the simpler use cases. But not the only one

[minor rock]

tbh should run AI through the codebase, but I understand wanting to keep their jobs. Its like how UI design gets worse over time, so the engineers can keep themselves employed

[green fiber]

Its kinda the "shortest/simplest possible use"

[earnest condor]

It's not even a use.
Because it doesn't need to be used.

[hollow mountain]

I guess ill try that

[green fiber]

its still a use case

[wet moon]

you keep trying to rage bait everyone with ai lol

i dont know how you keep up the act for so long

[normal blade]

it worked for me, but I've since upgraded to 1.2 and its fixed there, I can now place them very tight with no bugs

[minor rock]

its literaly my genuine belief its that easy

nobody wants to test the limits because theyre afraid

they'd just say, ai will get it wrong, and move along

[green fiber]

if you dont use path signals for intersections, yes it can work right as long as no trains manage to park right on the intersection

[earnest condor]

AI can't get anything wrong because AI doesn't currently exist.

[minor rock]

like i said id get ai to accurately count how many nobelisk it would take to destroy all foliage optimally in the game, and everyone didnt even give that a chance

[green fiber]

also why would you destroy all foliage

that inflates save file size for no reason

(yes, destroying foliage increases save size)

[ornate saffron]

you always present Ai as a solution looking for a problem

[green fiber]

If you want to you can work on that though and let the results speak for themselves

[worn oar]

Because I can?

[minor rock]

it could be optimized with AI to use half of the max size. but anyway. i dont think storage is that expensive, we talkin about a couple MB

[worn oar]

I have over 600,000 leaves and 120,000 wood

[hollow mountain]

I want to try 1.2 but infinite zoop is a mod i live without

[ornate saffron]

cant you mean?

[hollow mountain]

Yeah

[placid stirrup]

Am I having a stroke?

[ornate saffron]

I cant live without SkyUI but thats because night strains my eyes to much

[worn oar]

You tell me

[minor rock]

when you reach >50% removed foliage instances, save a flag and count only visible ones . half size chad

[ornate saffron]

doubtful but i suggest a medical opinon

[green fiber]

you cant switch over because the plants are baked into the map

Suggest a better model

[earnest condor]

Using baked plants to get baked.
420 Blazin bruh

[minor rock]

what are you even talking about ?
if the flag is set, all plants don't exist, then you read out the ones that are visible from the save

[wet moon]

The accuracy is fine these days, claude is very powerful, just that, at what point do you stop living life, and AI lives it for you. Thats the big question. The whole notion of doing something yourself is supposed to be what "the purpose of life" is right? Just doing stuff. But people like you, arent doing anything, arnt pushing their brain to learn and adapt, arnt worndering "hmm, why does this thing happen", and instead just get a computer to think for you. Thats why people dont like AI, because no one put their love and hard work into it, and no one cared about the product. Its jusy produce produce produce and consume consume consume with no sense.

[mortal ginkgo]

Please stop trying to justify AI's existence by giving it jobs that doesn't really change or help humanity by any means.

There are AI programs for health and medical stuff.

But AI won't magically just "make the code better bro" because in the end AI uses data that humans provide.

AI is not "AI" as you think it is. It is not an Artifical Intelligence. It is not intelligent in the first place.

[void cliff]

Death to AI!

Its not rather arguement but that I feel sad for this generation and alike. They think "AI will solve everything."

I am part of "this generation", but luckily its just a small population that are this brain dead

[placid stirrup]

Nalculator is my personal favorite

Project Managers are the most useless existences in this world.

Middle Management is where funny enough, AI would shine to a degree.

[earnest condor]

AI will solve it all so I can spend more time watching TikTok 🙃

[mortal ginkgo]

I am glad you are a beacon of hope and many others.

[mortal ginkgo]

Will AI make my factory look better though?

Can we make an AI that breath for me too?

[earnest condor]

Ask word.

[restive umbra]

you can make plastic AI limiters

[placid stirrup]

Yeah bro just put your factory through AI and it'll do gooder

[worn oar]

AI will make me 50 million dollars so I can drive around in my Bugatti and yap on Discord all day

[earnest condor]

Bugs are meant to be fixed!

Omg I never thought about thıs I MIGHT BE DOMB. Let me ask chatgpt about how DOMG I am.

[floral sparrow]

Man, I just thought it looked cool

[mortal ginkgo]

See? Now you show promise. Now stop saying silly stuff about AI and expand your factory.

[mortal ginkgo]

But you look cool too. Thats more than enough.

[minor rock]

idk just cool that u could find an answer for counting foliage and nobelisk destruction radius with an ai and not have any computer knowledges. that's all

[earnest condor]

YES. MORE REASONS FOR PHONES TO MONITOR US AT ALL TIMES ALWAYS!

[minor rock]

people already give that stuff to apple, whats the harm in throwing in an occular check every month or so

[mortal ginkgo]

They always did.

[minor rock]

everytime they use their phone

[faint willow]

yeah. just, uhh... if the companies start harvesting and selling our data in a way that we notice, just find someone to pull a luigi ❤️

[mortal ginkgo]

Aaaaaaaaaright time to stop.

.#Sluigs

[faint willow]

you guys know how if you look at literally any surface you know what it'd taste like if you licked it?

[worn oar]

You what now

[faint willow]

i tried that with the slugs and for some reason i get the feeling the power slugs would taste metallic

[worn oar]

Tell me what a nuke nobelisk tastes like

[earnest condor]

Um... stop licking things?

[faint willow]

im not licking it ffs

im saying literally look at anything in front of you right now

you know exactly what it'd feel and taste like if you licked it

[worn oar]

I don't have this superpower

[earnest condor]

Nope.

[worn oar]

I do have the superpower of waking up just before my alarm reliably even if I don't mean to

[minor rock]

a slug would feel sensual and erotic, a taste i can't get enough of

[worn oar]

Which is exceedingly strange yet useful

[earnest condor]

Um... mods?

[void cliff]

The last thing I licked was an envelope 🤮

[minor rock]

i love the taste of coins

[worn oar]

Alright someone post the vaporeon copypasta

[faint willow]

Post the wholesome copypasta though

[floral sparrow]

I like the taste of broccoli. Overall I'm more of a texture person regardless

They should add treadmill power generation to Satisfactory

[void cliff]

Generates 0.1 MW

[faint willow]

Trying to figure out what the mods would taste like? 🤨

[earnest condor]

What the fuck...

[wet moon]

You can do the same with your own brain, damage radius is listed in wiki, use that the find total damage area, then find map area, maybe ways to do this, my idea was find a map that has a scale on it, and use that to find the height of the map, print it out on a paper and cut out the right shape, then use google earth measure tool to sketch it out and find the map area itself, if we assume ~30-40% of the map has a foiliage then multiply that found area by 0.3-0.4 and divide your result by damage radius of nobelisk. Ez pz. Btw, i think its harder than you think to get you AI to even spit out an answer in the first place. AI is notoriously shit at gathering any information it hasnt already scraped as text. So getting it to understand the game will be a hurdle.

[worn oar]

Is this dummy still going on about nobelisks to clear the map? I already did the math for that days ago

[trim crag]

can someone help pls,I wanna make aluminum scrap but when I make it it also makes 120m3 of water,what can I do with just water or how can I flush it constantly

[worn oar]

It's over 150,000

[wet moon]

Haha, did they even get a result?

[worn oar]

155,000 something

Of course that assumes you want to blow up the whole map, not just the parts with foliage. Because there's literally no way for me to determine that.

[wet moon]

I mean, was their AI "skillz" good enough to produce an answer

[floral sparrow]

What should I use gas nobelisks for?

[void cliff]

An easy solution is to turn it into wet concrete and sink concrete. Just make more refineries on wet concrete than you need

[wet moon]

Killing nuclear hog

They are scary

[worn oar]

They instakill hatcher flyers and prevent spiders from jumping at you. Have not found other uses than that.

[whole robin]

For the funny

[tall lodge]

Easiest way to deal with it is to use the wet concrete recipe and sink it.

[minor rock]

thats why you have it dump gobjects and iterate them until you find a class that matches a foliage instance, get all this instance location, and conjure some type of math that will optimally place and destruct the least amount of nobelisk to eliminate them all. you don't just ask the ai how many nobelisk you need, obviously

then you actually blow them all up and test whether the result is correct

[worn oar]

This is the challenge of aluminum. You can feed the water back into the aluminum production (complicated) or use it in a pure recipe, wet concrete, or a coal/nuclear power plant

[wet moon]

Mhm, "conjure some type of maths"

[worn oar]

Or get a fluid awesome sink mod if you don't feel like embracing the intended challenge

[green fiber]

coal gen is my fave

[trim crag]

I'm far from coal plant so imma make wet concrete and use it for tickets ,or idk

[minor rock]

yeah the simple way is not the ideal one

you have aswell walls and stuff to worry about too

[green fiber]

why is "minimum number of nobelisks" even an important metric

[minor rock]

efficiency

with this method you could sell your algorithm to a drone company and make big money

[whole robin]

My personal favorite form of power generation is the fuel generator, but i am happy that you find your own joy in coal generators 😁

[void cliff]

Could always sink packaged water, too. Plenty of things you can do with it

[green fiber]

i mean as "favourite method to get rid of water from aluminum production"

[whole robin]

Ah, my bad

[rigid wedge]

What’s ppls issue with feeding it back?

[floral sparrow]

Do you folks generally transport steel and construct pipes at factories or transport pipes?

[void cliff]

Have to understand how pipes work, and not everyone does. So it’s bad to assume that they do.

[rigid wedge]

I make pipes with iron

[void cliff]

Transport the steel, then you can make all kinds of stuff with it

[rigid wedge]

I don’t know how they work. I just took the output water and sent it back in and put the difference value in the water extractor

With alt recipes it’s even easier because you can feed 2 distilleries with extractor water and 3 with recycled water

[green fiber]

feedback is also not often about the pipes but also the aluminum process in total

if one of the machine stalls, it can cause a deadlock

too much scrap? can lock up
not enough coal or bauxite? can lock up
too much silica? can lock up

And then for piping, it could be insufficient pipe throughput (trying to squeeze 720/min water through a single pipe segment) or head lift.
Or an excess production of freshwater

literally seen all of these things happen with people's setups in some form / combination

[worn oar]

That's why I buy all my aluminum from the awesome shop as ficsit intended

[rigid wedge]

Interesting

I’ve been trying to act carelessly and see how much it takes for my logistics to clog but didn’t get there yet

[void cliff]

One easy thing you can do is just make a bunch of buffer tanks and manually flush them when they fill up. FICSIT needs to invest in toilet bowl float technology.

[green fiber]

use somersloops so you make exactly the right amount of water and dont need any extra from outside

[leaden turret]

Pioneer has a low-fat diet.

nothing floating in that toilet bowl.

[rigid wedge]

Ficsit needs ore processing with a washer

[green fiber]

Absolutely not

[worn oar]

If you're going to that length to avoid the problem, just get a fluid awesome sink mod and avoid the problem forever. Water doesn't give points in the awesome sink mods, unless you install the single mod that gives it a whopping 1 point per cubic meter.

[rigid wedge]

There’s some rutile in my Bauxite I wanna have

[green fiber]

and what? make titanium? peh

[void cliff]

It’s more of like a temporary solution 🙂

[leaden turret]

isn't that what pure ingot recipes are?

[rigid wedge]

Pure ingots are a questionable phenomenon

[void cliff]

Leeching with sulfuric acid is what all the big boys do in copper mining. Huge leech pads!

[worn oar]

There's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution. The IRS was a temporary solution.

[rigid wedge]

Needs a fresh and cool new exhaust for the trucks

[whole robin]

Why not feed the water into a seperate aluminum production process instead of having to worry about looping water into the same one?

[green fiber]

SFPlus-ified basegame is an absolute no from me.

[whole robin]

You'll probably need to underclock, but it should work, right?

[void cliff]

Now that would be smart

[rigid wedge]

That’s probably more complex than just looping it properly

Unless you use the alt recipes but u gotta get that idea first

[green fiber]

theres a difference between "looping it back with freshwater" and "looping it back without freshwater"

[rigid wedge]

There is

[green fiber]

mixing freshwater and wastewater in the same pipe network is the biggest source for trouble

[rigid wedge]

Like I said earlier there’s a easy alt setup that uses 2 fresh water refineries and 3 loop water ones

[earnest condor]

The fact that Sloppy + Electrode is as simple as "feed 30% of the input with fresh and all the rest with recycled" makes it very, very easy.

[abstract heron]

why is the stream delay to thursday now?

[rigid wedge]

Maybe they tried to disassemble a train in their HQ

[abstract heron]

Really

[barren idol]

i have 5 lines of refineries that make 1800 fuel. whats the easiest way to put it into 3 mk2 pipes, so all are filled?

[floral sparrow]

Would you still recommend this if I'm using the moulded steel pipe alt recipe? It necessitates transporting concrete too for anywhere I use pipes

[karmic veldt]

I went on a hard drive/power slugs/somersloops/mercer hunt for 3 hours
17 hard drives
3 somersloops
4 mercers sphères
42 blue slugs
23 yellows slugs
8 purples slugs
😁

[void cliff]

Rule of thumb is to either transport raw materials or whatever requires the least stacks so I’d probably turn it into pipes

[restive umbra]

60 motors/min time to spam refineries and gas powered generators 🔥 🔥

[green fiber]

combine one line with a 2/3rds from another line

Pipe junction balancer salad wont work well so you should just merge exact machine numbers

the output of those 5 lines can be broken up into smaller groups

[karmic veldt]

Speaking of power slugs, do some of them respawn ? I swear I can see slugs I already picked up

[green fiber]

no, but when they update the map they reappaear

so its kinda "yes, but only on game updates"

[karmic veldt]

Ok thanks

[whole robin]

So once every third blue moon?

[karmic veldt]

You can cast a slug spawning spell on full moons

You only need the sacrifice of one soul

And 2 candles

[whole robin]

Yeah, but it can only be done by Lizard Doggos, thats how they get infinite slugs

[ornate saffron]

you can craft power shards late game fyi

[unborn gyro]

i can craft zerglings and send them around 😄

[void cliff]

They do get quite a few but I wish they would put them in bins by themselves

[karmic veldt]

I'm at tier 8 unfortunately :/

In need diamonds to unlock synthethic shards

[gleaming wasp]

is is that hard to unlock every single recipie in the game?

[karmic veldt]

I guess it depends on your playstyle

I wanna enjoy the game and I take it slowly so I have like 330hr and have not finished the game already

But I think you can rush all tiers in maybe 150-200hr ? Maybe less ?

[gleaming wasp]

i was referring more to the recipies that you don't unlock just by going through the main story

alt recipies, MAM, ect

[karmic veldt]

Oh, turbofuel was a bit hard because it asks for hard drive, but I guess it's not really hard

[shy temple]

Yeah, it depends a lot on play style.

[hard wolf]

a lot of the drives are pretty easy to get, some of them have the necessary items for repair or to repair a different pod nearby, you can make a biomass blueprint to set up power to open other pods, and if you really get tired of looking for drives they're 100 coupons each in the awesome shop

[earnest condor]

Depends on if you're a person who hates exploration.
If yes, hard.
If no, easy.

[shy temple]

Hard drives are more hard drives than there are alts and things needing them.

[earnest condor]

You can also just buy HDDs now.

[karmic veldt]

The total amount is 128 power shards 🌩️🌩️🌩️

[gleaming wasp]

where?

[shy temple]

Well, maybe in 1.2?

[earnest condor]

Where do you buy anything in this game?

[hard wolf]

first page of the awesome shop

[earnest condor]

iirc it doesn't show up until Phase 4.

But they added it in 1.0 when the game launched.

[hard wolf]

I wanna check but I'm setting up biomass burners :(

[gleaming wasp]

im in phase 4 and i don't see it

oh well

[earnest condor]

Can you build the Particle Accelerator?

[karmic veldt]

I save up for golden nut 👀

[gleaming wasp]

getting all the hdds can't be that hard, right?

[earnest condor]

Nope.

[hard wolf]

you get them after unlocking the particle enrichment milestone in tier 8

[gleaming wasp]

nah im not that far into p4

[earnest condor]

Yeah, it's locked behind that. 😭

[gleaming wasp]

oh

[karmic veldt]

That's a lot of coupons per second 👀 #screenshots message

(I was sinking turbo motors 🫣)

[shy temple]

sides. dont need hard drives. alt recipes are over-rated

[hard wolf]

that feels like a really hot take, but I'm a minmaxxer xwx

[shy temple]

it was intended to be spicy

I do like how there are different perspectives for different alt recipes depending on playstyle though]

Some people love one recipe while others forget it exists.

[hard wolf]

lofi walkie talkie voice mission accomplished. great job, team

[fluid sapphire]

Well, we should all forget about producing screws

[earnest condor]

Can't be a hot take, because heat-fused frames is an alt 😏

[hard wolf]

so it's a cold take because alts are hot?

[earnest condor]

It's a cold take because if you have no alts, you have no heat. 😁

[hard wolf]

brb rushing field research

[ornate saffron]

almost there.

[karmic veldt]

I'm not looking forward to haha, I love this game I dont want to finish

[ornate saffron]

just keep playing. Self imposed goals are fun

[hard wolf]

I'm doing vehicle only logistics :3

[fluid sapphire]

I'm getting a bit burnt out on building a lot of resource sourcing infrastructure ugh

Like train stations and truck/drone hubs for 10k coal

Actually building the factory to use the resources is fun but damn if it's not a slog if I need to collect so much stuff before I can do that

[earnest condor]

Should be the second unlock of Phase 1 pretty much always 😁

[karmic veldt]

Woops. I'm using 620m3/min of oil in my electronic factory. Wish there was a mk3 pipeline 🙁

[ornate saffron]

split the two nodes apart

[karmic veldt]

(and it's not even enough i'm not producing enough plastic/rubber)

[karmic veldt]

Yeah I would need to make a second pipe. But do you know how scary it is over there ? 🫪

[hard wolf]

it was my 4th bc I wanted base building, logistics, and obstacle clearing for biopower, which was the plan until you said that and I decided to take a detour xwx

[earnest condor]

Clearing > Research > Everything else.

[old bramble]

Is there any vertical blueprint tutorials for constructors? I’m trying to build vertically to reduce space taken up.

[unkempt blade]

So you're dragging the base materials long distance and not just manufactured parts?

[fluid sapphire]

Yeah

I transport both

[ornate saffron]

I always do one oil node= one pipe. Pipes kept simple are happy

[unkempt blade]

That's probably the part you should rethink if you're feeling burnt out. You can keep base resources short-range and just pick locations and recipe combos that support that

[fluid sapphire]

That only gets me so far if I want to do anything at scale

[unkempt blade]

Moving ore is awful because it's both high quantity and small stack size. That's the combo that really isn't fun with vehicles

[fluid sapphire]

There is a place with a decent chunk of coal but trouble is I don't want to build my factory there, I have other considerations lately, like trying to cram more production into an area I have already been building in for a long time

The complex must grow at all costs

[unkempt blade]

hey whatever is fun for ya 😆

[simple pebble]

I feel you. I'm in the midst of setting up a huge interchange in my SF+ file

[fluid sapphire]

It's also getting increasingly difficult to fit stuff there with my somewhat strict rules for how I build rail and stuff

One step at a time for me

I am approaching the end of the coal infra but it's a struggle

[fluid sapphire]

But you're kinda right yeah, this isn't my first rodeo with this kind of thing either, I spent a month building sourcing infra for my aluminum factory

[karmic veldt]

I do the same but until the capacity is reached. I have a second pure node I just finished building a second pipe for it

[unkempt blade]

yeah I just like train infra for its own sake so I don't mind using the occasional ore train but if I were just trying to be lazy there's a lot of middle distances where running a messy conveyor is waaaay easier than proper train setup

[fluid sapphire]

I am trying to use trucks for those these days, I did use a lot of conveyors previously

[karmic veldt]

But yeah everything was fine building my second 600m3/min pipe until A GIANT CAT HEAD WENT "meeoooooOOOOOW" attack noise

[fluid sapphire]

I am also kind of purposefully trying to inflate my rail traffic just so the map feels more alive (well, all traffic really)

[karmic veldt]

I have build a rail and train station inside my factory. It's like... 100m long lol

I have like 10km of railroad but this is my shortest train

[worn oar]

coupon

[unborn gyro]

twopons

[fluid sapphire]

That's meme levels of distance for a train lol, for sure. I think my shortest is around 400m, but my rail overall keeps growing and growing #screenshots message

[worn oar]

throupon

[worn oar]

Looks really strange to me after seeing all the screenshots of people using the natural roads to build their trains on

[fluid sapphire]

Yeah, it's almost all right angles wherever possible, all aligned to the world grid. If I ever make a new save, I am not doing it that way again

[worn oar]

How long is this game "supposed" to take when playing through your first time? I've never made it past phase 3 without using cheats and want to actually complete the game in the intended way.

[fluid sapphire]

There really isn't a number of any sort

Some take 100-150 or 200 hours, some spaghetti their way through it in 75-80. Some take hundreds, or 1k+ like myself

[karmic veldt]

Here it is lol, I swear it was a good Idea on a sleepless night
#screenshots message

[fluid sapphire]

Is it going from one station to the other station... On the same image ?

[minor rock]

That would look better with some AI touchups, but its a pretty good screenshot

[karmic veldt]

About ±∞

[karmic veldt]

Yes 🫪😭

[fluid sapphire]

Epic

[karmic veldt]

At least it avoid me a nasty spaghetti

[fluid sapphire]

Sure

I recently discovered an epic method to hide any spaghetti in 4m foundations, nothing revolutionary but very useful

Using lifts and 1m floor holes you can hide pretty much anything in there #design-and-architecture message

No one will ever know

If there isn't a nice way to line up belts between two floors without making big spaghetti, I just do this now

[karmic veldt]

As you can see it connects a under level of the factory to go on a starting point on the left, with ressources I need again and distribute on this side
#screenshots message

[karmic veldt]

I will know 🫣

[fluid sapphire]

Well, if you looked at it you'd go wait a minute, that's a bit odd... Where's that belt going

[fluid sapphire]

Interesting shape for a factory, much more organic than anything I build

I really gotta try to learn to find better middle ground between form and function instead of making everything a block

[karmic veldt]

Lol, it's a 5 stories mess but I get better each stories

[fluid sapphire]

With some polish I can see a style developing

[barren lily]

Oh god Im about to come back to the game (thanks coffestain for ore and power editors lol 100% pure normal with 0.25 power usage) and I NEED A NEW TRAIN TRACK DESIGN LOL

[worn oar]

What a coincidence that finishing the game coincides with the heat death of the universe

[barren lily]

I think imma be building lego type shit with blueprints

I already have an idea but any kind of crossings and stuff will be painful

[karmic veldt]

A five stories mess lol
#screenshots message

[barren lily]

Cuz I want to fuse train tracks with 2 roads on sides

[unborn gyro]

you make lego corpos cry. jopw tii the make moooooneey

This is how my factories would always end up at endgame when I'm too impatient to plan it all out lmao

Discord is tweaking with my message

[simple pebble]

Those are really cool layouts, I love seeing them

Curves utterly suck to make with them though

[karmic veldt]

I alternate between "f dis I just wanna make pasta" and "Hey let's take a moment to think about ratios and layouts"

[barren lily]

They suck while building but then look peak tho

[cursive topaz]

Looks like mine

Just a bigger mess

[barren lily]

Idk just slap 3 logistics floors underneath the first storey, works just fine

But keeping up with it sucks

I did something like that with my old motor and rotor factory (100 each) and worked just fine

But they were quite small buildings

[simple pebble]

Yup yup

[karmic veldt]

When the adhd kicks in:

[fluid sapphire]

I try to build everything in a way that's easily traceable, if something is fucked it's much easier to find

[earnest condor]

Ok but... sushi. 😭

[karmic veldt]

Had problem with my first sushiing

Because I didn't used priority merger

[earnest condor]

Should have messaged me 😁

[unborn gyro]

chew

[earnest condor]

And you shouldn't need a priority merger for anything sushi ever.

[unborn gyro]

did sev open a sushi bar on a corner finally?

[fluid sapphire]

True if you are feeding exact amounts of everything. For feedback loops they can be useful

[karmic veldt]

I did a sushi belt on my aluminium plant but it didn't worked because I had too much scraps against silicium so it blocked once in a while

[earnest condor]

Feedback loops are how you break it.

[fluid sapphire]

Mine works fine

[karmic veldt]

Oooooh

OOOOH make sense now

[unborn gyro]

just put more ice cream on the rice 😄

[karmic veldt]

The feedback avoid the blocking

[simple pebble]

Yeah you don't want to loop sushi

[fluid sapphire]

It depends

If your machine needs 3 items. 2 of which are fed in exact amounts, and a third one that's being oversupplied, feedback loop to the rescue

You recycle what's left over, take in new product only when there is room

You can do this with priority mergers

[karmic veldt]

Wathever I don't really enjoy japanese food whatsoever

[fluid sapphire]

It's fun to build sushi

[unborn gyro]

you need the 4x spicy korean food then

[karmic veldt]

I would love to try Korean food btw

Went to japan had a taste buds blast

[shy temple]

nothing beats a good grill

I love a mongolian grill

[karmic veldt]

I would think Korea is the same

Do i recall it correctly that nuclear power plants again behave like biomass burners in only burning if they are needed?

[unborn gyro]

what you mean like copy paste?

[void cliff]

Priority mergers are great when dealing with multiple belts - loading them up and unloading them with priority

[unborn gyro]

just have the name of the bp folder same as the save

[worldly acorn]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/
To use blueprints from here, for example.

[unborn gyro]

👀

[hard wolf]

navigate to C:\users\you\AppData\Local\FactoryGame\Saved\SaveGames\blueprints\desired save file folder, then paste

[unborn gyro]

i people are still into scim bps

[earnest condor]

If you ever want another crack at it just shoot me a message when you start building.

[unborn gyro]

you should make your own ingame bluprints

[hard wolf]

if you wanna access that and screenshots quickly, pin it to quick access

[worldly acorn]

Yes, I have a couple, I'm just starting out but I'd like some help.

[unborn gyro]

learning is fun

mostly if you really enjoy building

[worn oar]

I highly recommend not doing this but yeah you can if you want to.

[karmic veldt]

No problem, I will sée when I reach the need for nuclear power

[full birch]

building is L I F E

[karmic veldt]

You know, sometimes, I wonder why I love this game so much.

[unborn gyro]

i would say ptimisation is life but yeah i know sf is mostly abouy making it biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiger

[full birch]

nag ive fallen in love with this game so mutch mainly saw it from lets game it out years ago

[karmic veldt]

And I notice this game reminds me a lot of Garry's mod, with the wiremod

[fluid sapphire]

My two proudest gmod engineering moments: a couch you could hover around in with thrusters, and a bath tub with wheels. I know, I know, hold your applause

[karmic veldt]

But I think i'm too old now, I guess not a lot of people know what wiremod was and not a lot of people know that Garry's mod was a very advanced Sandbox game

[karmic veldt]

Lol, i'm not better haha

But I remember doing a lot of Logic gates

[unborn gyro]

none can beat greeny

[fluid sapphire]

What little I played of it was decent fun, never got big into it :p

[karmic veldt]

If, or, else, and, nor, xnor... You could do everything

[night umbra]

guys how do i get the doggie helmet ??

[latent prawn]

should be available in the char customization, maybe it came in with 1.2

if so, switch to experimental

[karmic veldt]

To me, satisfactory has a "modern gmod" vibe, it's an advanced Sandbox game

[simple pebble]

Yeah it's 1.2

[unborn gyro]

have fun with retinas being peeled off with 1.2.x

[fluid sapphire]

Had sf existed in its current form in 2013 I probably would have been all over it

Well, ignoring hardware considerations anyway

My dinky ass laptop could barely run anything

[karmic veldt]

Not really, I would say that there was games that shared similar ideas/concepts

[unborn gyro]

modern gmod

lol

you people have no idea

lol

[karmic veldt]

Gmod is way, way, wayyyyy more than the "skibidi" half life 2 Ragdolls game lol

There was an active community and the game was a modding playground

Wiremod was one of the most advanced game mod with the possibility to program Logic gates

You could even mod the wiremod...

[worn oar]

Why are we saying was? It still has half of its peak player count after 16 years

[karmic veldt]

You have Minecraft with Redstone that allow you to make Logic gates. But wiremod was like many years before that

[karmic veldt]

Wait

[karmic veldt]

My last time playing was in december of 2019 lol
#screenshots message

[unborn gyro]

@karmic veldtif ever we could all make the empire of modded games

[hybrid kestrel]

is there a way to turn uranium straight into something that doesn't kill me? i really dont want to make a million filters to work with it

[normal orbit]

Build the stuff, then add in uranium last

[karmic veldt]

Sleep with uranium on your night stand, get used to radioactivity. Don't let it bé your kryptonite you are stronger than that

[worn oar]

Encased uranium cell is 3.33% as radioactive as raw ore, and non-fissile uranium is 5% as radioactive.

The radioactivity of the node itself cannot be changed

[void cliff]

Just automate filter production gg

[worn oar]

Lowkey I would make an automated upload to DD of filters before I would even touch the stuff

It's just too OP to not have to care about more than shift-clicking the filters out of DD

[void cliff]

I do it for everything in the game haha

Too lazy otherwise. Some stuff you don’t even need to put in the DD you use so little of it

[languid stone]

guys i got a question

[shy temple]

we have answers?

[shadow talon]

Whats the question?

[languid stone]

how can i sort items from a container?

[worn oar]

Click the sort button

Unless you mean sort items into separate belts, in which case you need a smart or programmable splitter

[languid stone]

holy....

ty

[worn oar]

It sounds scary, but it isn't. Before you have that unlocked there isn't really any use case for this feature. After it it's limited. But go find caterium.

You'll eventually want it anyway and having quickwire earlier is nice

[languid stone]

whats the difference between smart and prog. splitters?

[karmic veldt]

Smart = can sort by item or sort only excess items (exemple; left = plastic, right = excess, middle = rubber)
Prog = you can do the same as smart splitter but you can décide that much more éléments can go through middle, left and right. For exemple I can tell the splitter to let plastic and rubber on the right, empty canister in the middle, and excess on the left.

[languid stone]

ty

ima playin rn

[karmic veldt]

I use smarts splitters as a régulator, imagine I have 8 foundry, I can sort every iron ore to go straight, and only excess to go on the left (if foundry on the left), so every foundry fills completely before the next foundry is filled

[languid stone]

sounds hard but i think i understand

i wanna go play mindustry/ this game loadin my brain too much

hm

later maybe

if i wont go sleep

[hybrid kestrel]

are there any "must have" recipies before starting nuclear? like with aluminium i didn't bother starting until i had a few recipies that cut down most of the work

[languid stone]

ye i got link

il copy it from audite journal

[worn oar]

Nope, the default recipes are fine. But you can create a bit more fuel rods by complicating the production chain.

[white dawn]

For the nuclear chain itself, all of the alt recipes basically give you a better raw Uranium to power ratio. If you want the absolute most power out of your Uranium, you basically want all of them

[unique hazel]

how to i get longer convayor lifts ?

like i wasnt my lifts higher

[white dawn]

Though note that that comes with some nontrivial increased complexity, as Ryzor mentioned

[void cliff]

2 floor holes aligned can go “infinite” height

[unique hazel]

ohhh alr i get you

[karmic veldt]

It's really not

[white dawn]

The one sort of "trap" with the nuclear-processing alts is the first step of Uranium Waste processing. The "Fertile Uranium" alt gives you a big boost to how much Plutonium Fuel Rods you can make from the waste, but you have to add in more raw Uranium to the system. Technically if your primary goal is "most power from the least raw Uranium," you'd be better off spending that Uranium on the Uranium step, rather than the plutonium processing step

Though the difference there isn't huge

[karmic veldt]

I have this system so i don't have any buffering when I have the exact ratios going in the machines

[whole robin]

Wrong channel man

[karmic veldt]

I tought of topic was for screenshots off topics ?

[unique hazel]

can you set multipul spawn points ? and choose which ones you go to ?

[karmic veldt]

Is this some kind of summoning ?

[fluid sapphire]

Lfg channel dawg

[hollow mountain]

What do you guys think about extremely compact blueprint? Is it fair or feel too much like cheating?

[whole robin]

Just post it in a image channel like everyone else, no images allowed in this one

Ok Conquest

[fluid sapphire]

1.2 introduces the SPWN, you respawn in the closest one

[white dawn]

<@&387163995947270144>

[karmic veldt]

? I mean "off topic media" isnt for medias (screenshots ?)

[white dawn]

For questions which benefit from screenshots, #1038092680493801533 , #design-and-architecture , or #math-and-meta are generally your best bets, btw. :)

[fluid sapphire]

It's for just about anything that isn't satisfactory

[unborn gyro]

imagine reading the reulez

[white dawn]

(although yes, those would only be for Satisfactory-related questions. :)

[karmic veldt]

I'm like 2 days old here don't mind my boomerisms

[unborn gyro]

sooooo ho many coupons you have

[karmic veldt]

Wut ? You mean in game ?

[unborn gyro]

in game we are all hangry for coupons for sure

[ornate saffron]

think im arou8nd 2k

[unborn gyro]

can i borrow 1000 in my epic save 😄

[ornate saffron]

SCIM will hook you up 😛

[reef basin]

topic for #screenshots is "showing off cool stuff"

[unborn gyro]

i am not a cheater

[ornate saffron]

creative mod then

[unborn gyro]

achievements my good rocking sir

[karmic veldt]

I would be around 300

[unborn gyro]

woth or without unlocking some

[karmic veldt]

Thanks

[unborn gyro]

i think golden nut and stuff is like 1700 coupons

[fiery root]

How do i setup the awesome machinery

[worn oar]

It's a machine you place down

[karmic veldt]

I'm getting 36 000 000 points per minute right now, sinking fusionned modular frame lol

[cursive topaz]

ok im taking a break from the factory for a little while

ill be back by tonight

[karmic veldt]

Wrong. The factory is taking a break from you

[fiery root]

What is this break?

[unique hazel]

guys am i missing smth im watching a tut and they guy doesnt use furneces t smelt the ores into bars and he puts ore starght into a constructor ?

ive rewatched it and he plugs copper ore stright into a contructor and its meant to sspit out wire ?

[ornate saffron]

modded maybe

[unique hazel]

the tut was from 3 years ago where they not needed then ?

[unique hazel]

im a noob so idk how he does it please hwelp

[green fiber]

how bout you share the video

cause in vanilla, that doesnt exist

you dont shove ore into a constructor and it turns into wire

[unique hazel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q67rfeVUrbA

theres the video idk bro

[unique hazel]

theres the link please help bec im a noob n idk what im doing

[green fiber]

the only time you shove "ore" into a constructor is for limestone to concrete

[unique hazel]

yeah ik that much

[green fiber]

and in these modules showcased, theres a seperate module for smelting ore into ingots

the trick is you then take the output of one module and belt it into the next one

[unique hazel]

ohhhhh alr thank you

[ornate saffron]

Copper ore must be turned into ingots before they can be used for parts

[high elk]

Question
Is 8 heavy modular frames / min ok?

I feel like I'm underproducing

I'm on phase 3

[hard wolf]

that's enough if you're using them to build stuff or complete milestones, though they might have to stockpile a bit for the milestones

[high elk]

I'm gonna guess I'll probably need a lot more in the future though

[ornate saffron]

dont worry about later. Lots of way to make them. ^_^

[high elk]

I've got a few hard drives waiting to be used and tbh the heavy encased frame looks tempting. I was gonna use the flexible frame until I realised how much rubber and modular frames they use up per min

Unfortunately all of my oil processing is going into making 300+ plastic & turbofuel, and to rebuild the thing would probably require me to redo the entire area which would take... too many hours.

[reef basin]

ok for what?

[high elk]

Well, atm for ACUs for the space elevator

[ornate saffron]

ilots of oil on the map ^_^ no need to redo

[reef basin]

how much do those need per minute? 🙂

[high elk]

For one ACU? One.

But like, I know those ACUs will be required in later parts, which is why I thought I should make more

[ornate saffron]

a industrial storage feeding a D depot 2/min is more then enough for personal use.

When you need more build more then ^_^

[reef basin]

and how many ACU do you want to make?

[high elk]

I was gonna probably go for around 5 a min

[reef basin]

well, in general I'd recommend making what you need now and ignore future needs until it's future 🙂

[high elk]

Eh valid

Anyway thanks everyone :>

I appreciate the help

[hybrid kestrel]

how can i split an output of 1/min into 5 even outputs? id use a manifold but its for my nuclear power and that seems like it would take years to fill up

[reef basin]

manifold is fine, not like you need all the power right now anyway

[primal obsidian]

yo btw why are some peoples name blue

[leaden turret]

#welcome message

[oblique aspen]

Ate too many smurfs

Also the welcome post explains nothing at all xD

[primal obsidian]

all this tells me is that its secret but cool ig

[ornate saffron]

It does though, when you click the blue name you see the server role. Server roles are explained in # welcome

[oblique aspen]

It really doesnt

Its obvious that its a role, because thats how you get any color

[leaden turret]

secret society is secret society

[oblique aspen]

But it explains nothing what it means or how anyone gets it

[primal obsidian]

it explains its a secret

[hybrid kestrel]

why do people say not to use the mk2 pipes unless you have to?

[reef basin]

because more flow = more potential issues

[hybrid kestrel]

ic, i was gonna do 480 through them to power 2 plants at a time idk how much more complicated that would be

[hard wolf]

is it better to run a 600/m mk2 pipe off of an overclocked oil node all the way to the base, or split it to 2 mk1 pipes at the extractor?

[reef basin]

or build near nodes

[hard wolf]

there are situations where I'd rather build a large factory in the rocky desert where I'm closer to most of the nodes I need and pipe the oil there

[karmic veldt]

I'm doing trains without tutorials

[reef basin]

can move solids instead of fluids

[hard wolf]

that's a lot more logistics :/

[cosmic remnant]

train

[karmic veldt]

#screenshots message
This was incredibly difficult to set up (two trains goes by this stations and the station after)

[reef basin]

that's easier logistics

[hard wolf]

okay, but is it better to run a 600/m mk2 pipe off of an overclocked oil node all the way to the base, or split it to 2 mk1 pipes at the extractor?

[karmic veldt]

Getting the block Logic is easy, but the directionnal signal are a bit complicated to understand

[shy temple]

Splitting and merging can cause little issues. Better to run the bigger pipe when can.

[hard wolf]

thank you

[frozen ingot]

which drone port needs fuel again? you don't need to fuel both and you can manually kickstart one but icr.. 🤔

[unkempt blade]

at least one of the two on that route

[frozen ingot]

but there's a thing...!

[unkempt blade]

ya it's called a drone, it's what drinks the fuel

[manic mantle]

just starting coal power how much capacity i should be aiming for {16 generators } or 8

{2 normal nodes}

[hard wolf]

16 is really cozy

[hot vine]

Hey everyone. New here and new to Satisfactory. And I'm hooked.

[fluid sapphire]

Welcome to your new life

[cobalt crater]

Okay, just noticed the Concrete swatch that turns my painted concrete foundations back into concrete after painting them.

[unique hazel]

I DID IT

[cobalt crater]

I am a very smrt person

[hot vine]

Ya. Over 100 hours on in 2 weeks

[obtuse mural]

enjoy your new full time job :D

[unique hazel]

I FIGURED IT OUT I FIGURE IT OUT

[fluid sapphire]

When I started I got 300 hours in my first month, it consumed my entire existence

[hot vine]

Im trying to get friends to download and play but none of my friends want to.

[unique hazel]

CHECK OUT SCREENSHOTS

[hot vine]

I even offered to buy it for them

[unique hazel]

IM SO GASSED ABT IT SWEAR

[weary gate]

Its crazy the game has only 5 uranium nodes

[patent olive]

is there a way to see tractor path time? I see fuel cost and no info on pathing time at stations. Can it be calculated from fuel?

[peak wasp]

can someone please help me

i cant choose a milestone i dont know why

[fluid sapphire]

Right angles, off to a good start

[fluid sapphire]

Just a regular ol' stopwatch

[fluid sapphire]

Build the space elevator. Give the space elevator what it asks

Gonna hazard a guess it might be 50 smart plating

[peak wasp]

i cant

i am in phase 2

it wants things i cant even create now just 1 of 3

[fluid sapphire]

Make a post in #1038092680493801533

Post some screenshots there

You completed basic and advanced steel production milestones?

[dusk pasture]

bro when is satisfactory going on salee

i wanna buy it 😭

[leaden turret]

add it to your wishlists on steam/epic/humble bundle/xbox/playstation, get notified

[crude canyon]

I bought it on sale
Totally worth full price honestly

And the only game I ever bought full price was Nioh 3

[dusk pasture]

im on a budget rn so

[fluid sapphire]

Cheapest it gets is around 27 euros

-30%

[dusk pasture]

thats decent

[fluid sapphire]

For this game, absolutely

[dusk pasture]

also no

[fluid sapphire]

I bought it for 35

[dusk pasture]

cheapest is 50%, 150 euros

[fluid sapphire]

What

[dusk pasture]

yeah you can check in steamdb.info

(steam database)

[fluid sapphire]

That was during early access, hasn't happened since 1.0

Likely won't anytime soon

[dusk pasture]

probally yeah

[cobalt crater]

It was already on sale not that long ago and Steam had a limit on how often you can put games on sale

[fluid sapphire]

Not worth waiting for is what I am saying, unless you want to wait a really long time

It's on sale quite often on various stores

[cobalt crater]

I also recommend using the site isthereanydeal, tho

[fluid sapphire]

When I recommended that to people I got piled on by people saying that there was "no way to verify" that the stores it aggregates are legit

[fluid sapphire]

I've been using it for almost as long as the site has existed

[leaden turret]

^only legit places to get it from

[cobalt crater]

Well, given it only lists Steam, GOG, and Epic Game Store for Satisfactory, it should be fine

[crude canyon]

seems like the last time it was on sale was not too long ago for me. from april 18 to 30

[cobalt crater]

According to the history tab, it goes on sale pretty often. Might be waiting for a few weeks, at most

[crude canyon]

I honestly bought this on impulse, totally worth it

[cobalt crater]

Honestly, the game is on sale more often than it's not

[sturdy ermine]

Any PS players feel free to add me on psn, They1ShotBro
