satisfactory

[blazing bane]

how so?

[fluid sapphire]

when you are making phase 4 parts for example, its much easier to throw phase 3 parts in boxes as opposed to building a bigger temporary system

[dusk trellis]

Im so glad I automated reinforced iron plates in my starter, even if it did feel slightly useless. It wasnt haha

Im watching this streamer who didnt and he just spends 10 minutes crafting those plates whenever he needs them

I do have automated smartplating and versatile frames rn, but they are going straight to the sink now lmao

[earnest condor]

Play on 100x where it is mandatory and not a waste 😏

[fluid sapphire]

good luck to that person, they are gonna have a real fun time with that strategy

the whole game will be handcrafting

if they dont even automate reinforced plates, not gonna be a fun stream

[blazing bane]

i just put the constituent parts in a storage container and feed them into their assemblers/manufacturers/etc until it's full. Saves a ton of time/resources/power, i wouldn't call it dividends really

[dusk trellis]

He keeps saying hell redesign it at some point but he is about 30 hours in now and still has to start on it

[fluid sapphire]

past a certain point, if you are lacking for power, thats kind of a problem you have created for yourself

automating elevator parts is not really power intensive

[blazing bane]

Not really, it's just not necessary to automate the entire process from ore to elevator part, at all

[fluid sapphire]

resources are not in short supply

if you are building temporary stuff, you are building stuff to make those parts anyway, whats the advantage of making it temporary?

[blazing bane]

i'd rather spend my time building factories for parts i need to advance tech than one time use parts for an elevator i can just use storage to make quickly

[dusk trellis]

But how about exploring the map and seeing the number of elevators parts slowly climb up while knowing it had to pass through a ridiculous amount of machinery

[normal orbit]

elevator parts is usually just another machine among the rest

[fluid sapphire]

diverting small amounts of resources from existing factories to make elevator parts is pretty easy though

[blazing bane]

Aside from "because i want to/it's fun for me," which is absolutely your prerogative, i see no point in making elevator parts from ore to final product

[fluid sapphire]

sink points

they are some of the best points sources in the game

[blazing bane]

eh, i use sink manifolds along my entire storage, i'm never short on tickets

[fluid sapphire]

until you want the golden nut, bet

[blazing bane]

we're arguing preference tbh, there's nothing wrong with either way

i'd just rather spend my time on other things

hand crafting everything without any automation sounds like a sisyphean punishment tho

[fluid sapphire]

fair enough, i am here to automate stuff

[fluid sapphire]

thats a playthrough that will surely take thousands of hours

[dusk trellis]

Im curious how long ittl take to finish the elevator by handcrafting everything possible, and if not possible 2 storage containers connected to the machine

[fluid sapphire]

handcrafting reinforced plates 30 hours in lmfao

[blazing bane]

well elevator parts CANT be hand crafted so he won't have a choice but to do at least SOME automation there, even if it's just containers into assemblers

[dusk trellis]

I dont think I have that in me

[blazing bane]

it's literally not the game to play that way

and i can't imagine it's fun

[dusk trellis]

I already hate hand crafting 50 motors ahah

[reef basin]

automate

[normal orbit]

then automate?

why are you playing an automation game and not automating?

[fluid sapphire]

ahh if only we could automate

[dusk trellis]

Just finished the line yesterday im so glad with that. we were talking about some streamer handcrafting all reinforced plates 30 hours in tho

[blazing bane]

i rush mk2 belts and never hand craft again unless it's for extreme convenience somehow

[reef basin]

sink points

[blazing bane]

not worth it to me, i'm never short on sink points

[normal orbit]

1.2 elevator modifyer game mode gives you a good reason to automate

[wet moon]

if i stand at the edge of my factory, facing away at the nature, I get about 80-90 FPS, but as soon as i turn around, even if i cant see much, my FPS will drop to ~50. BUT, if i fly up and get as much of my factory in view as possible, il get a grand total of 40 FPS D:

[blazing bane]

much render, very wow

[quaint cedar]

I just got trains and turned them on
I've never spent half an hour above a train before

[blazing bane]

i've still never used any method of resource transport but belts XD

no trucks, trains, or drones to be found

[quaint cedar]

same but they r too slow for me lol

[dusk trellis]

Im dedicated to use the trains. Im about to unlock them and am very intimidated

Upscaling conveyors absolutely suck tho, i feel like ittl be worth it

[normal orbit]

trains are great fun

[blazing bane]

i think for me it's trying to figure out a use case for any of it

[quaint cedar]

everything is too far and I can't automate heavy modular frames or computers so they might help

[dusk trellis]

And 2km belts are not 💀

[blazing bane]

i tend to build all my factories as self contained so they don't NEED anything transported to them

unless a resource node is super far away i guess

it would mostly be an aesthetic choice to get rid of my skyway belts lol

[quaint cedar]

I wish
I hate transporting items but everything is so far💔

[dusk trellis]

I placed my steel factory in the worst place possible in hindsight. Im planning to use the trains for iron and coal transport to it on a singular line.
Just to get the hang of it

My belts for that factory are 15km in total I think. It sucks

[blazing bane]

yeah i think for me having all my factories self contained and one of every item having an output

the only thing a train would do would be to bring far away raw resources to the factory

[quaint cedar]

rebuild it (evil intentions)

[blazing bane]

but that's what the belt does already and that's less complicated

[dusk trellis]

I feel the main advantage gonna be in the upscaling

[quaint cedar]

I hate messy belts honestly so Ill stick to trains

[dusk trellis]

Place a new train on the track vs having to build a new 10km of belts

[normal orbit]

yep

[dusk trellis]

Its functioning good enough, only the ore and coal input are an absolute nightmare to do with belts

[leaden turret]

@obsidian zodiac tinfoil hat theory says you're not busy, but actually hoping will go away 😛

[lost oasis]

Hey guys, my game keeps crashing idk what to do

[green fiber]

#1038092680493801533 make a post with crash report

[earnest condor]

Going to go out on a limb here and say people need more information than "game crash" and suggest making a post in the channel McGalleon recommended while I was typing this.

[green fiber]

Saying it keeps crashing isnt enough to help you

[lost oasis]

Thanks

[sudden current]

Good morning from Indiana, USA, Pioneers.

Challenging myself by starting a new run where I build compact factories instead of large-scale juggernauts, while also maintaining efficiency

Started in Northern Forest for the first time to force my self to use smaller spaces for stuff.

[weak axle]

When you get to nuclear power, there's some good stackable options

[sudden current]

I'm very excited! Do you have a build or BP you'd like to show me?

[sick crane]

How many generators can you power with 200m³ turbofuel (donno where to find that on satisfactory calculator)

[sudden current]

I'm about to finish my first compact factory. I did very well. It's very, very basic since I'm early game and have been wasting a lot of time testing space options.

[normal orbit]

26 and 2/3rds

[weak axle]

I used the blueprint that's on the Uranium Fuel Rod Fandom page

[sick crane]

Okay

thanks

[sudden current]

I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

[normal orbit]

Wouldn't use fandom since it's outdated and just often wrong

[fluid sapphire]

wrong place to look, wiki can help with stuff like this

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> I notice how there's space in the desert for the date to be changed to June 23rd 😛

[unkempt blade]

entirely ingame:

1. open the fuel generator. There's an icon over the fuel slot you can click to see each fuel's burn rate
2. open ingame search and type "200/7.5" (in this case) into the search field

[sick crane]

okay

forgot the burnrate

[unkempt blade]

yeah the wiki is a great place for this info too in this case you just have tools ingame if you want to use them that way 😄

[obsidian zodiac]

i would never

[leaden turret]

there's also room for the date to be changed to June 12th

[normal orbit]

June 2 - 2027

[leaden turret]

ah yes, plenty space in the desert for a year to be added

[twin parcel]

there is a map expansion?

[leaden turret]

referring to release date announcement #announcements message

[dusk trellis]

If I squint my eyes just enough im pretty sure itll be changed into may 20th

[obsidian zodiac]

uzu would kill me

[tall plover]

change it to may 19th instead then

[chilly oyster]

and it's 1% for about 30 mins already

[true mulch]

thank goodness the year is not specified

[fluid sapphire]

sir, this is a wendy's

[tall plover]

forza is just downtime, youre on the factory discord

[true mulch]

ah nvm it is in the video

[leaden turret]

steam will patch stuff seemingly at random, sometimes is actual patch, sometimes is precompiled shaders

[true mulch]

too bad

the description is conveniently vague

[leaden turret]

@obsidian zodiac will there be an elevated one highlights segment on the launch stream?

you'd be better off in #off-topic-tech cos it's a non-satis issue you're having

[twin parcel]

hmm why trains though? did they do any adjustment to the trains other than painting rails?

[green fiber]

fluid cars can hold more

[twin parcel]

how much?

[green fiber]

from 2400 to 3200 i think

[twin parcel]

which has higher capacity ? fluid trucks or fluid trains?

[earnest condor]

Truck. But capacity is not what matters. Throughput is.

But truck also wins in that category 😄

[patent olive]

When I use H to lock a hologram, if I hover over a conveyor lift it unlocks and snaps to the lift. Is there a way to disable this?

[inner horizon]

Whwn you progress past fule power to nuclear power is thair really a reason at all to bother with most fluid trains?

[twin parcel]

dam i realized i lost my stuff in my inventory when i switch pc's and laptop today

[green fiber]

theres a bunch of other fluids other than fuel and oil

[twin parcel]

sulphuric acid , water , alumina solution , nitric acid.

[inner horizon]

I know but other than fuel iv never needed to transport mass quantities on trains
Uts usually easier to process them nearby the nodes into more usable components

[green fiber]

tbh even transporting fuel is weird

[twin parcel]

i transport packaged crude oil using drone due to the compactness of crude oil

[green fiber]

but whatever. your factory so if you can find a use for moving fluid then thats good for you

[inner horizon]

Yea i just use packagers for sulphuric acid its just genuinely faster and easier

[sudden current]

Side belts coming off a manifold line only need to be equal to or great than machine input, right?

[green fiber]

at minimum, yes

[sudden current]

*greater

[dense violet]

you may want to just use your fastest belts always though, less chance of making a mistake and buliding a low mk belt somewhere where you need a high mk one and have to go over your whole factory later to find it

it happens a lot honestly

[sudden current]

I just don't have the resources for it yet

[dense violet]

up to you. Automate more belt parts 🙂

[dusk trellis]

I like seeing items on belts so I always use the lowest tier possible lol

[twin parcel]

do they have plans to add new phase for space elevator or they just gonna add more q.o.l until 2.0 ?

[sudden current]

Coffee Stain doesn't have a public roadmap

[white dawn]

There are no plans to add new phases/milestones/resources/etc, outside of hypothetical "DLC" or "Satisfactory 2" or whatever type things, which have not been announced or even hinted at

[dusk trellis]

I like how factorio space age did it. Something similiar for statisfactory would be awesome but we'll see

[twin parcel]

well , u see , its a 2D game , they have more room for optimizations compared to a 3D game like satisfactory .

[dusk trellis]

I dont think thats allthat relevant for the scope of a project unless your talking about technical debt or a generally really unoptimized game which I dont think applies too statisfactory

[slender scarab]

hello got a question, i had a chest in my hub containing all kind of stuff, and i just wanted to reabse my hub, so i destroyed it without taking back the items, are the items destroyed? i don't see any items container around

[green fiber]

they are in your pockets

[slender scarab]

if my inventory was full at that time

[green fiber]

then it must create a box

[slender scarab]

it didnt

[green fiber]

what items were in that chest before you dismantled it

[slender scarab]

blue slugs, yellow slugs, mercer spheres, all kind of unique thigns

and i placed foundation where my previous hub was, so i don't think there was a box there

[green fiber]

do you already have some chests on the map

somewhere near or far

[slender scarab]

yes

[green fiber]

specifically those chests that appear when you dismantle stuff

[slender scarab]

i checked inside and there's nothing

oh no, i just had some chests i placed myself

[green fiber]

the game likes to merge contents of these "dismantle chests" (the ones that only appear when you tear stuff down)

if theres one SOMEWHERE in your area, it might merge them

check on your ingame map and compass

[slender scarab]

can i send you a dm to show you a screen of my map ?

okkk it did merge with one on my map

ty !

[native tapir]

DLC has been hinted at repeatedly though

Dev streams and in one of their youtube videos early this year I believe. They dropped some strong hints about dlc.

[near frost]

yay 1.2 is in 2 weeks yeppie

[lean saddle]

short question could i use the radio tower to reveal a large portion on the map?
rather then i would have to run trough a entire biome to reveal it on the map

[sour brook]

the radio tower helps to reveal where are the nodes such as copper and iron, it also helps to tell if there are hard drives and spheres and somersloops but doesnt show the exact location of those items, you can construct the tower and give it power and will show the stuff, not sure how much area covers but i suggest putting far enough that 2 radio towers' area doesnt overlap with the other

[normal orbit]

yes, they reveal a radius around them

[dense violet]

you'll need some overlap as they are circular

[lean saddle]

ah thx i just wanted to open up a portion on the map rather then focusing on the resources
didn't want to bother drowning the #1038092680493801533 for a simple yes or no

[normal orbit]

they also show nodes and all collectables in that radius

or rather how many collectables

[lean saddle]

i know that i have a single tower but no resources to make more atm in the process of moving places

[echo burrow]

why are the locomotives in the new video’s thumbnail at the rear of the trains

[restive umbra]

why not

[green fiber]

its a nonfunctional circle track with no stations

so not like autopilot has anything to complain about because it wouldnt even turn on properly

[sudden current]

Do you guys ever get weird manifold efficiency issues when you don't run you input and out lines in opposite directions?

[normal orbit]

no? direction doesnt matter

[lost oasis]

Whats the god damn button to switch between hypertubes?

[restive umbra]

e

[lost oasis]

On xbox controller

[sudden current]

it always seems to happen that my last two machines in a manifold run at 48-52 percent when I run the lines the same way. I've thorougly checked the belts and mergers this time. I do have a lot of mismatches between the side and main belts, but all of the side belts are faster than the input speed of the machine they're heading into, so I really don't have any other explanation for it.

[dense violet]

wdym 'mismatches between side and main' belts?

[sudden current]

My main belt is mk.2 and the side belts coming off the manifold are mk.1

[normal orbit]

ngl, if they run at ~50% you've not math'd that right

[dense violet]

that doesn't change anything

[dense violet]

you likely have a low mk piece of belt hidden somewhere

follow the problem backwards, see if your producers are clogged and stuttering?

[sudden current]

I really have this time though, and I'm willing to show anyone who doesn't believe me.

[dense violet]

follow the problem backwards

[abstract heron]

<@&370483737957236737> yay A VIDEO and oo 1.2 coming on June 2nd and getting there 19,647 hrs on record and how do you peeps cool off in the summer? at the office and Happy Tuesday

[dense violet]

your producers will be clogged if that's the case

[restive umbra]

We’re not the ones you need to convince 🙂

[dense violet]

You either have a math issue or a throughput issue

[sudden current]

My miner is clogged.

[dense violet]

sounds like you have a flow issue somewhere

[sudden current]

idk why it only runs at 75 efficiency

I mean, I'll look again

[dense violet]

you likely have a low mk belt hidden inside a splitter

[normal orbit]

you prob have a lower tier belt limting it then

[dense violet]

don't put splitters directly onto belts

and if you do, rebuild all the connections immediately

[sudden current]

Why?

[dense violet]

because you can get hidden bits of low mk belt inside that don't get upgraded

[dense violet]

similar with pipes , if you build junctions or pumps directly on the pipe, rebuild the connection, you can get weird flow issues otherwise

[sudden current]

But if you make the mk 2 belt and then place the splitters, there can't be mk.1 belt? It's not an upgraded line. I only placed mk.2's

[dense violet]

couldn't tell you, I'd rebuild the whole thing if you put splitters directly on the belt

[sudden current]

I'll redo the belts again to be certain

[dense violet]

you're also building mk1 belts as inputs, it's likely you accidentally built the wrong mk on the main line

[dense violet]

put teh splitters down first

[sudden current]

It's not always possible when using clips to build, but i understand your point

[dense violet]

build objects under neath first

[earnest condor]

🖇️

[dense violet]

like foundations or other splitters you build on top of

[sudden current]

Boundary clipping, not visual

[earnest condor]

Fair.

[dense violet]

leaning how to build extra objects to properly place items is an important skill in this game

[earnest condor]

Curious for a screenshot example of a time when a splitter cannot be placed first?

[dense violet]

if you ever see a fancy build, you can assume the person actually built like 5x the number of objects to place everything right and deleted most of it immediately after

but I'm going to bed, gl with the throughput issue 🙂

[echo burrow]

thanks to nudging that often isn't necessary anymore

that said, I still often build extra objects instead of nudging because it's faster or more intuitive

[sudden current]

I'll try to remember when I need to do the setup for my next build. Essentially you can clip a merger/splitter visually through a lift and perpendicular belt that puts the mergers in just such a way that it appears to be visually flush with a machine and thus taking up no horizontal space and minimal vertical space.

I've only ever been able to get it to look visually appealing doing it this way.

[earnest condor]

Most every machine has stuff on the output that if you make anything "flush" it is automatically clipping visually into said stuff.

[wispy mulch]

1.2 to include train pathways?!

[earnest condor]

I hope not but it looks likely.

[sudden current]

Right but this particular way I'm describing doesn't do that.

[earnest condor]

Would need to see example 🤷‍♂️

[sudden current]

That's fair. I'll record when I do it again.

[lean saddle]

Ok turns out radio towerd dont need much power either i can just go to a place put a tower down and a biomass burner power it for 2 or 3 seconds before i just break them dowm again ez exploring

[sudden current]

do you guys build your miners on foundations?

[native tapir]

Yes

Personally

[earnest condor]

Never.

[white dawn]

No, personally. :) The miner's extracting minerals from the ground, not from a foundation.

[earnest condor]

I think it looks horrible, personally. 🤷‍♂️

[sudden current]

This is how I did in the past. Trying foundations this run but I don't like the look really.

[lean saddle]

There is no bad or good in this game it's called Satisfactory for a reason

[white dawn]

Yeah, I legit don't understand the desire to put them on foundations. I can "get" basically all other aesthetic choices folks make, but miners-on-foundations are just nonsensical to my brain. Some folks like to do it though! :)

[sudden current]

I do like making the miners perpendicular to the world grid, and the foundations make that really easy.

[white dawn]

Heh, I also personally dislike world grid. :)

[sudden current]

Why?

[earnest condor]

There is no good or evil, their is only MW and those too weak to build it?

[white dawn]

Because it's arbitrary and the map isn't world-grid aligned

[sudden current]

Until I'm president of the world

[white dawn]

I'd much rather build "with" the local geographical features and use a "local" grid for a factory

(or even multiple local grids, if I'm feeling fancy and want angles other than 90°)

[sudden current]

To each their own. I really like lining things up and have a light of straight lines, which you can do without the world grid, but it's so much easier to just snap to it every time.

[lean saddle]

This is what makes this game so great you can just do what ever and others may not like it but you can do as you can

[white dawn]

If I'm ever in the mood to connect disparate factories using foundations, there's a ton of great ways to do so which look more "interesting" to me than world grid, a la: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX_2i8T3Dbw. Though I admit that I practically never actually link up remote factories with foundations in the first place. My rail tends to be of the "disconnected pillar" methodology

[near frost]

I just saw the new 1.2 vid about the release date and the rails were glowing different colors what do you think that is?

Idk at all what might it be

[twin parcel]

You can paint rails , and they some adjustment to trains

[noble ice]

is there a possibility that they add more features in the 1.2 release ? Additional to whats already in the exp. branch?

[twin parcel]

Closed beta testing? Idk

[near frost]

Ya most likely

Why not

[noble ice]

have they done that before?

[near frost]

Tbh idk

But in the new vid they did show a lot of choo choos

[ornate saffron]

They have stated on stream that all 1.2 features are on the experimental branch

[near frost]

So Mabey they will add something to them

[near frost]

Oh then no

[twin parcel]

Just play 1.2 exp if u just couldn't wait

[white dawn]

Given how rocky Experimental has been this time around, I don't think they'd feel like stealth-dropping new features along with the public release

Though I suppose time will tell!

[near frost]

But what about choo choo

[white dawn]

I did think it was interesting how focused that release-date trailer was on trains, given that trains are hardly the focus of logistics updates as far as we know. :)

[twin parcel]

Eh , most bugs are negligible unless u add mods .

[white dawn]

Crash-to-desktop while deconstructing trains is negligible?

[ornate saffron]

You can paint rails metallic colors

[white dawn]

Getting locked out of UI elements because you interacted with a portable miner?

They've acknowledged that it's been a rocky Experimental phase, and they've apparently been stuck in regression hell. :)

[near frost]

Oh ya remember saw that in a vid before

[white dawn]

The "last" experimental patch for v1.2 was supposed to be like 2-3 patches ago

And mods don't enter into it, since mods don't work on current Exp anyway

[twin parcel]

I don't use trains , I dont know about bugs that are related to them , learned the hard way that drone can disappear after certain large numbers like 100+ drones

[ornate saffron]

That is apperently fixed in 1.2

[twin parcel]

When?

[white dawn]

My point remains that especially in light of how the Experimental phase for v1.2 has been, I highly doubt they're "holding back" new features for a stealth-drop on June 2.

[white dawn]

June 2. :) Or on the Experimental branch right now

[near frost]

Butttt nothing confirmed yet

Right?

[twin parcel]

Lesgo , we are so back transporting 5700+ ores using drones. (Jk)

[untold moat]

it may not be an optimal usage, but its still a valid one

[near frost]

Why jk I do that if I can or if my PC can handle it to be cori

[white dawn]

About the current Experimental being feature-complete in terms of what will be dropping with v1.2? Unless the CMs were lying on-stream, no. What's in Exp is what we'll be getting on v1.2 (see: #satisfactory message from just a few minutes ago)

[twin parcel]

My laptop can somehow handle 100+ drones , not sure what is the limit though , I might use trucks (plutonium powered) and transport those ores to the nuclear pasta mega factory

[mint sleet]

are we getting Trian pathing?

[fossil agate]

So i noticed of you build ontop of something then remove the bottome the top stays so will a magically floating hyper tube be a problem lol?

[white dawn]

Well, trains already have pathing; they just take the shortest path is all. :)

[earnest condor]

Nope.

[white dawn]

But no, nothing's been announced, and the CMs have said on-stream that the Experimental branch is "feature complete" in terms of what's coming in v1.2 (and it does not make any changes to train pathing)

[mint sleet]

yeahy but those colour flash things look like the truck rework.

[white dawn]

I agree that it's possible CSS is trolling us in re: Experimental being feature complete, but I'd personally be quite surprised if they stealth-drop that kind of change without any Experimental burn-in

[mint sleet]

i mean its not much different and its only useable on tracks so its exactly the same as trucks now they just are visable and require rails.

[white dawn]

Well, we'll know in a few weeks. As I said before, though: given how rocky this Experimental phase has been, I cannot imagine CSS would be eager to drop changes to a fundamental logistics method with literally no burn-in time on the Experimental branch

I could be wrong!

[tranquil zinc]

2 week until all my mod breaks 🤣. Probably a good time to decompress and take a break from the factory

[abstract heron]

for me its normally heat or mods if i do take a break

[quaint cedar]

what should I automate first in phase 3

[ornate saffron]

Personally I rush oil power production but thats because I strangle myself until then

[quaint cedar]

I'll try, I make like 2 giga wats from 8 coal generators and I'm almost out of power all the time

[ornate saffron]

With heavy oil residue and diluted packaged fuel you get 20gw(i think) per 600 oil. Its been a while

[sterile blade]

||ThEy ClEaRlY dId ThOuGh!
#satisfactory-experimental message||

[quaint cedar]

holyyy
I'll go for it rn and then I'll finally move since I hate my messy base

[ornate saffron]

Yes 20gw thats correct

[quaint cedar]

work

[ornate saffron]

You'll need the two recipes I mentioned. But when you unlock the fuel tech they will be available in harddrives. Just means you get to murder and explore

[quaint cedar]

tysm

[sterile blade]

I think the color-rings going over the rails are ||about rail colouring|| rather than any new train "mechanic" of sorts ^^

[frozen ingot]

are they teasing us about being able to paint rails?

[sterile blade]

||That's already a thing in 1.2||
Well, they haven't mentioned anything about that in videos up to now, so I guess it counts as teasing?

[oblique aspen]

Have they ever done hidden features in the stable version? I still think that would be rather risky with such a big change anyway

[lavish inlet]

What am i supposed to do with the dark matter residue? Is the only option to turn them into dark matter crystals? Right now im just storing it in industrial fluid buffers.

[mint sleet]

then why didnt they just have different coloured rails?

[twin parcel]

Yes , and sink it

[lavish inlet]

Damn i need diamonds for that, such annoying i just want neural computers for the mk3 blueprint designer 😭😭😭

[zenith pecan]

Coal thankfully is abundant.

[lavish inlet]

Holy fully overclocked encoder is 26 GW

thats insane

[normal orbit]

with a sloop in it too

[vagrant garnet]

Is there a way to change who starts the server? my friend own the server but we need to change it i need own the server

[white dawn]

(I think that figure's already with a sloop. :)

[fluid sapphire]

there's an alt that lets you do it without diamonds

[lavish inlet]

Damn really??

[craggy gate]

does anyone know why my water extractors that are attached top my coal generators wont fill? My coal generators have water, but the pumps themselves wont stay full

[ornate saffron]

Find it here.

Then past it in your file folder

#faq message

This is pc. No clue for console

[white dawn]

If you're supplying the coal gens with exactly the amount of water they need, the internal buffers on the water extractors might not ever fill up

The only time the water extractors' internal buffers would fill up is if the water they're producing isn't being consumed at the same rate

It's true that "full pipes are happy pipes," so it might be worth flipping a few coal gens to "standby" mode while the pipes (and, sure, maybe even the Extractors' buffers) fill up

But if the coal gens are working, and getting all the water they need, then you're probably good.

[craggy gate]

gotcha, i have put the generators on stand by and let the entire system fill, but they just end up emmtying again. But ii guess the generstors are running so not a huge deal for now

[abstract heron]

BEEF

[white dawn]

If you're having problems keeping your coal gens supplied, a post in #1038092680493801533 with good pictures is generally the best way to debug it. Remember that you can detach the camera while in photo mode, to get nice overhead shots

i did but didnt work

#1506347472082174142

[unkempt blade]

yaaaay in less than 2 weeks I'll be right about 1.2 releasing tomorrow if we believe hard enough

I love always being right about everything. It's such an empowering feeling

[abstract heron]

still working at the hrs and probbaly 200 nuclear pasta per minute

[ornate saffron]

I saw you say as much in #satisfactory-experimental

June 2nd. Let's fucking goooooo

https://youtu.be/PWd8wHm22LQ?si=dg7LwmKr8VGfzvNK

[abstract heron]

Yes ik but idk which chanel your in and i am hoping that mods are updated by then

and irl heat is not to much yet

[unkempt blade]

I had A/C issues yesterday so I had to turn off my computer because that room was waaay too warm. It made me sad

[ornate saffron]

Real feel 36C yesterday. To much

[unkempt blade]

@obsidian zodiac if you all need an intern to make words with train tracks on a regular basis let me know because I'm looking for a slightly more AI-proof career path to get into

[abstract heron]

and its EVEN MAY

i am going to play until 4-5pm my time due to nearing 30C irl

[unkempt blade]

That's the worst part. Going to be dealing with this or worse for at least another 4mo

[abstract heron]

Due to IRL heat is sometimes i even sometimes even not play as much only on Cool Mornings

and cool Morings when its 20C and feels wonderful before more heat i don't like to do any heavy math

atm high of 28C to hot

Reason why not doing any major math and heavy production @unkempt blade to hot to fricking do anything

[unkempt blade]

seasonal math is a concept I can support even without the heat

[abstract heron]

i have everything on low minus shadows i hate that white box around things when i play stuff when its on low

[cursive topaz]

so its out eh

[abstract heron]

what is out

[cursive topaz]

nvm

june 2

[abstract heron]

its like more cooking pecie of meat at release of 1,2 it was RAW very RAW people testing it and now its nearly done cooking

[hard merlin]

hi

[abstract heron]

hi

[stable geyser]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

[abstract heron]

random

[ornate saffron]

You got 15 days to get in your 195hours if you want to hit 20k for 1.2 release

[abstract heron]

BUT irl temps beef

[hard merlin]

I have created web tool for factory schema generate

[abstract heron]

also its 350hrs ish

But ill see

[hard merlin]

I need help to improve that

[abstract heron]

Like soon irl i have to turn off getting kinda hot ish nearing 30C as day time high for me to day beef

[ornate saffron]

I have a ac unit in my living room. My bedroom entrance is connected to the living room to. So I have those two sections isolated from the rest of the apartment so I can have a ice box

[ornate saffron]

Sucks

[abstract heron]

I currently have 2 fans on and my window open and still feels like a oven

28C atm and i don't wanna be a oven all day beef

but cooler weather tn for me so early tmr morning

[ornate saffron]

Same. We are in a tornado risk right now then tomorrow's high is 13

[abstract heron]

I do love the game but jeez having 29C or 30C and feeling like a oven to play is worst

[verbal roost]

Finally adding trains 🥹

[abstract heron]

and also sleeping at night beef so summer only having the game on 5-10min at best then OFF

[ornate saffron]

Trains are great. But not a MUST have depending on play style

[abstract heron]

I don't wanna a Oven to sleep in at nights in summer beef

Winter i Don't mind due to its fricking cold

But summer yes

[unkempt blade]

you just need to flip your sleep schedule so you game all night while it's cool and sleep during the day

[abstract heron]

i won't say what but i might wanna be up all day instead of all night and 2 in summer during very very hot days it can be like 20C or 23C at best times of the year

[sour brook]

i am the person that in the first world put a 2 kilometer long belt to just do acu instead of using trains

still managed to make everything functional

[sterile blade]

What do you mean?
||The rails just had one colour/swatch and got changed to another, triggering the visual effect we saw in the video||

[tawny glacier]

any russian chat?

[reef basin]

not here

[dense ingot]

There's no doubt everything can be made to be functional without trains. However, depending on the device you're playing on. one conveyor belts like that can be very problematic because of the number of entities.

[sour brook]

my pc is i5 8th gen 2,4 ghz, 16gb ram, gtx1050, and is a laptop, i played at minimun with 30 fps and with that option of optimizing entities of belts

[ornate saffron]

The tunnel rat (a user here) famously processes the entire world of any given resource in a facility and does not use trains at all. Bauxite for example

[quaint cedar]

uh ik I'm late but do you have a yt video
I tried making my own to understand and made 3.75 gigawatts

[sour brook]

oh man i should show how my first world was, it has many weird stuff

[rough crest]

5400 steel/min in the making give me the strength to place foundries lol

ficsit reminded me ive been playing for 4 hours non stop should i stop?

[quiet mortar]

Damn

for what

[dusk trellis]

Fun ofcourse 😂

[rough crest]

atm nothing im just making factories of basica materials

[quiet mortar]

Yes but what kind of fun

Oh okay

[rough crest]

i have 14400/min iron, 2700/min aluminum and now this

[dusk trellis]

Jesus christ

[wild phoenix]

As it turns out, building really fucking high without a jet pack is complicated

[dusk trellis]

Imma be happy when I finish project assembly

Haha

[rough crest]

i just found this goated spot with 3 pure iron and coal node and also by smelting the iron you get extra steel for free so yeah

[late stump]

Are there actually any changes happening with trains in the new patch?

[normal orbit]

yes, you can paint the tracks and the collission detection on diffrent z-height of tracks is better

and fluid car buff

[dusk trellis]

What was wrong with the fluid car

Now you mention it

[green fiber]

storage size increased

[dusk trellis]

Aaah

[unkempt blade]

nothing was wrong fluids are just going to be more perfect than they already were

[dusk trellis]

I liked the fluids

Until I didnt 😂

[unkempt blade]

yeah I thought fluids were already amazing but they fixed them too! #announcements message

[late stump]

Oh man so no real changes with trains. I got super hyped from the train based trailer but it was all a lie!!!

[dusk trellis]

Na they are a fun challenge after all is said

[unkempt blade]

trains can go both forwards and backwards in 1.2

[mighty bobcat]

I got a question do you think coffee stain studios will add satisfactory support to m series MacBooks?

[mortal ginkgo]

brother your mac gonna explode by just looking at the game

i swear you goobers are like, so silly sometimes

[unique folio]

I don't think it would be that bad

Emulation has come far

I can at least open the game and walk around on Linux snapdragon

[mortal ginkgo]

[solemn glacier]

does it have good pipes?

[reef basin]

windows' one is crap tho. Powershell comes slightly closer, but still crap

[unique folio]

Honestly people that scoff Linux haven't tried it lol

Depending on your distro it can be easier than a windows install

just had lots of trains

suspense is killing me

[unkempt blade]

Wasn't it just spelling the date or is my video literacy not picking up some hidden message?

[unique folio]

my server (js me n a frien but i needed an excuse to set it up) has a big train loop that goes all the way around the world

[solemn glacier]

they had to have used trains for a reason

otherwise they would have used liquid trucks

[ebon marten]

radiation train you need to avoid that keeps going around the world

[unique folio]

Haven't done that yet

Sadly I was too focused on the train itself that there is like

Zero things for the train to bring lol

[unkempt blade]

Ok you convinced me. I'll start talking about train conspiracies in solidarity

[solemn glacier]

i embrace the trains,
i extend the tracks,
i extinguish other modes of transportation

[unique folio]

It gets coal, Sam, oil, and a bunch of other crap

[unkempt blade]

Did you all hear that 1.3 is going to have roller coaster loops for trains?

[unique folio]

WOAH

dats cwazy

[reef basin]

we had those even at EA release

[unkempt blade]

yeah but 1.3 will have them too!

1.3 is the golf update

[weak axle]

No, no 1.25 is

[unkempt blade]

check the roadmap, they've already said that's when we get the Switch release

[molten chasm]

Quick question, how many versatile frameworks/min is a good amount to design a factory to complete phase 3?

[white dawn]

As with so much in this game, entirely up to you. What I generally do is set a target "completion time" for the elevator delivery and then build the factory to suit. (Potentially re-evaluating my target time, if the factory ends up being bigger than I feel like making)

For instance, Phase 3 VFs require 2500 to be delivered, and my usual target tends to be "2 hours". 2500/120 =~ 20/min

So I'd likely personally shoot for 20/min

[limpid dune]

I would like to help translate the game into Turkish. Where can I apply?

[molten chasm]

that seems good for me

[molten chasm]

thx

[white dawn]

Some folks don't even bother fully automating the SE parts, fwiw; since there's only a set amount required for most of them, you can technically just set up a machine and "hand feed" it via a few storage containers, if you like

You'll need more of them for the Phase4+5 parts, so it's more than 2500 total that you'll need to make, but it's a somewhat popular strategy regardless

[unkempt blade]

the best pioneers only automate the spaceship parts

[molten chasm]

if im playing a game about building factorys i think im not going to skip the part about automating my item production

[white dawn]

lol, yeah, that is my thought as well for sure. I've never really understood why someone would want to skip the SE-part automation. Though good thing we're not all alike! 🥳

[molten chasm]

also

is it worth it to build my railways using only block signals? i ussualy put them every like 40 meters or so but i dont know if im doing it right

[white dawn]

Yeah, you can ignore Path Signals if you want, though later on you may want to "upgrade" your intersections to using Path.

40m is probably a bit overkill; I personally wouldn't go much lower than like 100m

Though by the same token, every 40m is unlikely to hurt. It's generally recommended that you keep your blocks at least as long as your longest train, just so stopped trains only "use up" the single block they're in, but honestly even that doesn't really matter that much

[dusk trellis]

I just spend half an hour tracing back my new motor factoryline to figure out why it isnt running for shit. In the end I trace it back to a iron output issue, very confused I walk over to the miner/smelter setup to figure out a didnt plug in one the miners hahaha

[molten chasm]

yeah maybe i overestimated the capability of my trains to crash with themselves

[white dawn]

In the end, resources are infinite, so it hardly matters if you over-build on signals. :P

I suppose one more consideration: if you do start upgrading intersections to Path Signals eventually, you do generally want the block leading up to the path signal to be reasonably long

It takes a bit of time for a train to reserve a path through a Path-Signal'd intersection, and it does so while it's in the block right before it. If the block is too short, the train will slow down even if there's no train anywhere near it, while that reservation happens

Though honestly even that isn't gonna matter. If your train route is so sensitive that its destination will start starving if your train loses a few seconds, you should probably add an extra freight car anyway, to give yourself some more headroom. :)

[molten chasm]

idk how to make good intersections, so i usually just make U turns once in a while

[molten chasm]

ok ok

[white dawn]

Posted a few 4-way dual-rail intersections at #screenshots message btw

[unkempt blade]

[primal obsidian]

I kinda wanna play this game but it feels like too much effort to start so im gonna go sleep instead

[dusk trellis]

I just unlocked oil, why are by-products seperate recipes? thats not what I expected lol

[violet glen]

What do you mean?

[dusk trellis]

ooh i see whats happening

[unkempt blade]

by definition a byproduct is a second item type you get from the same recipe

[dusk trellis]

I get byproducts and the recipe's are shit you can use the byproducts for

I think\

[violet glen]

Do you mean Oil, and not Coal?

[dusk trellis]

oh lol I do

[violet glen]

Oil kinda relies on a few really strong alt recipes to be really good

But almost all have byproducts you need to deal with

[dusk trellis]

Thats why it confused me I saw residuel fuel but I can craft it with the heavy shitty oil I get from other recipes

[unkempt blade]

Yeah the vanilla plastic/rubber recipes have a liquid byproduct you'd turn into something else to keep the factory from clogging. It's kind of the introduction into that sort of thing for this game

the good news is it's pretty easy to make rubber, plastic, and come out ahead on power anyway

[dusk trellis]

Ye I really need another power plant

I was hoping to be able to do oil power before I needed to upgrade\

we'll see

[unkempt blade]

fuel generators should probably be your second unlock from that tier of research

so you'll get it pretty quickly following onto the plastic/rubber recipes

[dusk trellis]

Well trains are gonna be in this case since I have lines for all that, for oil power I need some plastic so thats gonna need a lil adventure

[violet glen]

initial plastic and rubber for the depot and tiers should be easy

[dusk trellis]

CHOO CHOO MOTHER***

[dusk trellis]

Ye i just need to bed so ill do it later

doesnt look like any large quantity

[abstract heron]

There always is i wanna to do something checks time oh its only 5pm or 6pm then checks it again its 10pm and then checks again its nearing 12am

[abstract heron]

btw TOTAL hrs on the game 19,654 hrs on record and in my world i have 5.810hrs

and also its like 1 more production that takes 5hrs to do

[dusk trellis]

Same tbh but I have a exam first thing in the morning so I got to be strong. Even tho I wanna mess around with the trains really badly

[abstract heron]

i am currently making 200 or 300 nuclear pasta per minute probbaly

[short stream]

Guys, with auto update of Steam, my satisfactory had updated to newest version. That is different from server version so i can not join. Are there some way i can go back the last version?

[unkempt blade]

that sounds about right but not really sure

[fathom shuttle]

You can choose which version you launch with in the settings

[white dawn]

Historically, Experimental has gone public within 1-3 months depending on how the EXP phase went. In terms of timeline, at least, v1.2 isn't outside the bell curve, really.

[fathom shuttle]

I remember 1.1 taking a long time because of the bp auto connect

[short stream]

Settings in game or in steam?

[fathom shuttle]

Launcher settings from steam

[white dawn]

Not everyone takes their vacations at the exact same time. The out-of-office itself would follow a bell-curve-like-structure, I assume. But yeah, assuming at least a month or so of pretty light staffing is reasonable

[fathom shuttle]

You really love bell curves right

[white dawn]

apparently, yeah. :D

(I've mentioned "bell curve" 14 times since 2024!)

[unkempt blade]

I've always been more of a "chime bend" kind of person

[short stream]

What should i write in the comand box

[fathom shuttle]

Idk

[young sentinel]

lets say i attach an engine to each end of a line of freight cars.
would that allow me to send a train back and forth, without instead relying on a loop?

and, enters and exits a station from the same entrance.

[green fiber]

yes, if you do it all well

the other station on the other end of the track must face the right way too of course

both stations have to face away from each other, just as the locomotives must face away from each other

[young sentinel]

in that case, which way would station building be facing?
is the digital marquee sign meant to face the entrance or the exit?

i assume it's the entrance

it doesnt seem like it should matter much if the tracks are a loop

[violet glen]

well, if it's a loop, they both must match

[green fiber]

look at the stations roof instead

it has a flat and a curved side

going from flat to curved side is the "entrance" direction. trains must arrive in this direction

[stone moth]

I have finally achieved the minimum required hours to be considered "decent" at satisfactory

[weak axle]

UHHHHH, I'll have to pull up a world or something, lemme look

[young sentinel]

i also have a maybe 3000 1v1 matches played in starcraft 2.
half as just terran, less than half as random. some couple hundred matches as zerg.
i peaked placing into masters as zerg, but not staying in masters, and, reaching top 100 global diamond as terran, but never making it into masters. i dont really practice anymore. since 2015. casual play since.
the games i’ve played the most are probably that, then ARK 1, then skyrim, then probably this.

you don’t really begin to really learn the nuances of something until you’re at least a couple thousand hours in.

[unkempt blade]

if you had to build a statue of any starcraft unit using only stuff from satisfactory which would it be and why?

bonus question: which vehicle from satisfactory if added to starcraft would make it the most best

[young sentinel]

siege tank.
thats why i initially switched from random when i first started to just terran.
im also a blue/control player in MTG, but i only really played that with ex roommates who were competitive and committed, but i am okay as a casual MTG player.
i like positional play and dragging games out a little.

i play as random again but i’m not nearly as sharp as i used to be.

oh you meant the other way around

You build paths instead of recording (no roads needed).
And any intersections or overlaps have automatic "block signal" functionality.

[weak axle]

OH finally

[earnest condor]

You can also choose which truck stop on the path certain vehicles stop at.
So if you have 2 resources coming from 1 location, you can load them into 2 separate stops at pickup, then have Truck A pickup from Station 1 and drop off at Station 3 while Truck B picks up from Station 2 and drops off at Station 4 all on the same route.

[last orchid]

sooooo hello im new and im a bit stuck. im still at phase 1 cant complete phase 2. im making around 2k iron bars a min and 400 steel bars, and im stuck

[weak axle]

What all are you stuck with?

[earnest condor]

If you're in Phase 1 that would be why you cannot complete Phase 2, because you have to complete Phase 1 first to actually be in Phase 2 so you can work on/complete Phase 2.

But given you are making Steel -- you are in Phase 2.

[last orchid]

smart plating

[earnest condor]

How many Smart Plating do you need?

[last orchid]

?????? i check online and the roadmap, it says this is phase 1

[last orchid]

1k

[weak axle]

You probably mean iron bars/iron plates

[earnest condor]

You check wrong places.
If you can make Steel you are in Phase 2.

[young sentinel]

yikes

[last orchid]

steel

[earnest condor]

Do you have access to Somersloop tech or no?

[last orchid]

whats that?

[earnest condor]

So no.

Do you have storage for Reinforced Iron Plates and Rotors already?

[last orchid]

i got the reinforced plates the other side of the map close to the sea, my rotors at the middle of the map

[weak axle]

So you'd just need to bring the two together, or manually put them into an assembler

[earnest condor]

Build an Assembler and hook it into the Space Elevator.
Take 1k of each of those and put in containers hooked to that Assembler.
Let it run.

There is no need to fully automate Project Parts given how little of them you need.

[gentle dune]

Just finished my first ever starter factory!

[earnest condor]

🥳

[last orchid]

i dont think i can, ive spent 30 hours remaking my steel and iron production

[earnest condor]

What?

[last orchid]

my brain doesnt let me do it

[earnest condor]

That's a you problem them 🤷‍♂️

[last orchid]

IM STUCK IN A LOOP!!

[earnest condor]

I just told you how to get out of it 🤷‍♂️

[weak axle]

You don't need to push yourself, it's always okay to take a break
But yeah, it's fairly easy to cram your inventory with items and bring them to your space elevator for quick construction

[earnest condor]

1.2 is the first time in 8 years I have ever automated Project Parts and it is solely because I put the Space Elevator at 100x cost.

1.1 and prior there is no need to ever automate them.

[last orchid]

nvm, i found a reinforced plate production thats i forgot about

im good now

ty for the help

btwwwww, is there a way to put pipes underground just like factorio???

[ornate saffron]

you can clip through terran. You can build under the map too if you like

[earnest condor]

🖇️

[ornate saffron]

but ther eis no default bury pipe option

[last orchid]

oh

[wind bluff]

Slowly filling phase 2 with last of versatile frameworks. Should I stockpile the wires and frames?

[violet glen]

Each phases elevator items needs the previous phases ones as input. Though I have never stockpiled them

[ornate saffron]

you do have 2km of airspace pon average to build in

[zenith quartz]

i discovered pwer slugs from a while, but just got to use them, i think they dont get consumed, but is there going to be an issue of managing them due to them being limited and my machines being so large in quantities?

[weak axle]

So two things with that:
When you get somersloop production, you can double your power shards output, so try and get that
And also lizard doggos can occasionally bring you slugs

[wind bluff]

Oh lord I better despaghettify my lines then

[zenith quartz]

Another question

Finishing tier 2 now working on phase 1, do I ever need to stop production of ANY material?

[violet glen]

You will most definitely not run out of slugs. Specially if you sloop the shard production

[zenith quartz]

Idk whats sloop ig i got 1 of it but fed it to the MAM so I never used it, why is it connected to the slugs? Do they produce them? Or attract them?

[zenith quartz]

If so, I better start on automating everything i have from now instead of just what I need for now

[dense violet]

there's enough for 5000 shards on the map , you'll be ok.
and mostly just use them in miners for now

[gray vale]

i have placed down a manufacurar and powerd it and even made some thing but i havent gotten the achevment why?

[dense violet]

using slugs in regular machines only saves you space, it doesn't create more parts from your resources

[dense violet]

are you using advanced game settings?

[gray vale]

no

and i dident skip the onbourding

[zenith quartz]

Did u eat an apple today

[gray vale]

no?

[zenith quartz]

Thats why

[gray vale]

ok?

uhh

[zenith quartz]

Eat one it should work

[gray vale]

il go do that i gess

[zenith quartz]

Not misinformation

[gray vale]

how do i chaeck i f advansed game setting are on

[white dawn]

You'd have an "Advanced Game Settings" menu in your menu, if you hit esc

[gray vale]

i dont thik so

i really like having 100% in games so not getting this is really annoying me

i play on pc if that helps

@white dawn i just randomy got the achevment out of nowwere

[ornate saffron]

Generally speaking phase parts are used to make other phase parts. You can also use them for points (youll understand when you unlock that) all parts are usefull and production can continue forever

[worn oar]

Before around the time you're capable of making a nuclear plant, you should consider everything to be infinite and just go get more of it. Before that time, you don't have the technology, knowledge, or tools needed to max out anything.

TL;DR no until late game.

And if your only goal is to finish, then never. Not just until late game.

[acoustic radish]

Uhh I definitely sped through tier 2 to get to 4. Honestly, up until MK4 belts I think you just build single/double units for assemblers/constructors. After Mk4 belts start scaling

I definiely paused making certain things to speed up other things to get to mk4 belts

All on honestly a barebones setup. Cause I didn't want to go back and change all the belts

Just deleted it actually 😄

[worn oar]

I mean that's a different problem you solved which is how to do things faster the easy way. It doesn't mean you have to stop producing anything

[acoustic radish]

I mean if you dont want it to look like crap

and dont want to waste a ton of time destroying and rebuilding the same thing

also mk2 builder pffffft

[ornate saffron]

Personally I build factories with purpose. If that purpose is being fulfilled I leave it alone. If I need more I build more else where

[worn oar]

I love desecrating the landscape with my crap-looking factories :D

[acoustic radish]

Yeea I coulda but I was struggling with power, even with 8 coal generators.

Was overclocking the hell out of assemblers though xD

[ornate saffron]

I usually do 32 coal generators to get me to oil

[acoustic radish]

just didnt want to rebuild belts really

I'll probably add atleast another 8

Before I go do this big assembler/steel factory

Literally just unlocked mk4 belts so very excited to actually start playing lol

[ornate saffron]

Floating plateforms a far as you can see

[worn oar]

If the native fauna didn't want me to demolish millions of years of biodiversity, they'd just ask me politely to stop. Since no one has asked me, that means it's fine.

[severe tendon]

Is someone able to help me set up a turbofuel blend power plant? At least with the math part if not the layout and planning?
I made a post in the help channel but figured it wouldn't hurt asking the great people over here.
https://discord.com/channels/370472939054956546/1506466597081186525

[acoustic radish]

Oh see that I cant do, I'll atleast do some basic care. #screenshots my conveyor bridge and truck station

No floaters here

[wind bluff]

good spots for mega factory? im in the base starting area and really hate it

[ornate saffron]

Nothing wrong with floaters. I was just joking

[wind bluff]

i found a fewish good spots on an interactive map but idk how flat they are

[ornate saffron]

You have 2km of airspace. How flat things are matters not

[ornate saffron]

Best spot is where the resources are

[leaden turret]

🎶

I wanna be where the people resources are
I wanna see be, wanna see them dancing be automating
🧜‍♀️

[zenith quartz]

I ate an apple for u

[wind bluff]

car got stuck in a small mountain stream

FUG ;DDDDD

[worthy python]

Hay can anyone tell me what is a good bolk belts design pls i need it thanks in advance 🙂

[dense violet]

do you just mean lots of belts?

[worthy python]

Yes insted of spegiti

[dense violet]

design your sections of factory so you don't need tons of belts

have 1 section of factory directly feed the next section right below or above or next to it

that way you ahve few belts

[worthy python]

Coz have a lot of inputs and need to go across a long bit

If ya look at the screenshot chat ya can see my carnt mess

Though right now I am working on a new base so everything should be cleaning there

I would get someone to help me but I physically cannot cause I don't have no Wi-Fi I only have phone data so rip

[ornate saffron]

Depends on what you want and what you wish to achieve.

Here is wanted to see all the parts roll from one facility to another
#design-and-architecture message

While here #design-and-architecture message I just wanted to get 7200 iron to the metal works

[gray vale]

thxs bro u da goat

[grim carbon]

crazy questions

has anyone built a wall or something around the map to show themselves where the border is?

[worn oar]

https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/megaprints/index/details/id/349/name/World+Barrier

[patent grove]

Hi I just switched over my desktop to Linux and was wondering if it was at all possible to import my blueprints over? I backed up the necessary files to a flash drive and I was just wondering if Linux was any different when it came to how you can import save files and blueprints.

[grim carbon]

i guess the border for the map hasn't change in over 5 years

[worn oar]

No clue

[grim carbon]

i didn't realise it was that far off the land

[worn oar]

/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/526870/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/blueprints/sessionname

[grim carbon]

i appreciate you putting that link up for me, but i'm going to try to work it out on my own

play it my way instead of 'cheating' by relying on someone else's ideas

[patent grove]

Thanks a ton!

[acoustic radish]

wow I see how sushi lines can become a problem haha

Belt speeds are important for splitting so you dont overflood the machine and get gaps in production....
Noted

[white dawn]

Ah, groovy. I've seen that in other games where an achievement doesn't actually pop until sometime later. Presumably the game just had a hard time contacting the store servers and had to queue up the achievement for later

[sudden current]

OK this just defies logic. I timed my iron plate output and it was 120/min, which is the speed of my belts. However, I only have 4 contructors... shouldn't my max output be 80 since they can only produce a combined total 80/min after merging?

[somber fiber]

my train sometimes uses left side traffic only when I'm not in it, is that normal? it never does it when I sit in it

[sick falcon]

she lisk on my nob till i detonate

[thick cave]

It's hoverpack time

[latent prawn]

when their internal buffers are backed up, they'll be outputting as fast as the belts allow

[sudden current]

Omg you're so right completely forgot to account for that

[thick cave]

Man I love aluminum

[grim carbon]

can someone tell me why my map markers sometimes show as yellow when i look at the map?

[latent prawn]

bug

[grim carbon]

ok

[proud tinsel]

Omg they finally said they fixed this stupid issue of action cancelli g after interacting with portable miners and stuff

[acoustic radish]

Ive spent so long trying to figure out why my factory kept getting lagged up - i forgot 3 tiny output belts

Was for coppyer sheets which i barely use yet so didnt really notice

[proud tinsel]

Lol

[proud tinsel]

What were you trying to make

[sick falcon]

do industrial crates work as 2:2 balancers

[dense violet]

they are not reliable balancers no.

but you'll still end up getting the effect of a manifold in any case so unless one side is going to a sink you'll be ok

[soft scroll]

QQ: is there still an issue with merging 2 X 300 oil pump lines into 1 X 600 or was that patched?

[unkempt blade]

#patch-notes should know that 🙂

[soft scroll]

ty but my search foo appears to be lacking. i cant seem to find waht im looking for

[versed mesa]

Finally we got the actual release date

[unkempt blade]

exactly, it's tomorrow if we believe hard enough especially on june 1st

[versed mesa]

Nah its 2nd of June

[unkempt blade]

you mean tomorrow on june 1st?

but only if we believe hard enough

[soft scroll]

i gave up and all my fluids are now gasses

i've never not had an issue with fluids in this game

[versed mesa]

What this morning its now 20th of May

[acoustic radish]

Are there other walls other than the basic design I just haven't unlocked yet? these are so ugly lol

I know the windows/conveyors etc.. I just mean design

[soft scroll]

yes there is

[acoustic radish]

okay good

[soft scroll]

they are all in the awesome shop

[versed mesa]

Try mods my friend thank me later lol

[soft scroll]

or mods

[acoustic radish]

Ahh okay, fair. First playthrough so havent used any mods

[versed mesa]

Right ok

[acoustic radish]

Prolly will for designs sake though

[versed mesa]

Just think of it adding new stuff to the game

[unkempt blade]

wait when I use mods I get new stuff?

why did I never think of that before

[versed mesa]

Huh

What you mean

Mods add different designs and everything is a game changer legit

[abstract heron]

YAY 19,660 hrs on record

[unkempt blade]

That doessn't sound right. Are you sure we're talking about mods?

[abstract heron]

340 more hrs to go

[versed mesa]

Whoa mate alot

[abstract heron]

Roughly 22 more days @versed mesa

[weary gate]

June 2nd!

https://tenor.com/view/its-happening-gif-23353691

[versed mesa]

Well am on about Mods bringing on that extra more taste to building not sure what your on about lol

[versed mesa]

Holy

[versed mesa]

It sertonly is

[abstract heron]

4 day weekend about 15hrs is 280 hrs left

[abstract heron]

Current world 5,816hrs

[versed mesa]

Damn

[versed mesa]

You must have your factories built out great

[unkempt blade]

I wish I had a 4 day weekend. I clearly need more time to learn about how mods change the game they're installed for

[versed mesa]

Am assuming you not tried modding yet ?

[unkempt blade]

I'm already a world recognized expert in factory carts so I'm pretty sure I can figure out mods given enough time

[abstract heron]

Mods are great but ya and reason why i love the game

[versed mesa]

😂

[hard wolf]

SF+ go brrr :3

[abstract heron]

20k hrs then PINGING jason and mikael and saying good game

Currently working on a 200 or 300 nuclear pasta project

[versed mesa]

So you got vanilla and then you got mods which then blows your mind even more lol

[unkempt blade]

I think building games are more interesting with constraints. It's more fun building stuff when I have to get creative with how I do things

[abstract heron]

i keep playing modded

[versed mesa]

Bloody hell mate lmfao

[abstract heron]

minus ofc when 1.2 is on stable then i am out and i only stop for IRL heat

[versed mesa]

Then building mods is for you

[abstract heron]

i am using QOL mods in my current world

[unkempt blade]

you need to leave a steam review like "It's an ok game I guess but I'm not sure it's really for me"

[abstract heron]

i might 😛 but idk i still got ways to go

[versed mesa]

Building mods would defo be in that area

[unkempt blade]

the only ones I bothered trying were curve builders but I didn't like the amount of clipping

[abstract heron]

qol mods are like sky ui

or pak mods or others which are useful but not changing game CORE

[versed mesa]

Blimey ive not used yet but your not going to need when 1.2 drops

[abstract heron]

ill still use MODS when they come on

due to engine upgrade mods are broken in 1.2

[versed mesa]

Got some news for you buddy you really need to wait for the mods to get updated to work on 1.2 and some could take weeks

[abstract heron]

ik that and 2 i am hoping it does not take to much time and also summer IRL heat

[unkempt blade]

could just turn off auto updates

[versed mesa]

Start booking your holiday now lol

[abstract heron]

I love the game but i don't wanna hot hot hot hot area

[abstract heron]

nah i am good 😛

[abstract heron]

ik but then i might loose progress so ill wait

[versed mesa]

Then North pole is calling you lol

[abstract heron]

nah

I wanna test 1.2 feature with new engine upgrade once they become on

[versed mesa]

Damn hard to plesse you 😂

[versed mesa]

You and me both

[abstract heron]

Also summer is Normally my break 1 due to HEAT and only playing on cool days

[versed mesa]

Yes

[abstract heron]

and 2 burn out i hate having burnout in september or early

[unkempt blade]

U8 was really peak satisfactory before they ruined it by adding rocket fuel

[versed mesa]

Update 0.8 ?

[abstract heron]

atm i am figuring out how to add 10 belts of concrete to my HMF factory

[unkempt blade]

U8 was pre 1.0 in EA

[versed mesa]

HMF ?

[versed mesa]

Right

[abstract heron]

Heavy molduar frames i am making probbaly 200 or 300 nuclear pasta per minute by hand

[versed mesa]

You got this

[abstract heron]

ik so slowly working on it

[versed mesa]

@abstract heron what do you like to look of in the new update ?

[abstract heron]

New engine upgrade my fps is crap in my current world i get little lag by delete foundation or a cable or power tower

[unkempt blade]

I'm just glad fluids are going to be even more perfect than they already are

[abstract heron]

but ofc ill have to wait for mods to be updated and such

[versed mesa]

You know it's adds Daisy chainning

[abstract heron]

MOD

[unkempt blade]

a good choice

[versed mesa]

Exactly

[abstract heron]

i use a mod for it

[versed mesa]

You dont need it now when it drops

[abstract heron]

idk yet ill see

[versed mesa]

Lol

[abstract heron]

depending where i am i get 24fps to like 20Fps and i wanna more

[unkempt blade]

Depends how the mod works but I wouldn't be shocked if turning it off caused issues

that's the problem with a lot of those mods that add stuff unless you never want to stop using them for a save

[versed mesa]

Tbh I ain't bothered about fps as long as I can play

[abstract heron]

Reason why i am hoping with 1.2 it can get good fps and more

[versed mesa]

Good luck

@abstract heron what you running on ?

Me Rog Ally Z1

Ive got docking station for it which the allows me to connect to my TV

[abstract heron]

i7 ryzen 7800x3d 32gb of ram 5080ti

[versed mesa]

Actually thats pretty decent

@abstract heron what monitor you got ?

[abstract heron]

crappy ones

[unkempt blade]

If 1.2 doesn't improve performance enough I've heard good things about how it runs on a DGX station if you replace ubuntu with windows 10

[abstract heron]

ik but memory might be lower in my factory

[versed mesa]

I think thats why you getting shit fps lol

[abstract heron]

only 60hz yes which i wanna get 2 new ones but idk yet

[versed mesa]

How old are your current ones ?

[abstract heron]

Old enough

and 2 i use a dvd player not hooked up everyday but i do use it

[acoustic radish]

Any specific steel recipes I should really try and get?

[versed mesa]

Are we talking from 1980 lmfao

[acoustic radish]

early-mid game

[mighty bobcat]

uh my m5 pro chip could run the game if it gets ported

[abstract heron]

no but it is old i do need to get new ones

[versed mesa]

I think you can pick up good ones reasonable theys days

[abstract heron]

ik but do i wanna atm no

i am thinking getting a new desk probbaly soonish

[versed mesa]

I wouldn't if your monitors are still working

[abstract heron]

still work

[versed mesa]

Then wait until they start packing up

[unkempt blade]

he's on an almost 6k hour save, odds are it's not the monitor holding performance back 😆

[versed mesa]

Yeah it mite be content in game 😂

[abstract heron]

i really want more FPS in game but that might happen with 1.2

[versed mesa]

It mite even just boost you to 40fps lol

[abstract heron]

Yes

[versed mesa]

Better than nothing

[abstract heron]

who knows atm

[abstract heron]

Waiting to see what 1.2 brings me after mods are updated

[versed mesa]

Same i got to wait just like you also

[abstract heron]

its coming june 2nd so depending on heat aka when mods are ready then offical break from the game only logging on 5min for streak and such

[versed mesa]

Intotal ive got like 100 mods installed 😂

[abstract heron]

me 37 mods
