satisfactory

[abstract heron]

if u do go PC u will need probbaly BEEFY rig

[willow iris]

Yea cause don’t the game get pretty buggy after you get a lot of things placed down?

[abstract heron]

i had to increase my uobject limlt

[abstract heron]

And with PC u can get EXP

#satisfactory-experimental new features

[willow iris]

Ahhhhh. Sounds pretty fire

[abstract heron]

But do a big think of what do u want to do

[cosmic ledge]

done

[willow iris]

Fs. I’ll definitely do so

[abstract heron]

but if u do pc u need monitors etc etc

Just ping me if u need me i am going to go back to my movie

[white dawn]

Honestly that's often the case with PC as well. I suspect this game attracts folks who just want to tinker in peace. :)

[white dawn]

My 8-year-old potato still runs the game well enough. :)

[willow iris]

Right. I just got done playing around with stardew valley for a bit and decided to pick it up. Been pretty fun but lord there’s a lot to learn and take in 😓😭

[latent prawn]

the console port is pretty new, and most people here have been playing the game for a while. i suspect there's some sampling bias

[abstract heron]

Before my new Pc which i am on Now

i had a 1660ti GPU

[abstract heron]

Really?

[white dawn]

Looks like that's better than what I still have, which is a 1060

[abstract heron]

i have now 5080GPU

5080ti in my rig

[abstract heron]

just hit 19,580hrs TOTAL

memory at 16kGB or MB in my world

[white dawn]

Really! There's limits to how big I can build in the endgame, of course -- by the time I'm through a playthrough there's some noticeable FPS hits.

[abstract heron]

i am hoping with my world in 1.2 it can get better FPS

[white dawn]

But I've done multiple playthroughs on this thing. Someday I'll upgrade; hoping to wait until the AI bubble bursts

[abstract heron]

my big one atm

[dense violet]

6you can't paste an image in #math-and-meta ? that's not this channel

[robust wigeon]

16kGB would be 16TB which is impossible - yes, we have commercial computers that could theoretically handle that, but the game itself wouldn't be able to run (massive overflow issues n stuff, just for starters)

16kMB would be 16GB which is still HUGE but within the realm of reason possibility 👍

[abstract heron]

i am wishing 1.2 helps my world FPS wise and such

[robust wigeon]

hopefully

[twin parcel]

uh experiece fps isuues , i havent build any factory for phase 5 yet

[cursive topaz]

fps issues with big factoires yes, phase 4 is kicking me butt

[keen birch]

how do yall deal with weird ratios? do you just sink the excess? redistribute it to other assembly lines somehow?

[dense violet]

clocking is the core mechanic in the game for logistics management
with clocking 'weird ratios' don't exist

[keen birch]

for machines sure but what about ore? is it not a waste to not fully overclock an ore node?

[dense violet]

clock the miner to output exactly what you need

if you have no use for it, how is it a waste?
if that'was the case every node you're not using on the map is continuously being wasted

[keen birch]

idk, it just feels like, why would i tap a new ore vein if this one could make more?

overflow splitter maybe?

[dense violet]

then use it and over flow it somewhere else I guess?
but the game forces you to spread out in any case

it's probably going to be way more obnoxious moving small amounts of ores from one place to another

especially when you can probably find a spot that has everything you need close by

Like, you absolutely CAN do that, but it's you that has to decide if thats worth the effort

remember, you're never going to be able to use all the resources on the map in any case

[keen birch]

computer would crash well before then

[dense violet]

even the best consumer grade PCs wil probably have minutes per frame even getting close to it

the game had some great optimisations with 1.0 and now 1.2, but they also doubled the amount of resources on the map and added an extra phase/tier processing

[cursive crane]

6 digit ingot production for iron and copper basically 😂

[dry veldt]

In ADA we Trust ! 🤣

[reef basin]

clock machines to match

[reef basin]

no it's not a waste, as by the same definition all untapped nodes would be wasted as well

[dense violet]

that was a really laggy echo in this channel....

[keen birch]

this is probably just a mental block i need to get over coming from factorio lol

[reef basin]

discord didn't scroll 🙃

[dense violet]

xD

it do that

[dense violet]

they are VERY different games

not just the 3d

[keen birch]

oh absolutely, although some of the skills do translate

[dense violet]

a bit, but the entire design philosophy is very different

[keen birch]

def need more architecture practice tho im getting minecraft flashbacks. its so hard to not just build boxes.

[dense violet]

plus after the phases the game is basically just a sandbox like minecraft

[reef basin]

very little, if any

[keen birch]

planning assembly lines is a pretty similar thought experiment, as is logistics oftentimes.

[reef basin]

again, very little. In Factorio you usually reuse previous parts, use a bus, centralise production, we usually do nothing like that in SF

[sour cargo]

i mean, nothing prevent you from plying that way, tho 🙃

[keen birch]

you only use a bus fairly early game, the reuse of previous parts is a key one that doesnt translate though

[reef basin]

for sure, but you would be making the game way harder for yourself for no reason 🙂

[keen birch]

but balancing inputs and outputs and paying attention to throughputs and such? all that definitely translates

[sterile blade]

One just had to actually read what you wrote to know... 😅
(LLMs rarely spell words wrong xD)

[keen birch]

or determining the most effective method to get resource A to location B

[reef basin]

eh, I use bus for majority of my playthrough

[keen birch]

there is a point where a bus just flat out does not have enough throughput to keep up. trains can though

trains can also be made really smart w the circuit network stuff

[reef basin]

a bus and a train are two different things though - bus is to distribute materials to machines, trains are to move things from A to B

[keen birch]

i am specifically referring to a large central bus carrying every or nearly every resource, branching off to each assembly line

[reef basin]

and with space age belts have tons of throughput (and you can always build more)

[keen birch]

that is specifically the strat that doesnt work lategame

well, doesnt work well at least. it doesnt scale as well

[reef basin]

yeah, which is not really replaceable by train, as trains do not distribute materials to machines. And I do use bus for most of my early game to early late game malls

and even after that with bots, it's usually just "provider chest at the end of bus next to requesters for crafting"

[keen birch]

miner -> train station -> network -> assembly line demanding that resource -> machines

[reef basin]

yeah, but again, train does transportation from A to B, while bus does distribution in B. Two different concepts

[keen birch]

-> back to train station -> network -> product can now be requested anywhere else in network

[keen birch]

there is no bus when youre doing primarily trains, each location (B) is only producing a single product or maybe a small set of products

[reef basin]

I do have busses even if I convert most of the map to trains

[keen birch]

the only bus i keep is the one i used to do initial research

its just much harder to scale once im trying to do infinites

[reef basin]

different ways to play 🤷 but mall bus doesn't really need to scale

[keen birch]

i do agree w the mall one, thats built into the one i keep

[karmic veldt]

English syntax, grammar and conjugation can be tricky for me, but try to learn French conjugation and suffer like I did in school trying to learn both English and french conjugation

[dense violet]

french conjugation is a lot of bs honestly, but you can fit a lot of info into short sentences

[reef basin]

don't french also spell numbers in some super weird way?

[sterile blade]

I wasn't trying to roast your English, just to point out that the "bar" to distinguish what you wrote from generated content is lower than you said (imo) ^^

[zenith pecan]

Ahh language differences, I've had fun and games with russian, non stressed O and words with cases have slowed me down big time 🤣

[karmic veldt]

When I was at school my french teacher told me to get latin lessons to get better at french by learning the basis of it.

It is incredibly harder.
XIV century type shit harder. I just lost time and energy

[sterile blade]

Try German next... At least you can actually speak that with a decent number of people

[reef basin]

meine Deutsch ist Kartoffel

[karmic veldt]

Langage containing déclinaison -> nope

[karmic veldt]

(variations of a same word for male female and neutral)

[zenith pecan]

I had trouble with other languages that basically used the same alphabet as english, it resulted in me mispronouncing & butchering words in those languages due to how I perceived the letters 🤦‍♂️

[reef basin]

oh I'm used to that from my language 😄

[sterile blade]

I'm actually a bit saddened we don't have "neutral" anymore too... :/

[reef basin]

we have like 50 variations of same word based on context it is used in

(though if you're interested in that, ping me in #off-topic-general as it should go there)

[karmic veldt]

Yeah sure, but even set lower the standard will be unreached from certain people

So we continue to lower the standards.

It has been décades now.

I get roasted on a daily basis here it became a tradition and I'm only active since last week or so

[normal trench]

It worked lol, so instead of staying up late, I just woke up early to play instead before school

I have a couple of hours

[desert ermine]

im starting to build hypertubes everywhere. the near instant travel is too good to pass up.

all it takes for good speed is to stack like 6 entrances at the start

[dense violet]

I mean it's my first language and I hate the conjugation

[robust wigeon]

I learned some basic Latin before learning Spanish and it really helped me. Is French really that different from Spanish? I figured they would be quite similar, not interchangeable, but close enough... hmm

[desert ermine]

french is just weird

[normal trench]

I managed to cut down on like 400 iron and 240 copper

But it uses a funky amount of coal

[robust wigeon]

pretty much anything over 250 characters in a channel where median message length is between 50-100 is gonna get a lot of people thinking it's ai-generated

people tend to immediately go in slightly disagreeing with long statements (especially if they're not instantly friendly) before even reading them, and that bias does a lot:

• it further justifies people not actually reading the message, as it's long, perceived as probably boring or not worth reading, and they probably won't derive any sort of support from it anyway, so why bother?
• it helps push people to condemn the message as wrong or invalid without actually refuting it, and the easiest and most convenient way to do that is by just calling it "ai slop"
• back to the first bullet point, it makes people unlikely to check if it's actually ai-generated or not, because it's more convenient to them if it really is ai-generated, and checking would risk disproving this, and they are not inclined to give the long message a fair judgement

i could go on, but i think you get the idea, many/most people really seem to hate long messages and will go out of their way to condemn them in any way they can, and ai accusations are the easiest way to do that

[normal trench]

And has some really funky clocks

[normal trench]

Ai slop

:)

[robust wigeon]

how did you know??!?!11

[normal trench]

lol

[karmic veldt]

I don't know I was bad in spanish aswell lol

[karmic veldt]

tl:dr

[robust wigeon]

i can't agree with this though, i have run into actually really fun and interesting (largely) ai-generated songs that have stuck with me just as well as human-made songs, @minor rock absolutely has a point

not all ai-generated stuff is garbage, if you value the quality of the songs you're judging, you'll find that ai-generated songs can be perfectly adequate if not quite good

if you just want to hate ai or you "value human expression over song quality" (which i personally think is just an unfalsifiable statement most people fall back on as an indestructible if probably false argument to justify hating ai), then don't listen to it, and my legitimate condolences for any damage it's doing to human-made work you may enjoy (as i won't deny that this damage does exist, it just doesn't mean ai stuff is inherently bad - if we had better societal and economic systems in place, this damage would be negligible)

this isn't to say i hate human-made work, almost all of the stuff i regularly listen to is made entirely by humans (most dates back to before ai generation of songs was really a thing), i just think the ai hate is wildly overblown

[robust wigeon]

long message = people will accuse it of being ai-generated

but you knew that

[karmic veldt]

(joking, yeah imagine the amount of neurons you have to activate at the same time to be able to write a longer than 100 characters message, it's hard to imagine people can think and use a bit of their without being forced to)

[karmic veldt]

lol you took the tldr seriously haha

[robust wigeon]

the reaction stands

[karmic veldt]

Therefore it's more simple to just insult people to get them to shut up

[robust wigeon]

crazy fr

yeah most people do fall back on that

[minor rock]

Gonna have to do a mod that adds AI music into the video game for ambience, don't worry though i'll make sure we have the licence so they can put it into the actual game

[normal trench]

NO

[karmic veldt]

Full context is needed here

[minor rock]

ChatGPT pretty good at hacking the mainframe so its the best for mods tbh

[normal trench]

NO

You better be joking

[karmic veldt]

that was no the first instance of this guy trolling yesterday

[minor rock]

I'm not though

[karmic veldt]

that was the third

[minor rock]

SML will make it pretty easy

Modpack support is coming soon enough, so ill be abls to slip in my ai soundtracks with noone noticing

[karmic veldt]

Maybe i'm too dumb to not appreciate the art and this guy is just roleplaying the antechrist of marketing agents of IA services

Is this theatre ?

[normal trench]

bro what are you on
are you in crack again

I thought we talked about this

[minor rock]

What ??

[robust wigeon]

"hacking the mainframe"...? 💀

im all for making a mod that generates ambient music based on your surroundings and situation and stuff

that sounds cool

[minor rock]

Yeah i guess its illegal to talk about ill stop my bad

[robust wigeon]

i mean, Helldivers 2 already is very well known for mashing different segments of music together and dynamically switching which is playing/dominant depending on your situation

it doesn't use ai, but it could be improved with ai

[minor rock]

Voicelines could be done well on the fly, prob still prebake the audio for performance

[robust wigeon]

"voicelines could be done well on the fly" Arc Raiders:

[minor rock]

I'm thinking with the phone equipment that will connect to an ai agent, we can have it readout in ADA voice

Well it doesnt have to be in real time

Generating sounds is much complicateder

[robust wigeon]

i see two main applications of ai in this case:

• pre-generating stuff much faster and easier (and still with a lower quality ceiling) to be pulled from ingame (you can do this without ai, it's just gonna take longer and be more expensive)
• generating stuff on-the-fly ingame (impossible without ai)

[minor rock]

Yeah part of the reason I want an AI summary of your gameplay ready for when you respawn is to use the summary to generate and play a thematically appropriate song, to symbolise the cycle of rebirth

Although most deaths are tragic, a lot is accomplished, and I want to make significant the pioneer martyrdom

[robust wigeon]

🤷 whatever you think sounds neat
satisfactory never struck me as a game of rebirth but it certainly could be played like that i suppose

[minor rock]

Respawns are kinda cheating tbh

[mortal ginkgo]

can you guys stop talking about "randomized yolo algorithm hope it works out bro but call me Intelligence lolbro blz more data centers I need water lolz" for a second please, ty.

[smoky flame]

I downloaded first person driving mod recently, so good

[normal trench]

Ai should stay far away from art

Leave it be

[stark blade]

the onily "ai" that should ever be in satisfactory is ada and whatever the #### is in those nural quantum processors
so i agree with space core on this one

[stark blade]

and in all honesty
ai in my opinion is overreated, expensive, straight up stupid, and is one of the many things making everyone i meet more retarded by the day
so true ai can go fuck itself in my opinion

[normal trench]

If ai made all of art, art becomes meaningless , so thats a good sign to keep it away

[normal trench]

Two things, dont use retarded like that, that is not okay

[stark blade]

and yet one of the many more reasons why its a bad thing

[normal trench]

The second is most ai is fine

Generative ai is bad

[stark blade]

what do u classify as ai though?

because i know many many ppl that call pre programmed bots ai

when they technicialy aint

[junior laurel]

Why are we talking about slop?

[normal trench]

Ai used in screenings to help detect cancer or ai used to do basic repetitive tasks that cant be done by an algorithm is good

[normal trench]

Neural networks

[stark blade]

fair

[stark blade]

but yeah i get that it can actuialy be useful in many aplicaitions however it has so many flaws and things that you can hate

and everyone misusing it for photos thumbnails and the lot

even music bro 😭

not to mention just entire vidieos

[junior laurel]

If I see anything Gen AI I ignore it.
The music is vile. The videos are vile, the voices are a dystopian nightmare.
Now can we move on from talking about the tech cancer?

[stark blade]

someone who agrees with my point

that is at least 2 ppl in this server that hate it

[stark blade]

but yeah we can move on

There are a lot more then two.
I just want the channel to be talking about the game 🙃

#screenshots message

[rigid wedge]

How

[twin parcel]

i guess my phase 4 space elevator factory is power hungry .

[rigid wedge]

I used like 18 000 mw when I finished phase 4

Not meant as comparison but rather I’m curious what u doing

[twin parcel]

i made 4/min propulsion rocket , 5/min assembly director system and 6/magnetic field generator factories .

the nuclear pasta was semiautomated , made 1 nuclear pasta /min that time, now i have shutdown that factory , im gonna make another hmf factory and fused modular frame factory for pasta again later . gonna make 12 pasta /min later .

[zenith pecan]

18000mw, scary low tbh for me, one building in my mass tangle of factories uses 60000.

[twin parcel]

how? wouldnt the paticle accelator nuke ur grid?

unless u handcrafted most parts

[zenith pecan]

Definitely #design-and-architecture message

Hi all. Newer to Satisfactory. What I really love doing is drawing blueprints of designs I think would work and then trying those designs.

I was going to post a photo of a drawing someone made for me to help me understand something, but it's been totally indecipherable to me and I was hoping someone could help me out. But it appears we can't send photos in this channel anyway.

Posted in #1038092680493801533 if anybody wants to help me out.

[toxic lichen]

whats like
a solid amount of smart plates / min ?

(for phase 2)

[twin parcel]

what does ficcit checkmark do?

[twin parcel]

2 / min , once ur at phase 3 , do 20/min or more

[toxic lichen]

sir

thatll be like
500 min
base game
no multi on elevator parts

[twin parcel]

yea should be enough , if u wanna speed run , make 5/min .

[crude canyon]

Depends on how long you want to wait.

I'd say 40 mins is solid waiting time.
Enough time to make some motors or expand power

[toxic lichen]

ive basically started all the expansions and completed them

all milestones, yada yada

its time to tackle the elevator parts

[twin parcel]

but then u will probabaly shutdown that factory and build a bigger one on phase 3/4

[toxic lichen]

perhaps

im bound to wait a while anyways
Since i need 5000 plates
but i want to see how much i can produce reasonably

5/min would be about 16hr 40m

[crude canyon]

Yeah between phase 2 and 3 I forget to do motors a lot of the time

[toxic lichen]

i just need to finish revamping some factories for new input amounts and such

[crude canyon]

Oh 5000 plates?

[toxic lichen]

mhm

playing experimental with a friend

[crude canyon]

Then 500 per min

[toxic lichen]

made all nodes pure for simplicity sake
but 5x elevator parts

[toxic lichen]

25/min needs 400 iron / min
So id need 8000 iron / min for that big man ;-;

[twin parcel]

bruh, did ur friend also increase power consumption multiplier?

[toxic lichen]

i tried to get him to bite for that
he did not ;-;

[crude canyon]

What you'll end up doing is just making some, and while you're making more the some is already putting in work.

you'll prob be done when you reach 100 per min

[crude canyon]

HA

[crude canyon]

Are you using copper rotor and stitched plates?
They're much more efficient

[toxic lichen]

it took a lot of convicing to get him to do at least 5x elevator parts

[twin parcel]

u got plastic unlocked?

[crude canyon]

He's in phase 2

[outer scarab]

is that a mod or something

[toxic lichen]

thats phase 3

[toxic lichen]

nah just experimental version

[outer scarab]

ah

[twin parcel]

hmm alternate recipe for smart plating would be easier , its tough lol

[crude canyon]

You're going to need a lot of power

[toxic lichen]

currently making 3600
planning on 6000

[crude canyon]

And it's a shame coal power can't be put in a blueprint designer

[toxic lichen]

i just put 2 coal gens together in a bp and called it a day

[crude canyon]

Wait you can fit the coal gens in a bp?

I thought they were too big

[toxic lichen]

yea
mk1 bp maker can only fit 3 next to each other

[crude canyon]

Oh that changes a lot of things

[toxic lichen]

but

my coal gens keep turning invisible
but thats not a bp issue
just a bug i believe

just manifold ur way .

[crude canyon]

You're going to need a bunch of power shards

[toxic lichen]

indeed

[twin parcel]

theres 1k around the map , should be enough , delete the blueprint once u have plastic unlocked

[toxic lichen]

we started in the desert
we sucking most of those nodes dry

[toxic lichen]

more

plus slooping slugs

way more

[crude canyon]

You're converting 60 iron into 3 smart plating.
You can output 270 from an iron node
So 12 smart plating per node

You're going to need 40 iron nodes to reach 500

[twin parcel]

reduce to 20 with sloops .

[crude canyon]

Why not using iron alloy

Many less nodes, less truck infrastructure

[twin parcel]

does phase 2 have refineries?

[toxic lichen]

596 Blue bois - 596 or 1192 shards
389 Yellow bois - 778 or 1556 shards
257 Purple bois - 1285 or 2570 shards
so

non sloop - 2659
yes sloop - 5318

[crude canyon]

No

Iron alloy ftw

[toxic lichen]

also remember

got all pure nodes
but max i can pull is 240/min for each

[crude canyon]

Btw what region you in
I'd love to do a game like thay

im from malaysia , rides crocodile to school everyday (joking)

[crude canyon]

I'm in yurop

[toxic lichen]

im from south africa, rides lions to school every day (not joking)

[normal orbit]

slightly incorrect, one slug of each is used for research

[toxic lichen]

and also each initial run through a slooped machine isnt slooped

so theres a small diff
but im t oo lazy to math that

[normal orbit]

thats easily bypassed

[twin parcel]

its fine , used to play games with 70 to 100 ms ping

[toxic lichen]

im used to playing games at 200ms+
:>

[normal orbit]

just craft literally anything else in the slooped constructor first. then just swap recipes

[crude canyon]

That's nothing.
If we played together you'd get 300

[toxic lichen]

even when i swapped it didnt sloop the initial run of a recipe

[twin parcel]

where ur from ?

[crude canyon]

Portugal

[normal orbit]

did you swap by deconstructing it or something?

[twin parcel]

euro , i see

[toxic lichen]

nah
just swapped the recipe

[normal orbit]

cuz i've done recipe swaps a lot and it keeps the slooped status

[toxic lichen]

mine never have
but i only ever sloop slugs tbh

[rigid wedge]

It did

Didn’t blow the fuse tho. Had a few batteries and it was enough

I have not a single time blown my fuse except the radar tower biomass gen I forgor

Big jumpscare

[twin parcel]

it depleted my 50, 000 MW reserves in 30 mins , how big is ur reserve man

[rigid wedge]

I had only 1 running

I take ridiculous amounts of times doing nothing but yapping with the ocd in my head so slow processes are still faster than whatever I’m doing

Building nuclear took me 6 days

And 40 hours

[twin parcel]

that make sense , i was trying to speed run phase 4 with sloops , i thought overclocking and sloop particle acceletor was a good idea .

[rigid wedge]

I used thermal gens for the most time so I made a lot of battery

[normal orbit]

just tested it, works just fine. first run its normal where it lists total and then slooped amount in parathesis, like 1 power shard (2). then once it cycled its 2 power shards without any (). swapping recipes keeps it and no () appear. only way is if i dismantle the constructor and rebuild it, then i gotta do something like biomass to trigger the sloop.

[twin parcel]

and oh boi , i underestimated my reserves

[rigid wedge]

I had like 16 fuel gens, 8 coal gens and rest was geothermal

Tho this run I’m doing this differently

[normal orbit]

why not just make more power?

[rigid wedge]

Coal gens only

[rigid wedge]

Didn’t need more

[twin parcel]

how many rods per min u burn?

[rigid wedge]

I had 12 plants overclocked to 200%

I already forgot most of it

The setup wasn’t even that difficult

I spent maybe 2-3 hours for the logistics and rest was ocding about where to place it

[twin parcel]

#screenshots message

maybe make two different blueprints for this .

[twin parcel]

i spent most of my time troubleshooting what went wrong , since my nuclear plant is backed by multiple modular factories , it was a headache .

[rigid wedge]

That didn’t happen to me yet

Just factory was to small because I forgot something and then had to squeeze more stuff in and big spaghetti explosion

[plain marten]

theres a bug in my game where a weird black box keeps appearing in the constructor animation

[twin parcel]

1.2?

[plain marten]

no im 1.1

[twin parcel]

mods?

[plain marten]

no

[twin parcel]

the black item in the constructor?

[plain marten]

yes

[twin parcel]

bruh thats default animation .

[plain marten]

but it doesnt work properly

[twin parcel]

like how ?

could not get what u saying

[plain marten]

huh its been a problem for a while

i found others noticing the same issue

maybe itll get fixed in 1.2

[twin parcel]

no idea , im in exp 1.2

[desert ermine]

so encased beams just turned basically free for me

i have iron pipes and encased industrial pipe alt recipes

[dense violet]

and by 'free' you mean chews up a ton of iron for no reason?

[twin parcel]

get ready to use pure/leached irons buddy

[desert ermine]

i dont care if its chewing up a ton of iron on the other end of the map and uploading it into dimensional storage for me to use in building

wasnt paying attention and got sucked into one of my hypertubes while walking by

[twin parcel]

i love oil diamonds

[plain marten]

succ

[thick cave]

time to make clusterbombs

:D

[nimble canyon]

Reze or Butcher

[ornate saffron]

Im either going turbo or oil diamonds this playthrough. I have yet to decide

[unkempt blade]

you should use even more iron just to spite him

[dense violet]

pink diamonds , get rid of hte PAs 😛

[twin parcel]

oil diamonds are easier to set up . turbo diamonds is also good , but i dont have factory to make mk6 belt yet .

[unkempt blade]

you should make one factory for each diamond recipe

[gentle shuttle]

guys hide me from the

man

its so boring playing alone

but no one is looking at my post

[dense violet]

most people don't want to play with randos, why don't you respond to other people's posts?

[gentle shuttle]

bc no one responds back

[unkempt blade]

it also looks like he made it 3m ago 🤣

gotta be patient at least

[dense violet]

might have to wait a week boyo

[gentle shuttle]

n o t m y f i r s t o n e

im bored ima go bully some beans

[mortal ginkgo]

you pasted a massive pepe image, thats a big no no

[unkempt blade]

you could probably find IRL friends to play with faster than waiting for #1201555265942724758

[mortal ginkgo]

and also 5 min like brotherman

this ain't league of legends auto queue

[gentle shuttle]

brodie my friends aint paying

40 euros

[mortal ginkgo]

he doesnt have any friends

[gentle shuttle]

i do 😭

im js bored of mc

[mortal ginkgo]

he has friends but they are borked af

[gentle shuttle]

yap

[unkempt blade]

that's fine, just got to school or soccer practice or whatever and start asking who wants to play satisfactory with you

[gentle shuttle]

gng wha

bro i have freinds that play satisfactory

but they are so bad bro they make the most perfect things ever

[unkempt blade]

then why don't you play with them?

help them get better

[mortal ginkgo]

they are bad and make most perfect...?

[gentle shuttle]

cuz im a spagetti builder

[mortal ginkgo]

I mean, "im fairly new" you say

[gentle shuttle]

exactly

soo idk how to make things perfect

[mortal ginkgo]

so you guys should be there to meme, troll, and sometimes build.

it is kinda fitting you too

you need to play solo, work on decorating etc.

[gentle shuttle]

alr mr impure

no..

ill always be a spagetti builder

its js funner

[mortal ginkgo]

wow, low blow

[mortal ginkgo]

he finally accepted his true calling

[gentle shuttle]

yeah

[unkempt blade]

you should probably update your post with the spaghetti building limitation 😛

[gentle shuttle]

nuh

[unkempt blade]

it seems to be really important to what you're looking for

[gentle shuttle]

took u a while to type that

[twin parcel]

i just want to chat with someone while playing , since finding friends is a waste of time , i optimize myself by talking to a wall . (satire)

[gentle shuttle]

might wanna work on ur english

yeah , i dont think anyone will join me , im at phase5 now lol

[karmic veldt]

nut your damn buisness

[primal obsidian]

damn I wonder where they are now

that world was pretty great

nuclear power drones trains one of them made a huge city in the swamp

[twin parcel]

always has been

[primal obsidian]

aww man

both of them were last online 4 months ago

[twin parcel]

i guess u were their filler arc , lol

[primal obsidian]

idfk what this means

[twin parcel]

heard of filler epsiodes ? u are one of the characters thats shows on filler episodes only .

[primal obsidian]

Oh yeah

okay makes sense

I mean if they’re inactive pinging isnt gonna do anything might aswell one of them has a somersloop i need

@glass needle @idle atlas sry for the ping do you guys have a sonersloop

[green fiber]

You can just kill their characters ingame

and loot their corpses lol

[primal obsidian]

ahh well worth a shot

murder it is

[twin parcel]

Use nuclear bomb record how their corpses fly .

[sleek cargo]

is there a vc in this server?

[leaden turret]

nope

[sleek cargo]

damn

[reef basin]

they would require constant moderation, so they were removed

[sleek cargo]

ohh makes sense

this is a large server

[empty bridge]

Hi All. For the last few days afte pressing E and grabbing the contents from my portable miners I'm having to press TAB a couple of times to get clear of the menu. Used to be just pressing E again but its stopped working. Anyone else suffering?

[outer scarab]

no i hit esc

[empty bridge]

I'll try that

[ivory condor]

playing experimental? known bug

[mortal ginkgo]

this is a 1.2 issue and known bug

[empty bridge]

ah..cheers

[dawn mist]

Let's say I have some light mods and would like people to join the game.
Will it auto-download the mods like it does with Satisfactory?

[normal orbit]

no

[dawn mist]

sad

[quick hound]

One time I used so much nuclear nobelisks that I crashed my game.. I think I threw around 3k before Accidentially detonating it

[twin parcel]

wow

[quick hound]

And when I logged back in, it took over 8 hours at 0.2 fps to finish cracking the planet in half

[twin parcel]

i wish they create anti-machine nobelisk and delete factories when nuke them , its fun troll at other player's save .

[mortal ginkgo]

We have it already. It is called "Go to SCIM website, load your save, select an area and choose delete." 😄

[quick hound]

… get this fucker out of here.

[twin parcel]

bro didnt read the 2nd part of the sentence

i see you lurking @mortal ginkgo what did you do now

[abstract heron]

yay my hrs 19,583 hrs on record

btw thats my total hrs

[thick cave]

how many times did bro beat the game

[twin parcel]

dam bro , u should try playing "touch grass" 😂

[abstract heron]

Still working on beating the game working on 100 nuclear pasta per minute

[abstract heron]

Devs know 20krs and then i can ping them mikael and jason said

[thick cave]

the satisfactory grind never stops

[abstract heron]

and btw the 100 nuclear pasta is by hand no overclocking and maybe 200 nuclear pasta idk yet

[crude canyon]

What do you think of dynamic demand in this game

[abstract heron]

i love this game no matter what minus summer due to IRL heat

and when it gets super hot IRL in summer

[abstract heron]

i joined on steam release day

[thick cave]

peak

[abstract heron]

and yes i still love this game

[primal obsidian]

I hate this game

wait wrong game

[desert ermine]

hmm. i found an area with giant craters full of water and lots of pure coal nodes around. guess it's time to build more coal generators.

[abstract heron]

huh why

[primal obsidian]

wrong game I hate the other game

[abstract heron]

Okay

[primal obsidian]

I typed in the wrong server

[spice latch]

what is the best program to use for planing factories?

[abstract heron]

I use Satisfactory calacator

[primal obsidian]

brain or satisfactory calculator

[dense violet]

this took literally 2 seconds to make https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=C4YI8aXyAIYs9ig50Z1K

[abstract heron]

and often Check alts and check that before doing big production

hi cobalt

[dense violet]

just a warning about Satis Calc, it doesn't do the loop recipes very well, and the UI is... sub par

[thick cave]

modeler or satisfactory tools

[thick cave]

but it does have the percentages you should set machines to

so

[dense violet]

so does tools

What do you think it means when it says 3.4 constructors?

[pulsar phoenix]

What is better turbo or rocket fuel for power

[dense violet]

nuclear

you don't need a million generators for decent power output

[primal obsidian]

I love nuclear

[dense violet]

instead of 1000 generators you can have 100 for the same power, it's pretty great

[primal obsidian]

my 240 GW inconsistent nuclear is great but skemtimes it shuts factories down

[proud tinsel]

My first 3 hours in the game and omh this game is sooo gud i can't wait to wake up and continue automating my game lol

[primal obsidian]

when the trains system falls apart

[dense violet]

sounds like you need to fix something 🙂

sounds like it's the trains 🙂

[primal obsidian]

mostly the train system having a few slight issues

(5 train backups)

but it’s not my fault it’s a multiplayer sever i only made a 3rd of the system

[dense violet]

rough. Got multiple trains stopping at 1 station or something?

[primal obsidian]

no just random areas and also everyone went inactive so now I just have a copy of the world

[dense violet]

2 lane system?

[primal obsidian]

yeah

there was me and 2 other people

[dense violet]

well if you need help with it #1038092680493801533 is a good place to start

[primal obsidian]

maybe when I get home I’ll open up my copy of the world

I don’t really know much about trains ive only been using them for like 173 hours

[sleek cargo]

good Lord this aluminum making process is a pain

[dense violet]

you just need 2 or 3 resources + water, what's the issue you're having?

[sleek cargo]

traveling 2km from main base to the nearest bauxite depo then another 1k out for quartz for silica

(im still learning the game so this is all new to me, including efficiently gathering resources)

[dense violet]

well bring the silica to the bauxite, process it, ship the bauxite.

[dense violet]

also a very simple way to recycle the water #1286300794311938099 message

[crude canyon]

Why not making aluminum where the quartz is

[latent prawn]

unlocking the pure aluminum ingot greatly simplifies aluminum by eliminating the need for silica

[sleek cargo]

didnt know i needed it and already am halfway through the process i guess

[crude canyon]

But silica means you get a lot more out of your bauxite

I think the pure scrap is better

[dense violet]

you don't need it, you could jsut use the silica from the Solution and sink the extra scrap

do whatever is easier for you

[latent prawn]

the default ingot recipe makes more, but the silica needed for it is massive, and using sloppy+electro+pure instead of default+electro+default actually makes more ingots

[thick cave]

i have so much i need to do but i just don't have the time for it

[latent prawn]

what's a pretty good way of doing things is to use sloppy+electro+pure (or instant scrap + pure) by default and then situationally use the default ingot where you have silica to boost production.

[reef basin]

there's so much silica that it doesn't really matter tbh

[sleek cargo]

bro what in the world are you talking about 😭

i read the image cobalt sent but i dont really understand it

[latent prawn]

tl;dr: unlock more alt recipes

[reef basin]

there's multiple paths to scrap, and then two recipes to ingot

the two choices are not related though

[earnest condor]

☝️ Scrap and Ingot are completely separate choices.

[sleek cargo]

ive got a lot to learn

[dense violet]

the first bit they were talking about is using 2 ingot recipes

1 that uses the silica the solution makes
1 that uses only scrap so you don't have to bring in more silica

[sleek cargo]

what recipe gives you scrap silica?

[earnest condor]

None of them.

[dense violet]

base solution recipe produces silica

[earnest condor]

Base Alumina Solution has Silica as a byproduct.

[latent prawn]

2 recipes for alumina solution: default, sloppy

3 recipes for scrap: default, electro, instant

2 recipes for ingots: default, pure

instant scrap bypasses the need for the solution intermediate

so for making scrap, you have 5 choices of process (default, default), (default, electro), (sloppy, default), (sloppy, electro), (instant)

then with each of those 5 choices you can use default or pure ingot

[thick cave]

i should probably make an area for quartz stuff like silica, crystal osilators and the box of crystals and whatever else i can make with quartz
however thats behind my list of the following:

1. setup an actually decent 10 encased beams/min factory
2. setup another modular frame factory as the first one is being used to make heavy modular frames
3. setup a cluster bomb factory using my plastic and rubber production area
4. go hard drive hunting to find more alternitve recipes
5. setup a rocket fuel factory when I unlock rocket fuel + blender

[latent prawn]

hsc's are really the only other thing, perhaps circuit board. silica is also used in nuclear, but anything nucler should be a factory feeding nuclear

[thick cave]

i don't have circiut boards unlocked yet so i don't need to worry about that yet

[latent prawn]

you can wait on the oscillators and hsc's for a while, but getting some small production of them up helps

[thick cave]

that's waht i was thinking on doing, like, unlock all of the quartz stuff and just make one giant factory where i cna make it all

[latent prawn]

both quartz and caterium are pretty spread out around the map

[sick crane]

How can I do that I can play a savefile with my friends?

[dense violet]

host multiplayer

or a dedicated server

[sick crane]

I have my savefile on singleplayer how can I change that?

[dense violet]

Host multiplayer game with it
or a dedicated server and invite them

just invite them

[sick crane]

ok

I found it out but it says it will reload but it doesnt

[boreal pewter]

Do you need to power the pumps

[unique trail]

can i make a fundament under a building in the blueprinter?

[boreal pewter]

Or are they 🌠 magic 🌠

[unique trail]

can i plan this?

[boreal pewter]

I approve of this profile picture

[earnest condor]

Pumps require power to push fluids upwards, yes.

[boreal pewter]

NOOOOOOO

wait upwards?

What about horizontally

[earnest condor]

That is the only function of pumps. Moving fluid upwards.

[boreal pewter]

Oh

[earnest condor]

If no go up, no need pump.

[boreal pewter]

So if I wanted it to go sideways

[earnest condor]

No need pump.

[boreal pewter]

I don’t need a pump

[earnest condor]

Aye.

[boreal pewter]

Ok thanks

[earnest condor]

Now.

[boreal pewter]

Also is there ANY faster way to harvest rotors

[sleek flower]

u can go 10 meters up if i remember correctly, from water extractors without additional pumps

[earnest condor]

And unpowered pump will reset the headlift of a pipe to zero.
And there are things you can do with that.

[boreal pewter]

Because they are SO slow

[earnest condor]

Define "slow"?

[boreal pewter]

Me need rotor now

Me have no rotor now

[earnest condor]

Build more buildings to make Rotors.

[sleek flower]

You build big factory now

[earnest condor]

45 iron/min = 4 Rotor/min
Build accordingly.

[boreal pewter]

Is there like a blueprint system so I can steal I mean copy somebody else’s rotor farm

[earnest condor]

This game has farming?

[boreal pewter]

No?

I mean like make

Same thing 🤷

[boreal pewter]

.

[earnest condor]

Farm =/= Factory

Also why steal other build when can make own?

[hollow mountain]

Guys why is transporting liquid such a pain? I was trying to transport nitric acid and the flow rate was so low (it wasnt a heights problem the fluid only moved horizontally)

[boreal pewter]

Me lazy

[earnest condor]

Odd choice of game.

[boreal pewter]

Odd game of choice

[earnest condor]

I reject the premise that this game is odd.

[boreal pewter]

Is there a blueprint system or no

[earnest condor]

Yes, when you get to Phase 2.

[boreal pewter]

What’s phase 2

[earnest condor]

You are playing the game, yes?

[boreal pewter]

Space elevator?

[boreal pewter]

No

[sleek flower]

The thing after phase 1 😏

[earnest condor]

If you don't even play the game, why do you need blueprints for a game you don't play?

[boreal pewter]

I’m at the optometrist

I not at setup

[boreal pewter]

There’s a lot of phases

[earnest condor]

5

[boreal pewter]

Like the HUB and the Space elevator

[earnest condor]

HUB is Milestones.

[boreal pewter]

And a lot of other stuff

[boreal pewter]

Ah

So space elevator

[earnest condor]

Yes.

[remote estuary]

what can i use in biomass burners thats better than biomass

[boreal pewter]

Solid biomass

[earnest condor]

Solid BF is the best fuel for them.

[boreal pewter]

How do I make the special cables for space ele 2

[remote estuary]

tyyy

[earnest condor]

If you need to make "special cables" you're already in Phase 2.

[boreal pewter]

Oh so I already have blueprints

[earnest condor]

You already have the ability to unlock the milestone that gives you BPs, yes.

[boreal pewter]

Oh

[boreal pewter]

.

[earnest condor]

Which sounds like you made the mistake of doing milestones in order...

[boreal pewter]

Yeah

I didn’t

😛

[earnest condor]

🤔

[boreal pewter]

Which one lets me make special cables

[earnest condor]

Then I am confused as to why you can has questions.
Because if you're already reading all milestones in your Phase before choosing which order you do them in, you have the answers to every question you have asked.

[boreal pewter]

This is the last question bro I promise 🙏

[earnest condor]

The one that unlocks Stators.

And I do not mind questions at all.

[boreal pewter]

What’s the name of that

[earnest condor]

It's the "I already know this" followed by a question that you just said you know the answer to that bothers me.

[boreal pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-reverse-smile-ishowspeed-confused-gif-17362243368421867313

[worn oar]

Does this really matter aside from rushing chainsaw, jetpack, hoverpack?

[remote estuary]

is the hoverpack worth it?

[worn oar]

It's only the greatest factory-building tool ever created, that's all.

[boreal pewter]

HOVERPACK???

[remote estuary]

yh

[earnest condor]

In my personal opinion -- not in any way.

[worn oar]

What

[boreal pewter]

.

[remote estuary]

i just got it when i completed phase 4

phase 3 sorry

[dense violet]

its a useful building tool

[boreal pewter]

So I need to do phase 3 of space elevator

[remote estuary]

yh

[boreal pewter]

To get special cables

[earnest condor]

Tier 4: Advanced Steel Production

[boreal pewter]

That one ohhhh

[earnest condor]

But you know this because you said you read the milestones.

[remote estuary]

u tryna make quickwire?

[boreal pewter]

Does that also let me make the special foundation looking things for phase 2 also

[earnest condor]

QuickWIRE had better not be "advanced cables" 🙁

[earnest condor]

I have no idea what these words mean.

[boreal pewter]

Phase 2 of space elevator

What upgrades do I need to make these things

[earnest condor]

Nothing for the Space Elevator needs "Special Foundation"

[worn oar]

...smart plating?

[sick crane]

So my friend is trying to join my save but always when he tries the it says connection to host has been lost what should I do?

[boreal pewter]

The zig zag support

[boreal pewter]

No

[worn oar]

First step would be to check your port forwarding

[earnest condor]

What the 🤬 are you talking about?

[worn oar]

Versatile framework

[boreal pewter]

I’ll send a screenshot when I get home

[sick crane]

what does that mean?

[worn oar]

Look up a port forwarding tutorial. It depends on your router

And firewall

[worn oar]

Versatile framework is from basic steel

[boreal pewter]

I’ll send a screenshot in DMs

[remote estuary]

im excited to get the rifle

[boreal pewter]

RIFLE???

I need to play this game more bro

[unkempt blade]

the rifle is mid, the bonker is peak weaponry

[remote estuary]

does it shout like a rifle too

[earnest condor]

Depends on which ammo type.

[unkempt blade]

no it's more of a patooey patooey sound

[white dawn]

wtb Xeno-bonker

[remote estuary]

ahhhh

[mortal ginkgo]

it looks and sounds like an engineer had to makeshift a rifle and call it a day.

However it isn't mid at all. Especially homming ammo which is 20 per reload instead of 15 the regular.

[remote estuary]

so its not worth is what ur sayin

[unkempt blade]

the bonker + a jetpack makes me feel like a jedi while the rifle just makes me feel like an imperial era storm trooper 🙁

[mortal ginkgo]

I am saying its worth it..............

[remote estuary]

there should be a but in that sentence

[mortal ginkgo]

"HOWEVER It is not mid at all" + all the positive stuff I stated.

I mean, brotherman.

[remote estuary]

fair

[earnest condor]

It's the best ranged weapon in the game.

[white dawn]

"worth it" is in the eye of the beholder, but the rifle's generally seen as the "best" weapon in the game. Folks who like more skillful gameplay may still enjoy using the basher for stuff, of course (and for some enemy types the rebar gun might be preferred depending on player skill)

Homing ammo especially (plus jetpack) generally == "just hold down fire until nothing's moving anymore"

[unkempt blade]

that's what I'm saying. The weapons in order of bestness are...

• basher
• boombox
• nobelisks
• rebar gun
• rifle
• zapper

[remote estuary]

i generally do that

[mortal ginkgo]

This guy woke up today and suddenly decided "I will be wrong with my statements all day long!"

[unkempt blade]

I love you but you can't just say stuff like that without showing us your list of weapon bestness

[mortal ginkgo]

Me too so here it is:

• Homming Rifle
• Cluster Bomb
• Stun Rebar
• Ur mom

[unkempt blade]

she's a real battle axe, she should be ranked higher

[mortal ginkgo]

No, moms are precious so they can only be used as a last resort. I am sure she would scold dem green stingers good and cause them to respawn no more for 5 days!

[fossil juniper]

when will 1.2 come out?

[quasi prism]

Yes

[fossil juniper]

ok thanks! 👍

[white dawn]

Elaborating on Pinco's reply: no release date has been announced. :)

[oblique aspen]

They have mentioned they are stuck in regression hell, so they'll want to give it some more time to fix some

[sick crane]

My friend can for some reason can not enter my savefile it always says yor connection to the host has been lost what should I do (dont say watch a tutorial on youtube they dont work!)

[worn oar]

Have you forwarded your ports and checked your firewall yet?

[sick crane]

what does forwarding mean

guys is 10000 power units at phase 2 good?

[earnest condor]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

[mortal ginkgo]

what is a power unit brotherman

[sterile blade]

1MW

[mortal ginkgo]

how come this community is so good at spawning random shenaningas

[mortal ginkgo]

Its gud.

Hello pioneers

[boreal pewter]

is there no vcs in this server?

[earnest condor]

Nope.

[boreal pewter]

wow

[earnest condor]

Moderating them would be hell. So it is easier to not have.

[boreal pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-boring-weak-melted-ice-cream-gif-17184539

and why dont gifs work

[earnest condor]

Because that could also lead to some horrible outcomes in terms of moderation.

[sleek cargo]

real and true, i was there

[short pecan]

how does one make a server for me and my mate on an existing world

[tawdry zodiac]

How do I make neon lights? someone had like orange neon materials on their base

[clear aspen]

How weird are the people here to have all vc’s removed cause they got tired of moderating it?

[white dawn]

Those are signs -- plop down a sign, delete the text, and set the background to a solid color. Turn the emissiveness up to a value which looks good to you. :)

Note that they only actually illuminate the surroundings if you have the Global Illumination (Lumen) setting turned on, which is an experimental feature

Though signs-as-decoration will look cool even without GI enabled

[white dawn]

I mean, it's because there's literally tens of thousands of people in the server. One "weird" (or, y'know, merely disruptive) person out of 70k can easily make VCs untenable for everyone else.

And literally the only way to properly moderate a VC is to have a team of people literally actively listening in on it 24/7

They never had VCs. not sure why you associate that with people being too weird. Just not an effort they want to manage. One less headache.

[white dawn]

That'd end up being a huge percentage of CSS's entire employee base

Dear Coffee Stain, please let me put GPS collars on my lizard doggos so I can track them on my map.

Thanks!

[white dawn]

Heh, would be a good feature! The place to submit it where devs will see the idea is the Questions site, fwiw

[vagrant thorn]

Thanks for the tip, will do

[white dawn]

(Can also search for existing posts and upvote, which would be more useful than having duplicate posts)

[sturdy skiff]

Why do the lifts not work?

It;s all powered and stuff but it isnt working

[white dawn]

Would probably be helpful to create a #1038092680493801533 thread and post screenshots

[sick crane]

For starting a server what address can I choose it or have I to do something

[ornate saffron]

Pinned in #dedicated-servers is a link to a detailed guide

[ornate saffron]

The modding discord has voice channels if you are starving for that feature

[clear aspen]

I really don’t mind my satisfactory phase has been dead for a decent bit for now

[mighty hare]

Why is it after every Fused Modular frame factory I get the itch to start over?

[clear aspen]

For now it’s Kerbal space

[sick crane]

Hello im am trying for an hour to get something to work

[ornate saffron]

My question is wht would you have more then one? I have one dedicated fused frame factory for personal use. The other locations that have fused frames are part of a larger build. I make the frames on location where they are needed

[ornate saffron]

Im taking a break and playing more brain dead games as work is picking up

[clear aspen]

I see

[sick crane]

HELLO

[ornate saffron]

This is not a question its a statement. If you require assistance make a post in #1038092680493801533 and wait until someone chooses to help. ^-^

[fiery root]

Forgive me for i have sinned
I am found guilty for the grave sin of being lazy. I didnt optimize my factory for at least a day

[mighty hare]

I don't think there's enough Aluminum for me to do more than one 60pm FMF factory. But I've made 4 now on four seperate saves and everytime after I finish it's like..."I could have done this better..."

[ornate saffron]

Ive never needed that many at one time. For personal use .5/min is enough.

[mighty hare]

I like building big things

[unkempt blade]

yeah 60 is a ton

[earnest condor]

What else are you spending it on? Because I build 90/min usually.

[ornate saffron]

I get that, but your feeling of defeat or needing to start over is self inflicted lol.

[mighty hare]

90 sounds like the entire maps Aluminum Supply... even with the Alt.

[earnest condor]

It is not.

[mighty hare]

What's the Aluminum ceiling again?

[earnest condor]

Variable now that we can print Bauxite with SAM and also have somers to duplicate production if wanted.

[mighty hare]

Yeah I guess somering on the smelters would be super cheap.

[earnest condor]

Baseline is 12300 Bauxite -> 24600 Scrap -> 16400 Ingots

[mighty hare]

Not what I would want them for mind you

[earnest condor]

If you're using Smelters that's why you have less.

Pure Ingot is just "I want less Ingots."

[mighty hare]

Max requires sulfuric acid alt right?

[earnest condor]

No.

[mighty hare]

Just normal?

[earnest condor]

Sloppy + Electrode is tied with Instant.

Scrap and Ingot are completely separate parts of the chain.

[mighty hare]

Yeah

[earnest condor]

Sloppy + Electrode and Instant are tied for best Scrap conversion.

Then you go to Ingot.
Pure Ingot is "I want less, but simpler."

[mighty hare]

I guess I didn't realize just how inefficient Slopectrode was.

[earnest condor]

What?

"Tied for best" === INefficient??

[mighty hare]

Nevermind, I'm using the right process, I'm just gated by Mk5 belts still

Either way. 60pm FMF is fine for the PCCs I want to make for the moment. It's just weird. Every time I finish that project I want to start over.

[earnest condor]

FMF isn't really a project for me.
Because to make 90 it's just "ship in 90 HMFs from over there, add additional resources, done."

If you're trying to go from 0 to FMF without shipping completed HMFs in, yeah I can see that being draining.

[mighty hare]

It not even draining. I don't know what it is.

More a compulsion. I should just focus on finishing my vertical oil procesing project.

[white dawn]

I mean 60/min FMF is a reasonably large buildout. It's pretty easy to finish all the game's milestones/elevators/etc with far less than that

Makes sense to want to take a break after a big project. :)

[abstract heron]

Hi y’all

Ending now with 19,587 hrs on record

[mighty hare]

Hell yeah brother.

[abstract heron]

Working on. 20khrs

[abstract heron]

Working on things in game

[unkempt blade]

more!!!

[abstract heron]

Working on jt hut had to do a irl thing

[unkempt blade]

understandable, gamer buckets have to be emptied before the poop overflows

[minor rock]

AI

✨️

[abstract heron]

I’ll get 20khrs maybe not during summer time due to irl heat

[earnest condor]

@coarse path that is Johnny.

[abstract heron]

I hate playing the game in summer

[coarse path]

who is johnny?😭

[earnest condor]

Johnny the Jetpack Hog.

Only way to acquire a Jetpack prior to Phase 3.
Has a 1/1000 spawn chance every time the game spawns an Alpha Hog.

[hollow turret]

Bonk

Hi chat

[sudden current]

Hello!

[abstract heron]

@hollow turret ooo

[thick cave]

Peak

[coarse path]

Haha thats so cool

[latent prawn]

until he charges you and blows up

[quiet mortar]

Im here guys you can all sotp worrying now

damn

[thick cave]

Who are you

[quiet mortar]

The gaot

[earnest condor]

The Fish*

[surreal solstice]

WHY ARE THERE NO HALF WALLS FOR HALF FOUNDATIONS

[tall lantern]

fsih*

[earnest condor]

Beams.

[surreal solstice]

huh

[earnest condor]

I believe in your deductive reasoning skills.

[quiet mortar]

just nudge normall

[surreal solstice]

i dont see any beams in walls or anywhere in the build menu

[compact knot]

build a wall made of beams

[earnest condor]

Then you need to unlock beams from the Shop.

[surreal solstice]

thc

thx*

[native isle]

how do pumps even work

[tall lantern]

set a new height limit for fluids that reach it

[mighty hare]

Its called a pillar

[earnest condor]

If fluid need go up, place pump and add power.
If fluid no go up, no need pump.

[native isle]

but does it also "suck" from the other side? Because my pipes before the pipe even comes into play are also suddenly full

[mighty hare]

No no no. Gravity is a lie.

[earnest condor]

Only when dealing in gas.

[surreal solstice]

im jjust gonna find a mod pillars and beams r so ugly

[mighty hare]

then anything goes

[plucky bone]

Anyone know of a decent splitter calculator by number not ratio?

My brain hurts today.

[tall lantern]

what's the difference?

just sum up the outputs, that's your denominator

[plucky bone]

I guess laziness today for some reason. Usually I just do the math in my head but it's got . points in it. Grr.

[tall lantern]

also, any particular reason not to just manifold it

[native isle]

is there any movement tech to get around better

[tall lantern]

lots, as you progress

[plucky bone]

Manifolds aren't allowed in my world unless needed.

[tall lantern]

rekt

[plucky bone]

Maybe on an output.

[native isle]

any on foot tho? Does slide cancel work lol?

[tall lantern]

blade runners exist

[plucky bone]

Yes there is a good combo. Blades and Jpack once you unlock it.

[native isle]

will take me a while tho </3

[plucky bone]

But honestly learning slide jump timing is key

[earnest condor]

What are you trying to split?

[native isle]

whats that

[plucky bone]

run slide jump and when you land jump again.

[lofty oyster]

did fluids get an update?

[tall lantern]

no

[earnest condor]

The way UE5 movement works is that your momentum is conserved while you are in the air.
This game as a slight "speed up" when you slide.
So if you time it correctly, you can continually gain speed by sliding and jumping immediately.

[lofty oyster]

hmm ok then its definitely user error then thanks

[plucky bone]

I am trying 3 from 60 I think. I can do it was just wondering about a calculator for later things like my circuit board line. Ucky.

[earnest condor]

You're trying to split exactly 3 off from 60?

[plucky bone]

I gotta check but yes I think 60.

[abstract heron]

Are my hrs good

[tall lantern]

no

[abstract heron]

Why no

[lofty oyster]

im having issues where I feel like my pipes are connecting I have a full pipe on the bottom even if I have a pump it doesnt fill my entire network

[earnest condor]

Hmmm. I would do that with a smart splitter, personally, but 🤷‍♂️

[tall lantern]

why yes

hours played are a meaningless number

[earnest condor]

How much are you trying to push through the pipe?

[abstract heron]

There still a number

[tall lantern]

so is 73

which also isn't special

[lofty oyster]

18.75m

[plucky bone]

I'll probably just bite the bullet and make room. Size is a small issue so maybe I'll just expand.

[earnest condor]

Would need pictures to properly diagnose then.

[lofty oyster]

I just have one refinery for jetfuel

[earnest condor]

Assuming you mean Turbo.

[lofty oyster]

or yeah turbo fuel

[plucky bone]

I have seen floor hole pipe connections and some junctions build correctly but not flow. A dissasemble and rebuild helped them.

MK 2 pipes*

[lofty oyster]

I did that and Im using mk 1 pipes and its just not flowing

[abstract heron]

U doing power from mk2 pipe and its turbo fuel

[earnest condor]

Yeah, need picture.

[lofty oyster]

how do I take screenshots while in a ui?

[abstract heron]

I do 600 divided by the number for fuel gens

P and then click

[earnest condor]

Windows?

Flag + Shift + S

[tall lantern]

or alt-prtscn

[lofty oyster]

I do flag shift s and it doesnt like it it freaks out

[earnest condor]

If you want entirety of all monitors, yeah.

[tall lantern]

nah that'd be plain prtscn

alt only does the focused window

[earnest condor]

Snipper lets you grab specific stuff, so it is my preference.

[plucky bone]

Windows key and print screen too. But it does copy all your screen.

[tall lantern]

yeah, snipping tool's my preference for more targeted grabs

alt-printscreen for whole-window

[earnest condor]

I always forget the actual name is "Windows Key" LOL

[abstract heron]

We need a satisfactory kahoot

[earnest condor]

Because go look at their 90's logo and you'll fully understand why I have always called it "Flag" 😄

[crude canyon]

So when you make a part for storage, but need more for other parts (like RCUs)
Do you build the whole new part, or do you expand the part you're building and develop from there?

[earnest condor]

Build new.

[plucky bone]

It even flapped in the wind.

[tall lantern]

same thing really, only difference is proximity

[earnest condor]

Although at your level it's slightly different.

[crude canyon]

Yeah the levels of RCUs needed is always... Yes

[earnest condor]

Like in Phase 1-2, I build completely new lines and do not touch existing "for storage" lines.
In Phase 3-5, I have a "this amount is specifically for storage" built into the setup.

[crude canyon]

What do you think of mods Sev?

I recommend you the skyblock mod. It really made me build things in a different way

[abstract heron]

Sky ui maybe

Or pak mod

[crude canyon]

No, it's a mod that takes off the whole map and lets you put nodes wherever you want

[abstract heron]

Ik but day time is worth it

[crude canyon]

Tru

[earnest condor]

My opinion on them is so negative I was forbidden from explaining it again on this server by the moderators 😄

[crude canyon]

Well the fun thing about the skyblock mod was putting the end first, and figuring out where the nodes go last

I never had done that before

[lofty oyster]

sevrahn I just put two photos into screenshots

[earnest condor]

Was fighting creatures, looking now.

You need a pump.

[lofty oyster]

haha all good

[earnest condor]

12m incline, 10m headlift from building.

[lofty oyster]

I had a pump and it was doing nothing but let me try adding it back

[earnest condor]

Make sure you power it 😄

[abstract heron]

And then hope it works or swear at it

[lofty oyster]

it was powered now it works but for some weird reason it just wasnt putting fuel into the pipes

[earnest condor]

I would say flush the system just to be sure.

[abstract heron]

Did u swear at it

[lofty oyster]

check screenshots again

I just added that pipe

[mortal valley]

dude icl.... does someone have a decent amount of spare time? I just got the game and Ive been watching a ton of youtube videos but for some reason I can't get what im building to work, and if theres anyone that has the time to teach me/call/yap id be very appreciated Dx this shi tuff

[earnest condor]

Ok?

[lofty oyster]

I think the T junctions are bugged at the moment
