satisfactory

[mighty zephyr]

I see theres a #story-spoilers so there is actual story. But are there specific quests i needa follow?

ah gotcha

[white dawn]

There are weapons; I was more just talking outfits there.

[latent prawn]

your weapons in the game are limited, but there's several ammo types for the weapons

fun little side-project in the game is automating ammo production

[white dawn]

Two melee weapons (one of which is immediately obsoleted once you get the other), one explodey thing, and two ranged weapons. A few ammo types for each of the ranged ones.

[mighty zephyr]

Like in fallout 4 👀

me and my 300k ammo for the minigun ready for war 😝

[white dawn]

No, the story is a very light touch and doesn't interfere with anything

[mighty zephyr]

yall are really selling this to me near perfectly rn

[wild mural]

i just realized there are no voice channels here

[white dawn]

There's technically two "storylines:" the one that you're explicitly given at the beginning ("start making stuff") and the another you find later on. But it's essentially just some stuff to listen to while you're doing other things (and the story "updates" are quite short)

[mighty zephyr]

oh yeah uh

are there infinite resources

[latent prawn]

the story is really 'make a factory to deliver stuff up the elevator to the space gods'

[mighty zephyr]

Are sounds something i need to focus on a lot? or can i vibe to sum crappy music i have in a playlist lol

[mighty zephyr]

So i dont get to keep the resources? or are u making specific things with said resources?

[latent prawn]

with a side story of gathering a bunch of alien artifacts that juice your factory and make life easier

[white dawn]

The sound design in the game is A+, and it's got a great soundtrack. But when I'm playing I generally have the game music muted and listen to my own stuff

[mighty zephyr]

any game i play the music always irritates me even when its good so i generally mute it unless its like a dark souls boss fight 🥲

say i place down a bunch of stuff and want to move it. will i need to rebuild it completely and regather the stuff for it or can i just move stuff around?

[normal trench]

The goal is to make project parts that you deliver to the space elevator and is sent up, but regular materials are kept

[dense violet]

the story aspect of the game barely exists

[mighty zephyr]

💜thankyou brodie

[normal trench]

Np

[latent prawn]

most items you automate the production of will feed into other factories that make more complex stuff later in the game, but you also need many of the items for building, so often you produce more than what you need to satisfy whatever chain you're targeting so that you have some extra to build with

[dense violet]

have you ever played minecraft?

[mighty zephyr]

si

[dense violet]

this game is much like mine craft compared to other factory games

the phases and space parts are actually not a huge challenge to accomplish. You can have super sloppy factories and crawl forward

the tiers and milestones are more of a tutorial.
Phase 5? basically the ender dragon. You don't stop playing minecraft just because you kill it right?

after you unlock everything it becomes more of a sandbox and you can choose your own projects

[mighty zephyr]

i had a lot of fun the time i finally decided to really try in a survival world. i always used to be scared to go out with good gear so id always play with iron. id get full diamond gear and drop it in a chest. and never use it.
I stopped being scared, made so many cool farms, got 2 sets of full enchanted netherite armor just for the fun of it. 20 elytra cus why not 😭

[white dawn]

Heh, here I must regretfully disagree with CobaltOfDoom. I don't think it's got any resemblance to Minecraft at all. :P

[normal trench]

Now, there are gameplay options coming in another update that change that

[white dawn]

And personally, yeah, I do generally need at least some vague game-given goals to work towards; I don't do well in "pure" sandbox games. Once I've "finished" the explicit goals in Satisfactory, I'm typically done with that playthrough

[mighty zephyr]

That is my one issue with MC. If theres a clear-ish goal. Like the dragon.. When I beat her in that world I lost all reason to play which is why i waited so long to kill her. Idk why. Its just like a switch in my brain that instantly flips.

[normal trench]

This I mean

[normal trench]

Ikr, but very clear goal

Until you beat the phases

[dense violet]

I have 3500hrs in the game and never finished the last phase 😛

[white dawn]

Like I kind of disagree with the milestones just being a "tutorial." They are, sure, if you jive with pure sandbox and want to keep playing the game.

[dense violet]

I just do my own stuff after I unlock everything

[mighty zephyr]

Only game i have hours like that is skyrim. 5k hours. pure beautiful replayability

[white dawn]

But that's not how everyone experiences the game. By that metric I've essentially never played beyond the "tutorial," and that seems dismissive to me since i've been playing for like six years. :)

[latent prawn]

i'm the same way, you can hold off in this game 'finishing it' until you're ready

[mighty zephyr]

billions of each resource 😝

if the game aint going 1fps i aint doing it right

[latent prawn]

well, you won't see that many 0's on production numbers in satisfactory

[mighty zephyr]

are u able to achieve that

or just impossible

[latent prawn]

you might be able to make a million screws per minute, but dude, not a goal to try for

[mighty zephyr]

hehehehe

[white dawn]

The map's got more resources on it than basically anyone's PC could handle "fully" processing

Your CPU will catch fire long before you've finished that particular quest. :)

[karmic veldt]

Hello back !

[mighty zephyr]

Lucky me Im in console!

[dense violet]

for this game it's replayable if you're willing to experiment with mechanics and styles you find interesting 🙂

[latent prawn]

max belt speed in the game is 1200/min, and most items you're going to be making less than that of

[mighty zephyr]

i cant send images here 🫩

[white dawn]

(Like, could you hook up a miner+sink to every resource node and have a working save? Probably, yeah. But there's basically no way you're gonna make something with literally all that)

[dense violet]

you can in every other channel basically

[dense violet]

thaaaats even worse

[latent prawn]

the scale of production in Satifactory is a power or two less than that of games like factorio or dsp

[mighty zephyr]

check #screenshots

yall sold me on it 😭

[rigid wedge]

There’s modded mc tho

[mighty zephyr]

dream smp (whats dsp?)

[normal trench]

I willsay, this game is still getting developed, as in, updates do release occasionally

[latent prawn]

dyson sphere program

[mighty zephyr]

i dont like modding games. but if i had a pc... skyfactory is what im doing instantly

[mighty zephyr]

that makes me happy

[latent prawn]

its another good factory builder

[mighty zephyr]

i hope this isnt another one of my bad late night purchases

[rigid wedge]

Why? Mc modding is not comparable to most other games modding

[normal trench]

It won’t be, I think

[mighty zephyr]

I just like games as they are supposed to be tbf

[rigid wedge]

Modpacks and their own game that just happens to be free and in minecraft

Mc is just a java toolbox

[mighty zephyr]

free if u have a pc. im on console. we got that bedrock shop 💀💀

[normal trench]

Uh, there is a sky factory mod for pc

[rigid wedge]

Rip

[karmic veldt]

If I may say, there is something that really surprised me with satisfactory :
It's not only a factory builder. It's an experience. You're alone. The map is really really big (I read Somewhere it's the same lenght, even slightly bigger than Skyrim), it can easily turn as an exploration game.

[mighty zephyr]

@normal trench yeah thas why i said if i had a pc I'd do it

[rigid wedge]

There is gregtech for mc which imo is the best factory game there is

[normal trench]

Anyways, I gotta optimize iron then build it so, wish me luck ig

[mighty zephyr]

but can your horse scale a near vertical wall 🤔

[normal trench]

You didn’t need a horse in Skyrim?
Just run up to the cliff, move left and right, and spam A

[mighty zephyr]

horse makes it more fun 🙏

Arvak peak

[normal trench]

All my horses died

Im not a very responsible pet owner

[mighty zephyr]

arvak cant die

[white dawn]

No, but you can zipline damn near vertically up. :)

[normal trench]

Ik, I didn’t use him

[mighty zephyr]

oh yeah are there any vehicles i can make for quicker exploration

[normal trench]

YES

I need to do that actually

[mighty zephyr]

can i make as many as i want

[white dawn]

Yes, though IMO exploration's honestly better on foot

[dense violet]

yes but most terrain is terrible for vehicles. you get equipment that lets you travel through terrain better

[mighty zephyr]

I wanna make a vehicle garage if even possible

[normal trench]

Yes

[white dawn]

(And I believe there's still an annoying bug where the minimap doesn't "fill in" when you're driving in a vehicle, so you'll get out and find yourself in essentially unexplored territory)

[mighty zephyr]

idk if u can free-build at all

[mighty zephyr]

ruh roh

https://communityhighlights.satisfactory.video/meta-search/?meta[]=architecture&meta[]=cityscape

[mighty zephyr]

holy peak

ill be back ima look around

[white dawn]

(some things you see may involve mods, of course, but you'd possibly be surprised at what's possible with just the vanilla game)

[karmic veldt]

Maybe you can find a mod to ride the lizard doggo

Maybe you can fin a mod to let the lizard doggo ride you

You never know.

[mighty zephyr]

wut

[white dawn]

Anyway, one bit of advice before I send myself to bed: You only get a chance to play through for the first time once, and you've probably already been kind of spoiled by various things. Personally, I recommend avoiding youtube, streamers, and yes, even this Discord, while you're learning the game and playing through

[mighty zephyr]

i know nothing about the game except what yall told me

[white dawn]

There's little (and eventually no) "pressure" in the game so you can take it at your own pace, make your own mistakes, and figure stuff out as you go. :P

[mighty zephyr]

is it like dark souls where its almost impossible to figure out some of the stuff without searching it 💀

[white dawn]

If you ever do get frustrated by something, of course, definitely ask for help and folks can get you sorted. But keep in mind that anything you ask here is gonna be immediately responded to with like a dozen conflicting opinions, and we're often an opinionated bunch. :D

[karmic veldt]

I remember discovering the game just by Reading its steam description. It was on sale (19€) I bought it not thinking much.

What a blast

[mighty zephyr]

It was not on sale but i didnt wanna wait. 42 dollah

[karmic veldt]

I'm here since 3 day and it's true

[white dawn]

Not really. There's a "codex" you can open ingame which lets you review any info and see descriptions of everything you're working with

[karmic veldt]

I mean NO IT'S NOT TRUE U LIAR

[mighty zephyr]

peak

[mighty zephyr]

Tsundere...?

[karmic veldt]

Nani ?

[white dawn]

The only real thing is that you will, almost inevitably run into problems with fluids, once you get that far. Don't throw your monitor out the window; folks here can help. :P

[mighty zephyr]

my tv will not fit through my window 🥰

[wind bluff]

are there multiple lizzard doggos? i had one then i've not seen him for ages then a untamed one apeared

[karmic veldt]

Fluids are a religion. You can have beliefs. But not certainty.

[karmic veldt]

Yes

[wind bluff]

spoilers

[karmic veldt]

Nightmare fuel

[mighty zephyr]

i love how any time a game has a warning that says read before playing it just instantly goes off screen

[wind bluff]

i am going to make a lizzard doggo sanctuary to keep them safe from stingers

[white dawn]

That is the way!

[wind bluff]

1 more thing. nearish to the starting area there is a lake with a big ahh spitter on it. is the mark 2 stick enough to kill it?

fuck it wasnt a virus a swear it was an image of the big spitter

[mighty zephyr]

connected to epic games? 🤔

[white dawn]

Multiplayer uses Epic backend for stuff

[cursive topaz]

Guys I got my brother into sf and he is in phase one, and he was like my rotor assembler isn’t getting enough screws, that shi is real as it gets

[white dawn]

I think on console you may only need it if you want to do multiplayer between console families (xbox <-> ps), but I'm not 100% on that

[mighty zephyr]

epic sucks now 😭

[worn oar]

Only now?

[mighty zephyr]

now as in the past few years

[worn oar]

How about the Chinese spyware, the many years of trying to buy their way into a duopoly, the anticompetitive practices, the repeated laying off of staff...

[cursive topaz]

Easy anti cheat be like

[karmic veldt]

Wait, we are not safe playing rocket League ?

[mighty zephyr]

rocket league isnt good ever since they bought it

[worn oar]

It's probably safe.

[mighty zephyr]

yikes

[karmic veldt]

Hmmm, well, I mean, I did not played rocket League until 2024 so idk and idc

[reef basin]

why so? epic is just fine

[reef basin]

chinese spyware has been debunked many times
not sure what's bad at spending money on growing a product
"anticompetitive practices" like lower cuts so devs get more money? or do you mean those like "most games are steam-exclusive"?

[mighty zephyr]

it seems i have no map yet. so i must try to remember locations for now

[karmic veldt]

I never heard of Chinese spyware hoax, I will check

[desert ermine]

man this sucks. im having to build stuff around mk3 belts right before unlocking mk4.

[night umbra]

hi guys how we doing

[sterile blade]

Trying to rework the input design for my storage yet again...
Why do I always put myself in situations where I have too little space...?!

[hard wolf]

small boxes that make lots of stuff go brrr

[sterile blade]

Well, it's a storage area... It doesn't even make anything xD

[reef basin]

Build around your production goal, not around belt/miner speed

[karmic veldt]

Any pc player that play with a ps5 controler ?

[worn oar]

I just found out I've had my coal plant disconnected for the last 26 hours and didn't realize until my power grid shut down lol

[karmic veldt]

I remember when I created my fuse system + black out procédure and commented here about it, someone here told me that power should never fail and if so it was done purposely

[worn oar]

:'(

[karmic veldt]

You done it purposely 🤪

I hope your electrical grid isnt a spaghetti.

[hard wolf]

||ADA just said pocket dimension and not dimensions. it's a pocket dimension :3||

[karmic veldt]

I spent an afternoon fixing mine to get a fully modulable system

[karmic veldt]

Spoil ? :/

[worn oar]

#screenshots message solid biofuel is almost 3 GW of my production but I definitely need to expand

Lol the fuse blew again while I was typing that

[hard wolf]

it's deep lore that I don't know really matters other than I like science fiction and I want it to be a pocket dimension as opposed to a literal pocket, but I'll oblige :3

[sterile blade]

Time to upgrade to Biocoal

[karmic veldt]

Good luck, when your grid is mixed your only Luck is to turn down every machine one by one and then get the power back

[worn oar]

But I have the blessed biocoal/charcoal hard drive and don't want to spoil it

[karmic veldt]

I mean, isnt that the équivalent of using a finite ressource/not automatable ressource to create an abundant one ?

[worn oar]

They are fine with sloops. But I'd rather lock both out of the pool for now

[sterile blade]

Yes, but you do get a bit more power xD
5 Biofuel is 2250 MJ for 10 biomass
12 Coal is 3600 MJ for 10 biomaas
And that's with no slooping ^^

Things then can get crazy if you go into ore-conversion territory, but that's for much later in the tech tree

[karmic veldt]

I heard about this on a satisfactory Speedrun video

[sterile blade]

... That's the last place I'd expect to hear about this sort of info

Do you happen to remember what the context was? ^^

[desert ermine]

is it normal for there to be an empty hard drive pod that i havent visited yet?

[worn oar]

No

[hard wolf]

I hope we get a couple more pure sam nodes, at least :c

[karmic veldt]

The speedrun ?
Well, to keep your coal for ressources, you cannot upgrade your power to coal too fast to save on steel.

Given this fact, you have also the challenge of having to create a lot of power for steel production.

Speedrun of satisfactory begins by collecting hard drives, somersloops and slugs, and getting far on the mam to get advanced strategies in early game.

One of the main method to get a lot of power is to get somersloops to overclock biocoal outputs, and stacking biocoal power factory on the go with the mk1 blueprint machine and an intelligent vertical autoconnect system

Then you feed the vertical biocoal power plant lots of biocoal with the overclock, stack them underinitly until pétrole et voilà

[karmic veldt]

Herobrine type shi

[desert ermine]

i probably ran into like 15 hours ago and forgot to dismantle it

[karmic veldt]

Good weed type shi

[desert ermine]

more like sleep deprivation

[rough crest]

you can dismantle hard drive pods!?

[sterile blade]

There's a bug involving a situation like that, but it's hard to pull off and only in Experimental AFAIK...
user error on wether you actually collected it or not is not to be excluded 😅

[ivory bluff]

... Holy... Some caves are hilariously well-hidden...

[desert ermine]

well it still had the random like rubber and reinforced beams around it and i dont recall ever being in the area.

[sterile blade]

Added with 1.1 iirc

[languid spade]

oh ok sorry

[desert ermine]

good early game extra building mats.

[sterile blade]

This is my only lead in that regard #satisfactory-experimental message

[desert ermine]

nah it was already open there was just no hard drive inside

[flint phoenix]

Just set up my first trains and holy shit that took so long

[karmic veldt]

Wait until you set up a second one

[flint phoenix]

Signals are easy, I've played Factorio

[hard wolf]

they're really not that bad once you've got the basics down xwx

[night umbra]

i just unlocked jet packs finnaly and im using 15 Gw

[worn oar]

You build bigger than I do

[flint phoenix]

Damn, I'm only using 3GW..

[night umbra]

what stage u at

smart plating ?

[flint phoenix]

I'm in phase 3

[night umbra]

how

[worn oar]

I think my power usage is actually quite reasonable considering I've automated phase 3 fully

But still 5.87 GW...

[flint phoenix]

I'm not really bothering to automate elevator parts, and I only just tripled my power usage by building out trains and turbo fuel

[hard wolf]

I'm using 2Gw (3Gw max consumption) and I'm almost ready to go on my first proper exploration run for drives/spheres/sloops before setting up turbofuel and getting into automating phase 3

[flint phoenix]

I think one full GW of my power usage is lighting..

I really should have just set up fuel instead of going right for turbo fuel

[worn oar]

I like to just do the residual fuel so that my plastic and rubber is never costing power

[karmic veldt]

I'm trying to get used to build my shit in the mk2 blueprint machine

But damn that's hard to remember

[flint phoenix]

I spent like 5 hours scouring the planet for hard drives to unlock HOR and heavy turbo fuel

[dense violet]

least you must have almost all the hard drives now 🙂

[worn oar]

In only 5 hours? I doubt it

[flint phoenix]

I definitely have more than I need, at least

Too many recipes for my tiny brain to comprehend

[karmic veldt]

I collected about 15 of them in an afternoon

[dense violet]

you can travel around the map very fast.

'more than you need' is all the hard drives plus the extra blanks

[karmic veldt]

I keep the recipe in the mam and take them as I need

[karmic veldt]

We cool ?

[dense violet]

suuuuure?

[worthy python]

uhh

i loded into SF and now when i left click it pinks

nvm it fixed it self?

[karmic veldt]

I mean arguments are not m'y cup of tea I dont want you to consider me as the prick who always wanna be right

I'm building the next step of my factory. Should I go vertical or horizontal ? 🫣

[ivory bluff]

I'm tempted to go Experimental to try out the new update...

[sick crane]

can I ask something about my coal?

things

[ivory bluff]

Vertical. The sooner you start, the better. Of course it depends on where you build, as some areas will force you to go vertical anyway. Overall it's a good idea to set up blueprints with different vertical layers.

[sick crane]

I mean Im in right now trying to complete phase 2 of project assembly

but the nearest coal is where the ENERGY COAL THING (TM) is located and the second nearest is like 2 kilometers away

im in the coastal desert

what should I use to transport the coal to the (future) steel factories

and the lift

[karmic veldt]

This is so usefull
#screenshots message

Oops sorry answered u that was not my intention

[ivory bluff]

Np. Ngl, I was like "Huh, is this a passive aggressive take or?..."

[karmic veldt]

Yes it is. I hate you so much dude

Who are you ?

[desert ermine]

oh my god t4 belts are so nice

[regal geode]

Hello

[mortal ginkgo]

they are but then they stack to 100.. QQ

[ebon marten]

stack to 100?

[mortal ginkgo]

Industrial Beams stack to 100

[outer scarab]

So... I am playing again after a year.... did they add more screw recipies to starting items? I dont remember needing screws for everything

[ebon marten]

they stack to 200

[normal orbit]

they dont tho

[normal orbit]

nope

[ebon marten]

depo exists, you get more inventory slots before you get to t4 belts and you can get inventory slots via the hard drives in the mam

[desert walrus]

hi guys whare i can post a wisual bug?

[ebon marten]

ive just thought of another way to keep getting encased beams, put a basic/industrial storage down full of encased beams and then start building the belts from the storage and when you need more place down another storage and let the box fill up to continue making the belts

[ebon marten]

#faq message

[hard wolf]

is it that bug with the red lights in the sky?

[desert walrus]

no when you have a jet pac and you go in the factory cart the small car jetpack clips

[outer scarab]

everything clips wtf you talking about

[mortal ginkgo]

oh, get use to that, there are a lot of clipping in this game.

[desert walrus]

ok

soo no bug

[mortal ginkgo]

not saying you aren't correct and that many should be fixed, but then you realise there isn't a neat way of showing jetpack for that specific niche moment so yolo

also why are you using carts? o_O

[outer scarab]

why ARENT you useing carts?

[desert walrus]

i was just waitin for some stuff

[outer scarab]

carts are the best

they literally make you immune to all damage

[desert walrus]

and my energy grid is close to colapse and even colaped once

[outer scarab]

need to jump down a cliff? cart jump. Need to get through a spider cave? carts

I did all my CPUs in a cart

[mortal ginkgo]

Good reason, go for it

[mortal ginkgo]

But.. but...

[outer scarab]

fyi if you get a super computer from a crash site, you get 21 tickets at the start of the game

and you can unlock the cart then

[desert walrus]

now im stuck cous i need to make ruber and plastic but i cant cous i dont have FU***** POWER

[outer scarab]

pro tip, make power and use residue from power to make ruber and plastic

[desert walrus]

yes i wona do it but i dont have energy to run refs

[outer scarab]

how many coal do you have?

you should have 32

[mortal ginkgo]

You need to step back. You rushed too fast into phase 3.

Put more coal gens, take it slow. Get stable first.

[desert walrus]

ohh i have idk my friend did coal

[desert walrus]

im curently dong that

[mortal ginkgo]

Good job. It seems your silly goober friend didn't put coal enough.

As Talo said, 32 should be a good number, a fair amount to continue.

[desert walrus]

no he put enofe but ive been building shit

[hard wolf]

more power xwx

[desert walrus]

ok so i have 240 resudiual oil and im gona put 80 to super coal and rst to fuel

[outer scarab]

hey, when did they add tree falling?

[fluid sapphire]

1.1

[desert walrus]

thx guys for emotional suport

[outer scarab]

did they remove flowers?

[fluid sapphire]

For making paint for the customiser? Long ago

[outer scarab]

no i mean as an item

i use to burn them

[fluid sapphire]

That was their purpose AFAIK?

No paint needed, so no flowers

[outer scarab]

it was but they left them in the game forever

man I played too much factorio, I keep looking for the buildings I disasimble in my inv

[hard wolf]

they were removed in 1.0

[surreal rose]

if i play experimental can i use my normal save slots?

[leaden turret]

it is advised to back up your saves, but yes

[surreal rose]

alright thanks

[outer scarab]

yo, why are critters set to passive on defult?

[slim frost]

where? i never experienced this.. allways full agro as default in all versions of the game ive ever played.

[outer scarab]

idk I started a new game map after reinstalling the game and noticed they were on passive

[slim frost]

strange

maybe something new?

[ebon marten]

they arent, you must have turned passive on in the game settings

[outer scarab]

except I didnt

the only thing I can think of is it remembering my game settings from the last time I played, on another PC years ago

[ebon marten]

so you are saying if you went into the game settings it wont be set to passive? its either that or you are using a mod to make them passive

[outer scarab]

no i am saying it is set to passive, but I didnt do that

I dont use mods either

[ebon marten]

its not automatically set to passive by default

[outer scarab]

right, you would think that

[mortal coyote]

Why could my packager not be working? I connected turbofuel to it but it never fills up. I added a pump just to account for the small headlift but nothing seems to help

[karmic veldt]

I had a nice idea to avoid spaghettos on the ground, what do yall think ?#screenshots message

(the belt is attached to the ceilling on the first photo)

[slim frost]

i think you have altered the settings somehow, sometime Talo. If not, to prove us wrong, you can buy a new computer, make a new steam account, rebuy the game, film it all, and send the video of this happening, but i think if you do all these things, you will see that the settings are set to hostile and not passive.

ofc this was ment as a joke 😄 anyways the settings are standard or default as hostile/agro whatever you want to call it

[karmic veldt]

Maybe the game is set to passive if you are less than 18 ?

[leaden turret]

is it plugged in?
is the output clogged?
does the input pipe segment have stuff in that's meant to be there?

[leaden turret]

lolnope

[karmic veldt]

Some kind of parental control you know

[leaden turret]

game map has dicks in.

if there were parental controls there'd be no dicks in the map with parental controls on.

[outer scarab]

that's not the dumbest thing you could have said, but it's close

[karmic veldt]

Wait what, I never payed attention

Nah u are playing with me

[outer scarab]

oh I got an aura.... i dont remember that being in the game

[karmic veldt]

And i'm so naïve I checked for 2 minute trying to spot dicks

FYI you wont find one on the player character

b/c she is a female drone

[karmic veldt]

Maybe you live somewhere the game is restricted, cannot games be set differently depending on localisation ?

I mean.... every mushroom

just saying

[karmic veldt]

#screenshots message dude...

[hard wolf]

the pioneer definitely has aura if she can throw herself at an entire continent worth monsters, die possibly hundreds of times, and still save humanity (as far as we know)

[leaden turret]

this assumes the pioneer has free will

suuuuuure

[hard wolf]

||there's a solid chance that the helmet in the cave with the bladerunners means one of the other pioneers that landed in the sector before went native and didn't bite the dust||

[karmic veldt]

I know you see dicks every where but don't spread that

[leaden turret]

||or a stinger had the runs and didn't fully digest the pioneer||

[karmic veldt]

I don't want to see dicks every where because of you

Anyway, really nice microphone and amanita muscaria

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> please confirm if ||stingers have buttholes and thus can have the runs in order to poop out helmets||

[karmic veldt]

WHY do we ALWAYS hear grass footsteps in the game

[leaden turret]

grass-lined boots

[karmic veldt]

Bless you.

[leaden turret]

you're not familiar with the fable about the carpet shoes?

[lethal dome]

guys anybody able to help me out my satisfactory is been acting weird?

[karmic veldt]

Dude, i'm not familiar at all

[karmic veldt]

You need an exorcist too ?

[lethal dome]

uuhm my sky has these orange dots

[leaden turret]

princes something something "I will marry whomever lets me step on carpet wherever I walk" something something "rich idiots try to put carpet everywhere" something something "humble shoemaker sticks carpet in shoes".

tl:dr; grass-lined boots so you're always touching grass.

[lethal dome]

that keeps bugging

[karmic veldt]

Ask him to stop

[leaden turret]

touch grass indoors while working on your factory for maximum efficiency

[hard wolf]

so if the pioneer is forced to work for Ficsit, does that technically make her an astroserf?

[karmic veldt]

Not forced, kindly required

@lethal dome can you give détails

[lethal dome]

look in screenshots

[karmic veldt]

What pc do you have, what configuration, when did you buy the game, are you 1.2 or 1.1, what is your latest graphics drivers... Screenshot of your vidéo config also

[karmic veldt]

I saw. But that's not what I want.

[ivory bluff]

Just discovered you can dismantle entire blueprints in one-go... ❤️

[lethal dome]

im on a amd 9070xt and a ryzen 9 5900xt

[karmic veldt]

Yes and also autoconnect pipes and belts if done properly

[rigid wedge]

thats why I use them

[karmic veldt]

Ok,when did you last updated your graphic card ?

Looking on amd website I see last drivers are :
Adrenalin 26.5.1 (WHQL Recommended)

File Size
818 MB

Release Date
2026-05-06

[lethal dome]

yeah around that

[karmic veldt]

Since when you have the problem ? Have you installed anything on your computer between when it was working and now ?

[lethal dome]

since yesterday

it keeps happening in the night

[karmic veldt]

Ok, have you installed something ? Did windows installed an update ?

[lethal dome]

nah

[karmic veldt]

Do you have a software on your pc called "f.lux" or any kind of light dimming software ?

[stoic hemlock]

does the poison rock thingy regrow after destroying if i have built near it ?

[karmic veldt]

Is it a custom build or is it branded ? Alienware, etc... ?

[lethal dome]

it is a self build

[karmic veldt]

Ok, you say it only happen at night ?

[lethal dome]

yeah

[normal orbit]

windows has a night mode you can disable

[lethal dome]

daytime in game is fine

its that it hurtig my eyes i bother tbh

[karmic veldt]

That's what I was asking earlier

AAAAAH

nightime in THE GAME

[lethal dome]

nah i just have the regular game

[normal orbit]

oh wait

[karmic veldt]

XD

[normal orbit]

thats the FSR bug

isnt it?

[karmic veldt]

I asked for a screenshot of your vidéo parameter

Can you deliver so we can take a look ?

[lethal dome]

my bad my graphic driver wouldnt open had to restart my pc

[karmic veldt]

Even if you didnt installed anything on your computer, if the problem is brand new and cannot be associated with any update, software, driver or physical damage, I would suggest you to do a windows recovery:
Windows key + R
Type "rstrui"
Follow the instructions, windows should go back to last time the pc had a major software change

It's not a big deal but it takes time (30-45min)

[lethal dome]

alr

[karmic veldt]

Wait

First send us your vidéo settings

[fluid sapphire]

there seems to be a fair amount of reports about this, safe to say it does have something to do with some kind of update

[lethal dome]

sent it

[frozen dirge]

the lights in the sky?

[lethal dome]

yes

[karmic veldt]

Can you also right click on windows button, "system", and send this:
#screenshots message

[frozen dirge]

AMD drivers are cooked, update made it like that

its just the clouds

you dont have to uninstall your drivers and install old ones

you can just turn clouds off

[karmic veldt]

If that so, windows recovery have a great chance if solving the problem

[frozen dirge]

worked for me, im on a 9060xt

[karmic veldt]

Oh ?

[frozen dirge]

yeah just turn off the clouds

[fluid sapphire]

thats using a sledgehammer where a scalpel does just fine

[karmic veldt]

Indeed. But when you don't have any clue about software or hardware that cause this...

The recovery system tells you what change have been done since

[lethal dome]

@arctic hound turn off clouds

[hard wolf]

I can't wait for daisy chaining to hit the main release x3

[arctic hound]

how.... i mena it fixed it but why did i nevert have a issue before?

[ivory bluff]

(I also have the aforementioned bug: yup, disabling clouds is the way to go while we wait for a fix/update).

[arctic hound]

was there a recent update?

[lethal dome]

apperently the new amd drive update but you can just turn off clouds

[arctic hound]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[ivory bluff]

I'm not sure honestly. I think the latest AMD Adrenaline update from May 4th might be the issue, as I don't recall seeing that bug last week.

[hard wolf]

I hope they incorporate it into a non retina burning visual effect for some sort of story expansion bc it kinda looks really cool

[arctic hound]

shhh....we dont talk about this #screenshots message

[ivory bluff]

Honestly, it reminded me of Lost Izalith in Dark Souls... My eyes never recovered.

[frozen dirge]

the new amd drivers update screwed over some textures.

[karmic veldt]

Sledgehammer or not:

1. you don't lose data
   2)It tells you what software, exemple here where I recovered my system after a free vpn completely bamboozled my netsh config and recovery solved the problem: #screenshots message
2. it's not dangerous, just long
3. it often resolve problems or let you grasp thé problem better

[karmic veldt]

Turn off clouds it worked for philipe

[arctic hound]

yeh already did

@hearty flame the 27tb is raw. i have 2 12tb disks mirrored so out of 24 only 12 is usable

[karmic veldt]

Try to turn off or on things, reduce quality etc...

[arctic hound]

well yeah clouds fixed it

[karmic veldt]

Play with the setting see if you get something

[karmic veldt]

Noice

[arctic hound]

working on my steam plant rn

[karmic veldt]

I love troubleshooting problems like that but in this kind of case I assume graphic parameter are already tuned to minimum quality etc, that's why I asked for your vidéo parameters @lethal dome

This section, precisely:
#screenshots message

@arctic hound tipicaly to troubleshot a problem I would tell you to:

1. desactivate fsr
2. désactivate upscaling
3. disable contact shadows
4. get global illumination to lowest settings, same for lighting mood,
   If nothing works:

Set the fps to your screen Hz rating
Try the game in windowed mode
Try to put every quality to minimum, résolution to minimum...

It gives clues

[arctic hound]

"Set the fps to your screen Hz rating" lol i wont do that

[karmic veldt]

Some screen artefact/flickering can come from that

[fluid sapphire]

on sale on the humble store right now

[karmic veldt]

My screen is a 144hz, I would guess yours is a 144 Hz too

[arctic hound]

200

[karmic veldt]

Also, windows doesn't always recognize your monitor as 60/120/144hz etc...

[karmic veldt]

So sometimes in game it puts 144fps, where windows is preset to 120, and a conflict cause flickering of the screen

[crude canyon]

im jealous of you guys getting that many

[fluid sapphire]

thats not what this is

[karmic veldt]

@spark ruin i'm not a big fan of AMD graphic cards lol

[arctic hound]

also got 3 screens

[crude canyon]

I got 2, but it's not every game that I get 144 fps

[fluid sapphire]

i have a 180hz screen that i cap at 120hz, and most games i play at 60 xd

[spark ruin]

roll back to 26.3.1 and stop the auto update
if its still there then thats not why

[rich harbor]

Eyy so i wanna make adaptive control units should i use trains yk or use trucks to transport that stuff i feel like its unnecessary kinda IDK😭

[karmic veldt]

I have an AMD cpu but I built my first pc 13 years ago and I Always heard amd graphics card are buggy

[spark ruin]

nvidia also has stupid glitches with their drivers btw

[fluid sapphire]

their drivers have got a lot better over time

[crude canyon]

it's your choice. Trains are just better trucks imo, and I use a lot of trucks

[fluid sapphire]

you could just use conveyors for everything, technically you dont need vehicles at all, use whats fun for you

[karmic veldt]

Good for you but it's not always the case I had flickering with my new screen because windows recognized it as a 155hz when it was a 144

[fluid sapphire]

thats not what this is though, is it

that was more like a side plot comment anyway

[arctic hound]

ill admit it im not good at belt balancers like making 1 main and 1 overflow

[spark ruin]

also whz dont we take this troubleshooting to #1038092680493801533 @karmic veldt

[crude canyon]

we got smart splitters and priority mergers

[spark ruin]

also i have a 9000 series card to and im not getting those artifacts

[arctic hound]

ah priorityh mergers is what im missing

[crude canyon]

check the quartz in the mam

[karmic veldt]

Oooh, yeah, but you know troubleshooting is not always about finding the problem but it can be about confirming it's not this this or this problem

[arctic hound]

unlocking now

[karmic veldt]

It's finished ?

[fluid sapphire]

sure

[whole ermine]

what biome has the mmost mycelia?

[spark ruin]

you still have the issue no ?

[karmic veldt]

ohh

i got lost

[crude canyon]

either caves or coral

[viral tendon]

Is it better to use HOR recipe for fuel?

[crude canyon]

yes, with diluted fuel

[arctic hound]

in a blender

[viral tendon]

No diluted fuel in this household(i don't have it)

[arctic hound]

50 fuel + 100 water (per min)

i cant check the refinery rn

[crude canyon]

you can use the refinery one, is just as efficient, but it takes a bit more power

[arctic hound]

sent img in screenshots

[karmic veldt]

80 when dilued ?

[arctic hound]

100

50+100 - 100 fuel

[karmic veldt]

Oh yeah, I underclocked mine to get round numbers

80 generator on a 600m3/min node

20 000w 🙆🏻

[arctic hound]

do turbofuel

[karmic veldt]

We will see later

[arctic hound]

im going to be using this one https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/images/666_turbo_blend_fuel.png?61db87=&format=original

[eager palm]

HOR->Diluted is SOOOO good

And simple, which is why I prefer it over multi-ingredient variants of fuel.

[karmic veldt]

Estimated final max power on a 600m3/min node ?

[arctic hound]

unsure

it only lists 500 per min

[karmic veldt]

Unsure gw is nice

[arctic hound]

leme chekc my power plant

[karmic veldt]

I found the info

2000mw for each 60m3 of turbo fuel

Fuel is 750mw for 60m3

2,6x more efficient

[arctic hound]

35 gens

22222 mw

[karmic veldt]

I see 666/min on your link
So (666*2000)/60 = 22 200 mw

It's not even

[arctic hound]

i got 22,222.33333333333 from doing it for the gen rate

[karmic veldt]

I count 33 generator with a even number (660)

[arctic hound]

how bout rocketfuel in feul gens?

[karmic veldt]

I have 20 000 with 80 lol 🙁

[karmic veldt]

Apparently each stage will give less significant power boost

But for the jetpack it's good

[arctic hound]

uranium fever?

[reef basin]

But you need more resources for TF

[frozen dirge]

there are these like breakable rocks but how do i break them, its over a nearby caterium ore

[karmic veldt]

Yes I heard after turbofuel it's not worth it to go further for power generators

But it's worth it for jetpacks

[reef basin]

You'll unlock stuff for it

[frozen dirge]

when

[reef basin]

Worth is very much subjective

[reef basin]

Well, when you unlock the specific MAM milestone

Hi everyone!
I'm running into a low FPS issue in a game. According to NVIDIA stats, both my CPU and GPU are only at around 30% usage, yet I'm getting less than 30 FPS in-game.
Could anyone help me out? Maybe there's a guide or troubleshooting steps I could follow?

[arctic hound]

ur in the dune desert?

wromng reply oops

[arctic hound]

ur in the dune desert?

Don't reply if you're not going to give an actual answer brotato

[frozen dirge]

real twin

[viral tendon]

Sulfur to black powder to nobelisk detonator and nobelisk itself

How late are you into the game

Like the phase

[arctic hound]

i may look into making my aluminum more efficient

[karmic veldt]

Fuel (750 MJ/m3)

-> x2,66 multiplication to:
Turbofuel (2,000 MJ/m3)

-> w1,8 multiplication to:
Rocketfuel (3,600 MJ/m3)

-> x1,38 multiplication to:
Ionized Fuel (5,000 MJ/m3)

Each stage give you a bit less more power

[karmic veldt]

Try setting maximum amount of objet on belt to a lower setting, try setting the distance to a lower setting.

Satisfactory is a cpu hungry game.

[viral tendon]

Satisfactory chat mfs VS. giving useful advice

[karmic veldt]

Especialy in endgame when you have a lot of object to load, if your rendering distance is on ultra, you cpu try to render everything on the map and it's a solid work for a cpu...

[placid stirrup]

It sounds pretty bad right out the gate haha

[flint phoenix]

Is there anywhere on the map that has easy access to coal, sulfur, and oil?

I used trains so please tell me there isn't

[viral tendon]

Why can't you just

[languid chasm]

When I lower the settings, only the CPU and GPU usage percentages drop. The FPS stays exactly the same.

[viral tendon]

Put a conveyor belt through the entire fucking map

[flint phoenix]

You definitely can

But then it's kinda ugly

Although to be fair my trains are.. In the sky..

[viral tendon]

Ts satisfactory who cares about looks

[karmic veldt]

Vsync desactivated ?
Did you uncap the fps ? Or is it set to a fixed limit ?

[flint phoenix]

Aesthetics are the main reason to play Satisfactory!

[viral tendon]

Then i'm doing sum wrong

[flint phoenix]

... So don't ask why all of my factories are unfinished and my trains are unsupported

[languid chasm]

VSync is disabled. I have an FPS lock set to 144 I configured that myself for testing purposes.
This issue only happens in this particular game, so I honestly have no idea what could be causing it.

[viral tendon]

Using trains for resource transportation is for bums lowk

Conveyor belts through the map are superior

[karmic veldt]

Can you go to windows desktop, make a right clic on your wallpaper.

[flint phoenix]

But trains be goin' and shit

[viral tendon]

I use trains for transport

[karmic veldt]

"Screen setting" or something like that

[viral tendon]

I transport myself

[karmic veldt]

@languid chasm Then you go to advanced screen parameters-> can you tell me how much Hz is set ?

Go back, and go to "graphics". "Advanced graphics parameters". Tell me if matérial accélération is actived or not

[languid chasm]

165Hz
accélération on

[karmic veldt]

Ok, do you know how much Hz your screen is rated for ?

[languid chasm]

165Hz

[karmic veldt]

Right clic on windows task bar, task manager -> look up your disk usage, tell me if it's always high or not

[karmic veldt]

Ok so everything is alright

[karmic veldt]

Try this, oh and if you could also tell me ur specs (graphics, cpu...)

[arctic hound]

u should see my piping then

[karmic veldt]

Now everything's running smoothly. I don't know what exactly did the trick, but I'm just glad it's working again.
Thanks so much for your help!

[karmic veldt]

I didn't really helped I asked questions lol

You know dx12 is mandatory ?

Vulkan and directx11 are very bad for the game

Please make sure when you launch the game, before going to the game, in vidéo settings, u are on dx12.

It's called "not spoiling the game". Wiki exists if they want spoilers

[reef basin]

Oh for sure. But whether or not is that worth the resources you need for it is up to you. Also you're comparing one unit of each, but recipes can convert them in different ratios

Hi, I have a problem with the game (a bug), where should I ask for help in this server ?

[ionic forge]

Idk if the copper rotors are recommended

[rigid wedge]

i wouldnt worry about what someone recommends

[dense violet]

ask here and see what happens

[dense violet]

if you want to use copper and iron? sure. It's a fairly resource efficient recipe.

[ionic forge]

I mean as in mixing materials (copper and iron)

[dense violet]

all recipes are good

[rigid wedge]

also very fast

[arctic hound]

@polar briar turn off clowds in that senario

[dense violet]

again, nothing wrong with that depending on the other recipes you use and your location you choose

[rigid wedge]

thats up to you. one of my biggest mistakes when first playing has been worrying about resource efficiency

[ionic forge]

Oh, I'm on the lower left side of the map, theres a pure coal node on an island nearby

[polar briar]

thank you

[dense violet]

again really depends on tons of things and how you like to do things

[rigid wedge]

it might matters to someone individually but for game progression etc its irrelevant unless you have a super mega all map resources base

[dense violet]

what is available to you ect

[ionic forge]

I dont want to run out of ore, idk how to display how much is left

[rigid wedge]

you wont

[heavy echo]

When I’m playing on a friend’s server, I regularly experience a problem that feels like a kind of lag. My character starts to stutter for a second, causing the screen to flicker. I have a video of it but I can't upload it here

[arctic hound]

fixed?

[polar briar]

yes

my eyes are not burning anymore

[dense violet]

sounds like a connectivity thing

[mortal ginkgo]

resources are infinite in this game brotherman, yolo your way

[dense violet]

maybe make a post in #1038092680493801533

[arctic hound]

its a issue witgh gpu drivers from what ive heard

[heavy echo]

Ok i'll do it, thanks

[polar briar]

is it amd only issue?

[ionic forge]

Yolo? Got it

[arctic hound]

maybe unsure

[dense violet]

also just do basic google searches, you'll probably find an answer faster

[ionic forge]

Imma see how well the Foundry works

[mortal ginkgo]

Yes. Use dem resources like you mean it. Exploit the bad boy.

[zenith pecan]

Go truly construction happy, ficsit approves of cityscapes processing the world!

[heavy echo]

I tried but I can't find a similar problem on the internet

It shows other problems caused by lags. Dunno if mine is caused by lag tbh

[karmic veldt]

I like those plateform hole for vertical belt #screenshots message

It's cute

Like it doesn't want to disturb anyone

[zenith pecan]

They are amazing for tidy factory interiors fed from below #design-and-architecture message

[unkempt blade]

Especially all the limestone! It's the most important resource

[mortal ginkgo]

Obviously, surely not need to repeat myself, to tell the 100% honest truth, it is from IMPURE limestone node.

[mighty zephyr]

Is upgrading the hub still part of onboarding cus i think im at like 5 now. i wanna max it or finish onboarding whichever is first then kinda do my own thang

[mortal ginkgo]

yes, dear cute anime pfp

[unkempt blade]

I think so though I haven't done T0 recently

[mighty zephyr]

🤔😭

alr. ill prob jus do that then do my own thang

im placing stuff in random spots cus im not even using them

just doing all manual stuff for now

[mortal ginkgo]

this part can be sped up as Crash Sites can be dismantled, giving plenty of items

[mighty zephyr]

i know literally nothing abt the game. so im not gonna ask about the crash sites ur speaking of

[mortal ginkgo]

ah wait, I thought you were someone who came back to game

so ignore all I said, yolo in your own pace

[mighty zephyr]

🥳

[zenith pecan]

The ultimate crash site #satisfactory-experimental message 🤣

[mighty zephyr]

Dont tempt me

im trying to not look at stuff abt the game 😭

[dense violet]

the milestones in the hub are your guide, just automate the parts it asks for 🙂

[mighty zephyr]

the parts its had me made i placed randomly cus no use for it rn

i have the portable miner on iron copper and lime rn. so im chilling

the next upgrade gives me more stuff i need for proper automation

I dont like the biomass thing. it uses fuel even when im not using anything plus id have to constantly supply it stuff

[dense violet]

that's the opposite of what it does
it only burns fuel when your machines need power

if you haven't unlocked coal power yet yo'ure in the pre tutorial as well

[mighty zephyr]

then why is it slowly going down when im not even using it 🫩

its connected to a smelter i havent used a single time lol

[dense violet]

your machines use power making things - if a machine is on standby it still uses 0.1mw

[mighty zephyr]

ouhhh

[dense violet]

also, turn your biomass into solid biomass

[mighty zephyr]

i dont even have "biomass" just leaves

ill figure it out eventually

[dense violet]

definitely turn leaves into biomass

you should be able to straight away I think

[mighty zephyr]

ill find out when i get on

[reef basin]

I didn't say anything about explosive

[viral tendon]

Anything but addressing the actual point of the message

[mighty zephyr]

i gotta stop reading the chat. now i know theres explosives 🫩

[viral tendon]

See you just spoiled it for someone

[viral tendon]

Yeah if you're new get out of this chat asap

[reef basin]

You were the one who brought explosives tho

[viral tendon]

Well you are the one who said it right now

[chrome whale]

Is there any mod that would list all of your inventory items and their location. I had a stack of power shards which i'm unable to find

[viral tendon]

If you chose a better time to reply to my message you wouldn't have spoiled anything

[reef basin]

Better ask in modding discord

[sick crane]

what is better Steel screws or Caterium wire?

or should I reroll

[mortal ginkgo]

Big dawg asked a question that would reset someone's brain...

[dense violet]

screws and wire are completely different items

[mortal ginkgo]

you dont need to choose, it can stay in your hard drive library

[dense violet]

will you use either recipe in your next factory you think?

[sick crane]

Its a alternate recepie

which one is better

as a alternate recipe?

[dense violet]

there's no 'tiers' in recipes.
there's no meta

you can't just say one is better than the other
anyoen who says otherwise is a liar

[restive umbra]

hey greeny thanks for making tools it’s a super handy thing

very efficient to use it

[sick crane]

Thanks for not helping

[mighty zephyr]

i really gotta stop reading this chat

[earnest condor]

Best tool is Tools!

[mortal ginkgo]

there is no "better recipe". They can be situationally better but may have downsides.

Steel Screws: Good output but asks for Steel.

Caterium Wire: Great output but asks for Caterium, which is kind of an imporant and rare resource.

[dense violet]

you're asking a question that doesn't have an answer

[mighty zephyr]

Well thats just not nice.

[sick crane]

just bann me at this point

[earnest condor]

To show this in a way that hopefully gives you the perspective that it is all 100% personal preference and there is no objectively correct answer:

Which is better, Pepsi or Coke?

[dense violet]

objectively coke

pepsi is make from cow urine

[sick crane]

coke

[earnest condor]

Thanks for not helping.

[mighty zephyr]

Root Beer

[sick crane]

just bann me

[dense violet]

but like everyone in chat is telling you, there's no best recipe

[restive umbra]

What is better biocoal or charcoal

[mighty zephyr]

pepsi cold is better than coke cold.
coke warm is better than pepsi warm

[sick crane]

?

[dense violet]

depends if you want to make uranium rods from pigs or not

[mortal ginkgo]

You dont need to be banned. You can leave or simply stop asking questions. 😛

[dense violet]

your questions are just not useful to you because answers don't exist

the best thing about the game is theres no simple 'best' anything unless you're VERY specific about what you need from them

[earnest condor]

I mean, if Cobalt wasn't sabotaging me I was going to break it down even further by their product lines.

Like, in my opinion:

Coke > Pepsi
Mellow Yellow < Mountain Dew
Sprite > Sierra Mist
Etc.

To show that even "Pepsi v Coke" is situational.

[mighty zephyr]

wtf

[earnest condor]

👀

[dense violet]

Causing Sev problems is a hobby 😛

[earnest condor]

🤬ing Clipper...

💛

[zenith pecan]

Huh?

[restive umbra]

I don’t understand how this relates to charcoal/biocoal

[earnest condor]

Charcoal is technically better if your biomass source is also wood.

[restive umbra]

Wh?

[earnest condor]

Nani?

[dense violet]

que?

[restive umbra]

Anyone else playing randomized nodes? It’s super fun

[earnest condor]

#satisfactory-experimental

[restive umbra]

Oh yeah it is experimental

[reef basin]

There's no better, as how good recipes are depends on your preferences and other recipes in chain. Pick one you want or flip a coin to decide

[flint phoenix]

Residual fuel is straight better than fuel tbh

[reef basin]

No, why would it be?

[flint phoenix]

More fuel per fuel

[reef basin]

Fuel per... fuel?

Also it needs more steps, so it's not better

[dense violet]

I mean without the HOR alt you have to make plastic or rubber from oil and you get less fuel from it

[flint phoenix]

Oh yeah, you need HOR

[dense violet]

so 2 steps

[mighty zephyr]

turhs out the next upgrade unlocks biomass

[astral sinew]

What is then the most energy-dense fuel for powering the jetpack?

[earnest condor]

Ionized.

[astral sinew]

Could alternative be a turbo fuel?

[dense violet]

I mean you can use it?

you burn through TF fast in the jet pack

[earnest condor]

If you want to drop down 3 rankings, yes.

[dense violet]

Honestly I prefer Liquid bio fuel over TF

[earnest condor]

IF > RF > LBF > Turbo > Fuel > Solid BF.

[dense violet]

most of the time

[zenith pecan]

People often forget opportunity costs of some recipes, certain materials, extra steps/buildings and associated power costs, focusing on just the material result on paper.

[earnest condor]

"This recipe is the best"
-# Completely ignoring it relies on 4 other recipes to be that good...

[dense violet]

that fuel comparison does ignore complexity of making it though

[restive umbra]

Yep refineries are huge but they’re worth it 💓💓💓

[dense violet]

like doing base fuel for jet packs is very easy and does a fine job

[restive umbra]

I be spamming refineries

[earnest condor]

Eh.

[astral sinew]

Of course, we're just talking about the usage of final product

[earnest condor]

Ionized is your best jetpack fuel.

[dense violet]

is it the top of every metric? i can't recall

[earnest condor]

I be actively using Foundry recipes to take less space 😁

[karmic veldt]

Seems like my fuel central works like a charm. Every mixer 100% efficiency, generator all 100%, water pump all 100%.

[flint phoenix]

Turbo fuel be so much damn work

[earnest condor]

Yes. It's one step below "flight mode."

[zenith pecan]

Can also be built away from water sources without immense pipelines.

[earnest condor]

?

[flint phoenix]

Gotta cart in coal and sulfur

[dense violet]

oih it has less vertical speed than RF

[karmic veldt]

Producing 24 425mw 🙆🏻🥰

[dense violet]

but you can still climb higher with IO

[earnest condor]

And that is... "much damn work"?

[zenith pecan]

Heaven help you when you want to be producing singularties in any quantity if turbo is too much work.

[flint phoenix]

It sure is

[earnest condor]

Odd choice of game if that is your true feeling.

[karmic veldt]

It's a vidéo game

[flint phoenix]

Trains are just hellish to build 😔

[earnest condor]

Use a truck.

[flint phoenix]

Factorio trains are so much nicer

[earnest condor]

False AF

[karmic veldt]

Cannot be work if you have a controller in your hands

[zenith pecan]

Hell even use a belt ..

[flint phoenix]

Trucks and trains have the same amount of work associated tbh

It's all in the "how do I make a flat path from A to B"

[karmic veldt]

You asked them personnaly ?

[flint phoenix]

I did

[earnest condor]

Imagine making a flat path lmao.

Trucks drive on dirt without issue.

[karmic veldt]

They told you to honk off ?

[flint phoenix]

I don't think trucks want to drive off mountain cliffs

[zenith pecan]

If you must do absolutely flat, it's either zig zag through terrain, build elevated causeways above the lowlands, or build tunnels under the map, otherwise just embrace each area as its own challenge, this game is the journey not the destination .

[earnest condor]

Dude... go back to F🤬torio if you think Satis is that inferior.

[restive umbra]

Foundries are OP too

[earnest condor]

Anything that helps the factory grow is OP tbh.

[flint phoenix]

Elevated causeways are certainly the easiest, but they're also ugly as fuck

[simple pebble]

Foundry gaming

[karmic veldt]

The first truck In set up in the game is doing wild stunt all around the map with hundred of kg of coal

[zenith pecan]

Depends how you build them, I've seen some true works of art based on the need to get this, over there.

[astral sinew]

I never thought about it before omg

[flint phoenix]

I can't even imagine how much time you'd have to spend to make it look remotely pretty, lol

[zenith pecan]

Look up tempered ____ , they are surprisingly useful in a pinch.

[restive umbra]

and alloys

[zenith pecan]

Considering I've sunk thousands of hours, a fair bit.

[quick hound]

Subnautica 2 x satisfactory update when?

[earnest condor]

Copper Alloy is the clearest example of trading off.

Pure Copper is 1:2.5 in Refinery at a baseline output of 37.5/min
Copper Alloy is 1:2, but baseline output is 100/min.
Meaning, considering cycles and building size, Alloy saves you over 3x the space.

[zenith pecan]

Wouldn't be much of a game if it was just do this/that and seven hours later, complete, this game is a canvas of possibilities, build to it!

[earnest condor]

Basic Iron, Copper Alloy, Tempered Caterium.

[quick hound]

Morning Sev!

[earnest condor]

Alloy is the only one where you trade conversion.
The other 2 are the highest conversion of their kind while also being Foundries.

[true mulch]

a story driven RPG enters the room

[zenith pecan]

I forgot about copper alloy, I won't next time when it comes to feeding even more copper to the particle accelerator gods.

[restive umbra]

You’ll always catch me using Pure recipes in refineries though

[ivory bluff]

I just met the enormous ||toxic spiders|| for the first time.
I don't think I ever "Nope" so fast.

[earnest condor]

Turbo Ammo go brrrrrr

[quick hound]

Hey guys, I’m gonna snort this copper powder rq.. SNORTS aaaaAAAAAAA

[zenith pecan]

It's freezng cold ammo 🥶 ? 😛

[earnest condor]

Putting an alternating sequence of Copper Powder, Concrete, and Silica on a saturated belt is eye candy tbh.

[craggy vector]

Boi ts so dank

[simple pebble]

this is the way

Copper Alloy especially, god I love that

[simple pebble]

there's a lot of clever shortcuts I've learned, but even with those, it takes as much time as a small factory would.

[flint phoenix]

Fuuuuuuuuck

[simple pebble]

That's the trouble with 3D. But it's a whole goals thing

But there's different approaches

You can make monorail that is connected by supports using auto-connect blueprints, and that's a pretty quick-and-dirty approach

You can knock out a good, decently large circuit in a couple hours as long as you don't mind the look of the rail

[earnest condor]

Building? Being the main timesink in a building game?

No... never that.

I am shocked.
SHOCKED.
Shooketh, even.

[cursive topaz]

its not like its the main point of the game, no not that

[earnest condor]

😮

[arctic hound]

@sick crane @elfin heron turn off clouds to fix that issue

[karmic veldt]

Well, i'm back

And I tried more verticality

#screenshots message

[stark ridge]

I ahve 4x4 road blueprint, but can I set those on grid? Looks like ctrl does not work there

[simple pebble]

If you're using world grid, I would place a foundation first and use that to anchor the blueprint

[reef basin]

Though I wouldn't recommend world grid

[stark ridge]

why?

[simple pebble]

It's useful if you're doing a simple road with plain 90 degree turns to connect everything, but it can't align with a lot of the terrain's natural shapes

Imo it's not bad to use world grid for a first run, but I don't like it for more ambitious projects

[earnest condor]

Building roads?

What is this heresy?
Hannah spent years building you roads so you wouldn't have to.

[dense violet]

it's not even useful for that, yo ucan just use your own grid and build outwards if you're making a continuous road

[karmic veldt]

The recipe I followed #screenshots message

[simple pebble]

Absolutely true

That takes a little discipline but it's not much harder

[stark ridge]

I thought it was a quick and handy way to connect two objects that were not connected befroe 🤷‍♂️

[earnest condor]

World Grid is one of those "to be ignored completely" features tbh.

[hollow hazel]

Only thing is that the vehicles didn't always work with those bumpy roads. And even if 1.2 comes with better vehicle handling and pathing, there could still be bumps or hills they don't like.

[earnest condor]

Have been trucking since Update 2 and... no.
Trucks handle terrain just fine.

[simple pebble]

Oh, it's absolutely useful for that. Don't mind our snobbery lol

You can get much more out of the game without the grid but the learning curve is steep

[stark ridge]

Also coming from factorio I kinda feel naked without the world grid 😅 (I know this is different game)

[earnest condor]

@stark ridge my main issue with WG is it never aligns with terrain so stuff ends up looking like shit when contrasted with what it is built next to. 🤷‍♂️

[reef basin]

That can be easily done without WG (and also rarely needed)

[simple pebble]

Not needed, but often suits folks' aesthetic choices

[stark ridge]

ah yes. That is a valid point. good thing everything i build always looks like crap anyways so I dont even bother 😄 . For me its more about functionality over asthetics

[earnest condor]

Map was never intended to have a WG.
It was added much later solely because people wouldn't shut up about it.
This is why none of the resources nodes are actually in line with the grid.

[reef basin]

I don't see why they would be on WG either way

[dense violet]

you can merge foundations on different grids with trivial methods, though you also never need to connect mutiple grids in the first place

plus that leaves you with the freedom of design

[earnest condor]

Drones fly.
Trucks and trains are perfectly fine with curving.

So terrain alignment just works better imo then having stuff across the map that can't even see each other be perfectly aligned for no reason.

[unborn summit]

A question for the more rail-oriented of you guys; how do you transition from late-early/mid-game to a truly modular late-game train-oriented base? In my past runs I mostly built ad hoc and used drones later on, with trains to bridge distance gaps. On this run I've been trying to be more logistically train oriented but I'm struggling to make a coherent plan to transition to phase 4 and beyond.

[simple pebble]

Debatable about 'trivial', with how clipping and Z-fighting work

A merge is simple on paper but every step of making it look less bad is a complication

[dense violet]

trivial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX_2i8T3Dbw

[dense violet]

easiest? treat the milestones liek a tutorial and build new systems at the end
