satisfactory

[versed mesa]

Wow still a good number

[abstract heron]

i use mod called remove all annoyances and sky ui and pak mod pls many others

[abstract heron]

and ya i wish this summer its not like a giant oven

[versed mesa]

Cool

[versed mesa]

Lol

[abstract heron]

Cool means me play in summer

Warm temps mean me no playing or having to wait for cool down

I run mostly everything on low minus shawdows hate that stupid white box when building stuff

Due to summer heat

and i can also run lumen yes i can

[versed mesa]

Am going to Soul and Funk Festival weekender 31st July

To 2nd August

[abstract heron]

umm #satisfactory chanel

[versed mesa]

Yeah

😂

[abstract heron]

Still figuring out good places for concrete

[versed mesa]

@abstract heron another new thing added in 1.2 we can customise Resource deposits like the strength if them all

[abstract heron]

random nodes btw i am a veteran player of the game and i do look at the YT videos 😛

[versed mesa]

Yeah

😂

[abstract heron]

play since june 8th 2020 so in about less a month away 6 years of playing the game

[versed mesa]

Damn I thought you was from Mars like me 😂

[versed mesa]

Great stuff some dedication

[abstract heron]

Still feeling mini oven but cooldown down irl temps

[worthy python]

Also is there a way to make power shardd beside the slugs

[abstract heron]

Yes but won't spoiler it

[cursive crane]

Much much much later

Do your mam research

But dont plan on it for a while

However if you wait to make shards until you can sloop them, theres hundreds of natural shards in the game

[hard wolf]

I cannot suggest the automater miner alt enough 😭

[reef basin]

doggos

[hard wolf]

my girlfriend wants to know if we can have lizard doggo milk flamethrowers?

[warped crane]

#screenshots message

you gotta place the blueprint first then connect the power tower to it, then place the last beam to hide the insides 🥲

[worthy python]

How

[dense violet]

they bring you items every once in a while

[worthy python]

Also uh my waterfall isnt waterfalling

[reef basin]

tamed doggos bring materials, chance for slugs/shards

[dense violet]

also until tier 9 you can still collect enough slugs for 5000 shards on the map w/o making them

[worthy python]

How to tame

[dense violet]

check out the wiki on them

[worthy python]

Look at screenshot lol

[dense violet]

too lazy

[warped crane]

should I transport uranium to my nuke plant via drone or train?

or factory cart?

[dense violet]

whichever is more convenietn for whatever logistics you have

[warped crane]

I mean drone is most convenient

[dense violet]

if you have a train lien that goes right by it? train is prob easier

[warped crane]

but something about yeeting radioactive material through the air seems weird

[dense violet]

then drone it

decide if the weird outweights the convenient for you 🙂

[warped crane]

I think I do the train for RP reasons

[dense violet]

if it's worth it for you 🙂

[hard wolf]

I wanted to do a vehicles only run, and I think it would be possible if I were super strict about it, but spaghetti factory has been the way to go up until completing phase 3 where I almost have mk3 miners unlocked and am just barely ready to dismantle all of my infrastructure and build a proper depot mall that has space for all of the things I need to make

[fiery pewter]

If I understand this correctly, I am picturing a truck delivering ingots to a constructor from a smelter 3 foundations away

[oblique aspen]

yeah vehicle only needs some definition .. because you can never build without belts entirely, even if only short ones. so vehicle instead of what, long belts? trains/drones? as many belts as possible? vehicles inside a single factory seems super crazy 😛

[cursive crane]

Dont forget that factory carts can be used for short moves

No power iirc

Some guy made a video doing it recently

[oblique aspen]

carts run without fuel, but only carry a single stack of material, and you really need them to be on foundations

[latent prawn]

i did a no train playthrough back when update 7 was released. it is doable, but back then the vehicles just flaked on me a lot

by the end of it, i was replacing vehicle routes with drones

[obsidian zodiac]

at least 2

[viscid flower]

hi

[hard wolf]

@fiery pewter @oblique aspen @alpine basalt so like smallest, most efficient option for each item. if a factory cart is more reasonable than a truck and consumes less fuel (they don't consume any, but capacity is the issue there and I have to test whether or not putting multiple carts on a small loop has enough throughput), then factory cart is the way to go. I also still haven't decided whether or not I want 2x truck stations per machine or 2x truck stations per production line (i.e. station to constructor to station vs station to all of the steel smelters to station, though I'm almost leaning towards station to machine to station now that I've thought about it again)

[obsidian zodiac]

why did you ping jace? lol

i havent played in a while my laptop is getting so slow in the startup fhase i get 2 second input delay basically unplayable

[dense violet]

when is the last time you reformated your hard drive and installed a fresh windows OS?

[fiery pewter]

I sense very large production buildings purely because of the large size of truck stations

[hard wolf]

go big or go home 🖤 #screenshots message

[fiery pewter]

Damn

That's big

[latent prawn]

you might want to check to see if you need to clean the vents/fans in the laptop

[shy karma]

dont know but we do the updates and i tried to clean up the drive but it doesnt go down only up like i tried to clean it once and it said there was less space available

[latent prawn]

it kinda sounds like the laptop is throttling because of heat

[hard wolf]

a clean computer is a happy computer :3 (also thermal paste is only supposed to last 2 to 3 years)

it's wild to me that people buy computers and never do maintenance on them ever xwx

[acoustic radish]

Why would waterpumps be operating at 50% effeciency? can I fix that?

[hard wolf]

water extractors?

[acoustic radish]

ya

instead of pumping constantly they shut off, but its all set where it should be

it maintains levels correctly, just not effeciently

[hard wolf]

either you're pumping more water than you need, or the rest of the production line isn't receiving the resources it needs. either way (due to fluid mechanics) you're better off pumping more water than less

[reef basin]

how much water are you making and using?

[acoustic radish]

180 / 180

[reef basin]

and are all machines that are using the water running at 100%?

[acoustic radish]

uhhh idk. they were all running.. idk what could be not 100%. I hadnt checked that yet. just shut everything down, am restarting pumps letting them fill 100% then restarting generators. have a battery bank so no harm no foul

[hard wolf]

coal power?

[acoustic radish]

ya

[hard wolf]

are you building 3 extractors to 8 generators?

[acoustic radish]

nah did 1 extractor 4 generators, overclocked to 150%.

ope welp

It would help if I had hooked up the last power lines to the last 2

[hard wolf]

did you fix it?

[acoustic radish]

yup. 1200 mw plant 100% effeciency. 2.5gw battery bank to boot

WEll its like 86% effeciency overall

[hard wolf]

something something unsponsored Satisfactory Modeler plug (free on steam, also it told me that your math is right)

[acoustic radish]

wait whats that

[hard wolf]

efficiency is an average. it'll go up as long as your water extractors are running constantly

[acoustic radish]

Yea I think it will, I just mean the whole plant including its own consumption is like 86-87% effecient

Which beats the hell out of cutting trees xD

[hard wolf]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3187030/Satisfactory_Modeler/

[acoustic radish]

Oh nice yea Ive seen that but didnt know what it was. Cheers.

[reef basin]

can also just use any of the web tools

without having to install stuff

[acoustic radish]

Yeeaaa. I was looking at the web tool and its alr

Maybe I just need to get more familiar with it

[hard wolf]

I use web tools to inform my production lines and migrate that information over to modeler to fit it to my use case. they're both tremendously powerful and neither should be slept on. especially since sometimes web tools are more than enough up until you want to use all of the resources xwx

[cursive crane]

I wish the day would come where 45*4 and checking if a 150% clock extractor is correct was math I couldnt do in my head lol

Really just think modeler just slows you down

[hard wolf]

your brain is the most important muscle in your body. It's brain day. go do 1000 brainreps

[ebon marten]

you can do math in game, using the search bar

[hard wolf]

calculators were then what AI is now, but AI is potentially far more detrimental to brains than calculators xwx

[ebon marten]

ai is killing gaming and our brains

[hard wolf]

ai is killing any reason for a lot of people to think for themselves, and that's really unhealthy :c

[cursive crane]

Neither of you can read apparently

[hard wolf]

I don't think modeler slows anyone down. I think it's a whiteboard capable of accommodating the most complex of any pioneers desires, so long as they know how to use it. it's a tool, immensely powerful to some and useless to others

also I have that AuDHD, so I might be missing something 😭

[jade parcel]

Question is the smal red planet reworked or why he have now 2 moons around him

Hint on new massive addon?

[lofty juniper]

we need high speed trains

[hard wolf]

I'm begging and praying for an expansion that lets us build a space ship on the preexisting platform that would allow us to travel to other planets or even other star systems :c

[jade parcel]

It would make sense that the starship is part of an exendet addon journey plan becouse they can make the addons litary like expand the story from the safe the day program.
Exampel the starship is only 1 part of the full program let say they make satisfactory to a life service game mean no new satisfactory game only this one and it would expandet endless

[hard wolf]

there's a solid chance they'd come to a point where it's more reasonable to make SF2 than add all of this on, but I'll be happy either way

[jade parcel]

They also can add some mmorpg aspeckt like the comjunity has to send parts to reach global mission goals let say like 100 million project part and if they reach the goal they become fiscit credits with that coin they can buy cosmetic packs. Cosmetic skin pack some are only buyable with the fiscit credit coin and some are buyable with real money.

And yes i know many dont like a ingame shop but cosmethik skins where are no buffs or boost inside are realy ok

I am dependent and addicted to Satisfactory

[hard wolf]

you might wanna look into modding, or the fun gameplay modifiers that 1.2 introduces (specifically modifying the quantity of project parts required to progress). I feel that, in at lease some ways, your desires exceed what Satisfactory wants or needs to be

[jade parcel]

I allready playing in experimentel i restart often becouse i try to make more perfection.
Perfection in no waste managing and all centraliced

No waste means the mines are not alowed to stop production

[hard wolf]

then you might like the Satisfactory+ modpack

[devout mortar]

any tipson building a factory that builds everything in the game

[south sinew]

#screenshots message here's mine

[hard wolf]

I don't have an every item in the game list, but I have an every relevant build item list xwx either way, if you really wanna plan it out, use the Satisfactory Tools calculator for ideas and efficient recipes, and plan it all out in Satisfactory Modeler

[reef basin]

yeah, best tip: ||don't||

separate it to small projects you can build all over the map, each producing one or a few items to storage

[undone jackal]

will it possible to upgrade a safe from 1.2 experimental to 1.2?
Me and a friend wanna start playing satis again but we only have time next week and maybe play a bit further later on

[unreal shard]

hey satisfactory 1.2 is only in steam?

Or is there one in epic? Because i bought from epic games.

[leaden turret]

why though, when we've only explored one relatively small continent on one planet?

[leaden turret]

1.2 EXP is available on both steam and epic

[leaden turret]

yes, but backing up your saves is always recommended

[devout mortar]

i dont bother with being efficient i just slug everything

but imma try

[ornate saffron]

The biggest tip is not to build a factory that makes every part in the game

[devout mortar]

🙁

[ornate saffron]

its hard on your computer

[devout mortar]

I already made a station that collects every raw resource in the game

[ornate saffron]

and then the logistics get out of control real quick.
"

that being said mathing out what you need BEFORE you build will save you much headaches

[simple pebble]

If you're moderate in scale it should be fine with respect to framerate, but yeah, you really do need to math nearly everything in advance

[echo prism]

hey there. is there a real chance that coffee stain finaly fix that pipe problems?! iam sitting here 20 hours and my turbo fuel generators wont work cause the last 4 never getting enough fuel.

[leaden turret]

is it a pipe problem or a you problem?

[simple pebble]

I had a mega factory file that got to turbo motors and didn't have framerate issues outside of the main bus room

But in hindsight it did outsource rubber/plastic specifically and I didn't get around to nuclear pasta before I got distracted, and those two are probably the biggest culprits lol

[ornate saffron]

the real pipe problem is education. They are hard to get working when you dont know what you are doing as all your information is inferred and when you make one change it takes 20-30minutes to see the results of taht change

[hard wolf]

because the complications of different planet types could introduce exciting problems to be solved for both the devs and the pioneers

[leaden turret]

name a planet type that doesn't introduce a mechanic that can't be implemented with a biome on the current planet

[hard wolf]

the double negative obfuscates the point of your message, but lava planet with crude oil oceans and no bodies of water

[echo prism]

the pipes. is produce 4x600 fuel. pipe mk2. after production i send the fuel 4m deeper to the generators. i testet pump after production, dont work. in the middle, dont work. so what do i wrong if you think iam the problem?

[reef basin]

in majority of cases it's user issue, not pipe issue

[leaden turret]

how do you get water for those recipes that require it?

[hard wolf]

through a creative and exciting solution

[reef basin]

if you're doing full pipes, you most likely need a loop

[ornate saffron]

Make a post in #1038092680493801533 with details and lots opf pictures

[simple pebble]

No more pure ingots, tempered all the way 🔥

[hard wolf]

or extracting water from the atmosphere (as long as it has oxygen and hydrogen)

[echo prism]

tested that too. if i do so, the last 8 gens dont get enough instead of 4

[leaden turret]

half-baked idea is half-baked idea

[hard wolf]

it could be that the planet would be very rich in water if not for all of the heat turning the atmosphere into the equivalent of a giant pocket of steam

[hard wolf]

subjective

[reef basin]

as said above, post images so we can see what's going on

[leaden turret]

objective.

statement does not provie answer, is half-baked 😛

so I like the idea that a different biome allows/requires the use of the water extractor to be a general-purpose fluid extractor

but I don't like the idea of introducing a new machine that can't be used on the original map

[hard wolf]

the answer is what I felt like providing you in that moment. I added more here #satisfactory message and here #satisfactory message

also, just because you don't like something doesn't mean it wouldn't be cool as hell :3

[leaden turret]

^re: atmospheric collection.

see also spam atmospheric collection to get unlimited resources, antithetical to game design

[leaden turret]

idea that does not survive poking holes disintegrates, idea that survives poking holes is swiss cheese

[hard wolf]

counterpoint: the atmosphere could only have so much oxygen and hydrogen at any given moment. once depleted, the atmosphere around it would have to displace it. therefore, in order to gain infinite resources, you'd have to create such a quantity of machines that it expands far past the amount of space you're allowed to build them in, and is therefore impossible

that includes spacing them out as such that there's enough atmosphere to feed any of them

[leaden turret]

is similar argument towards wind power and css won't implement wind power (also, this is how the wind power mod works)

[hard wolf]

but wind is inexhaustible. oxygen and hydrogen are not

[leaden turret]

-# clarification: windmill spam = poopy efficiency

[hard wolf]

this isn't "if you place them too close together they don't work anymore." this is "if you place too many there's no more atmosphere," which could have it's own fun, interesting, and potentially highly detrimental ramifications

[leaden turret]

people have enough problems with pipe mechanics providing insufficient feedback for people to make sense of them, I foresee atomspheric depletion having similar issues

also; going back to my original point, atmospheric depletion does not require new planet 😛

it does provide a motivation for it though 👍

[hard wolf]

no, but there's no reason to pull water from the atmosphere if there's water everywhere already

[leaden turret]

• volcanic biome would have similar issues of water scarcity
• 100% desert map would have similar issues of water scarcity

what consequences that don't involve factory maintenance (also antithetical to game design) does atmospheric depletion have in your idea?

[hard wolf]

I feel like I'm talking about potentially very fun, interesting, and challenging post project assembly mechanics that I would like to see added to the game, and you're arguing against them for some pointless reason?

[leaden turret]

I prefer to see an idea fleshed out and refined rather than disipate into the ether

[hard wolf]

likewise. that being said, why are we arguing?

[leaden turret]

I see missing chunks of idea

[hard wolf]

do you want to help me fill the gaps, or make me leave?

[leaden turret]

the former

[hard wolf]

then we need a better way to go about this :/

[hard wolf]

I will add that in order to prevent infinite water (which is kind of a thing already as long as you don't run out of space for extra water extractors) the radius would have to be something reminiscent of some average of the distance between iron nodes, and if there's any crossover between atmospheric condenser radiuses, they either don't work, or the volume of atmosphere they condense from would have to be depleted by a ratio of the crossover. also, if it's the "cold metal creates condensation that drips into a tank" technology, it would be kind of slow anyway, which would also help with the infinite water problem

[leaden turret]

-# water extractors create less of an issue because you can't stack them vertically.

-# atmospheric collectors, not requiring to be sat in buoyant water, would necessarily be vertically stackable

[hard wolf]

but they wouldn't because of the volume crossover and workable area. like 2 or 3 high, maybe, if that?

[leaden turret]

what if atmospheric collector is of the style of space elevator / hub etc., where because reasons only one is allowed on the map ?

creating a logistical problem to solve by requiring water to be distributed from one location on the map

consequence of atmospheric depletion: drones can't do shit

consequence of atmospheric depletion: boombox no longer booms, is just box

[warm estuary]

I have a question. I'm on PS5. If I put several factories together with just conveyor belts, like 10 belts of 3 km each, would that cause a lot of lag, or would it be better to use trains?

[leaden turret]

belt less of an issue that machine spam. best ask in #satisfactory-consoles for people more readily familiar with console limitations.

[leaden turret]

do you propose hologram red zone or giant-ass machine that literally can't be stacked more than 2 or 3 high?

[dense violet]

could try people in console channel/

[abstract heron]

hi all

[rich parrot]

Probably fine with belts, but looks better with trains IMO.

[hard wolf]

a bit of both. I think 2 or 3 is semi reasonable, plus atmospheric pressure drops at higher altitudes which could prevent stacking. so they can't overlap, and have to be placed close to the ground. I like the single condenser idea but I feel like realistically something that large would draw so much from the atmosphere around it that drones falling out of the sky would be inevitable

[warm estuary]

I know, but I don't know how to use the trains perfectly yet, and I want to move about 10 different items.

Can 10 different items be moved in an organized way using trains?

[rich parrot]

Yes. You can have one item type per car.

And you could use multiple trains, so you do not need a monster-train.

Just build rails like they do in the real world, with two parallel rails. One goes there, the other comes back.

[warm estuary]

Okay, I'll try it then.

[abstract heron]

are we getting satisfactory expemential console?

[dense violet]

sire

[dense violet]

depending on the volume yo ucould even move 10 items in 1 car

[leaden turret]

[abstract heron]

😂

[leaden turret]

(because sony/ms, not css)

[rich parrot]

Exp is ending in couple weeks.

[abstract heron]

ik that 😛

[warm estuary]

I have a factory that produces all kinds of metal derivatives, and I just want to move the final items; it's not a huge amount of material, but they are complex.

[dense violet]

well you can often move about 1 belt per platform . Of your fastest belt

depends how long the trip is

[leaden turret]

if you want to try out experimental builds of satisfactory on console, apply here: https://jobs.eu.lever.co/fishlabs/d5927b89-7904-4ee5-ba93-9b846b332711

[warm estuary]

like 3-4 km

[abstract heron]

u can apply for that?

[leaden turret]

Fish Labs are hiring programmers.

[abstract heron]

i am good

[dense violet]

how long in time 🙂

[leaden turret]

makes sense that if you work for fish labs, you can work on satisfactory on console 😛

[leaden turret]

<@&370483737957236737> does CSS have any upcoming positions not yet posted on jobs.coffeestain.com that would let people work on satisfactory, so they don't have to apply to fish labs? 😛

[unreal ivy]

hello , quick question is it possible to use the 1.2 electricity consumption in my current save ?

[abstract heron]

also <@&370483737957236737> working my hrs 19,662 hrs on record TOTAL and 5,818hrs in my world

[dense violet]

I thikn you ahve to set it at teh start of the save

[unreal ivy]

so not possible to test if my 200h save can handle x5 more consomtion ? not even with console commande ?

[rich parrot]

I could tell you right now that the answer is going to be a resounding no 😛

[dense violet]

don't believe so

[dense violet]

just don't use 1/2 your power , same result

[unkempt blade]

who's making the switch version? that's who I want to work for

[rich parrot]

x5 is a ridiculous multiplier for power. x3 would be more reasonable, but for some reason it jumps from x2 to x5.

[unreal ivy]

well i will try to copy all the factory into a new save file using the save editor , hope it works ( sure it wont lol)

[dense violet]

seems like way more effort than only using 1/2 your power cap but you do you

[unkempt blade]

you'd just look at the power graph and do the math between the high point of consumption and the low point of production...

[rich parrot]

Yeah. If your factories are all running and you are consuming 20 % of your current power production or less, you could handle the x5 multiplier.

[unreal ivy]

well power is my favorite part of the game so i hope my current plants cant handle it which will force me to do more of that delicious piping

[dense violet]

... how does that stop you from making a million power pipes?

[unreal ivy]

it's not fun if i can create 2TW of electricity and the whole factory use only 20% of it , i want the stress of thinking if i create a new steel factory it will blow the fuse which will cascade into buld up of nuke wast or deplition of turbo fuel reservs , all that shit i love it

[dense violet]

it's still getting 'used' if you limit yourself to half with 2x power consumption

[compact knot]

@unreal ivy you could build more machines and sink everything so they keep running

[unkempt blade]

I mean it sounds like he's just ignoring best practices like sinking or priority switches if he's having those kinds of problems...

[compact knot]

yeah, he builds to small lol

[unreal ivy]

no it's just it's not the same , i feel like it's useless , but thanks guys , if i find a way to activate the x5 on an old save i will informe you .... if you are interested

[primal obsidian]

wait maybe I should set the power consumption multiplier higher

my whole nuclear plant can go out and my stuff stays running

so I have an incentive to fix the train line

[unreal ivy]

exactly, see what i mean

[primal obsidian]

no lemme read what you were saying first

[primal obsidian]

okay actually this sounds easier nvm

[thick cave]

Hi

[abstract heron]

going to guess the devs are pretty busy

[unkempt blade]

But not as busy as you! 20k or bust!

[abstract heron]

i am going to get there but takes time and 2 with summer heat i might be like 5hrs off or something but to hot IRL

as temps goes

[unkempt blade]

I know. I'm just excited for you

[abstract heron]

Really for reaching 20k hrs

Don't worrie when i reach 20k hrs ill ping jason and mikael HEAVY if they want to

and ping who else also

But if it gets to hot IRL before i do ill take my summer break

and only play during the cooler days

have to

If not they it gets to hot and such and 2 i love a break on the factory to recharge and avoid burnout

i don't wanna roll into september @unkempt blade and be burned the heck out of playing all summer

Thats why i take summer break

don't wanna but have to

its like only few hrs in summer i do play quick in the afternoon and sorry if i look like a spam wall peeps

[unkempt blade]

Do what's best for you! You're amazing and talented and will hit 20k soon enough 😄

[abstract heron]

yes

i do love this game and its my relaxing and my rage all in 1 game JUST WISH there was a memory update

[unkempt blade]

I'm only at like 2k so I'm going to race you there as kind of a tortoise and the hare thing

[abstract heron]

soon june 8th 6 years playing the game

[leaden turret]

-# [insert joke about them forgetting to do a memory update]

[abstract heron]

oh howdy marv

[abstract heron]

also do u have that review from last night to show marv

[unkempt blade]

this one? #satisfactory message

[abstract heron]

yes

@leaden turret

when i reach 20k hrs ill be so happy and going crazy 😛

[abstract heron]

And also when june 2nd hits maybe cause mods are not yet updated and i use 37 mods

[abstract heron]

i already got mikael and jason for 20k hrs want me to ping u when i get it

[reef basin]

Haven't played much, but it's decent

or

when this starts being fun?

[abstract heron]

idk what review yet

[thin pilot]

I want to have a slow proper play though of satis is it a good idea to like 10x the space elavator costs so I focus on building bigger and nicer looking factories from, the start

[white dawn]

That remains, for the next few weeks, a question for #satisfactory-experimental btw. Can't do that at all on public yet. :) Though: in the end, up to you! There's nothing stopping you from building bigger and nicer looking factories right now, though, even without elevator cost multipliers

[leaden turret]

?

[abstract heron]

for might be a review when i reeach 20k hrs

[leaden turret]

Gonna need more context for why ping, brain no worky, on phone outdoors

[abstract heron]

When i reach 20k hrs review i wanna to do a good review maybe

[leaden turret]

A couple years ago I did a narrated tour of all my saves at the time

[spare prism]

Hi

[sleek fiber]

@hard merlin Hi! can u send your tool? dm closed from non-friends and friend invite closed to

[rough crest]

it's annoying there is actually little little nitrogen gas in the map i cant even consume all the oil in the blue crater to make rocket fuel in the most efficient way cause of that

[reef basin]

there's way more nitrogen than needed

[rough crest]

wait nvm i just saw that a node has 10 pure outputs lol

how much is that

[violet glen]

3.5 full pipes iirc

[normal orbit]

300 per, so 3000 = 5 full pipes

[rough crest]

ok im making power in the blue crater where we have a total of 2700 crude next to the water. assuming we use heavy oil residue -> diluted fuel -> nitro rocket fuel we make 10800 rocket fuel with 5400 nitrogen gas (9 pipes) and the 3 nitrogen gas wells near the blue crater have a total of 6000 nitrogen gas leaving us with 1 extra pipe so yeah it's possible

[unkempt blade]

sounds like it's time to use different recipes or run a pipe from another biome then

[rough crest]

im just using 300 of that crude lol and it's a raw 77GW so the total power output would be 693GW but now i wonder if you wont have enough nitrogen gas for stuff like cooling systems and fused modular frames cause 6000 is half of the world's supply

[unkempt blade]

if the devs would just do the right thing and remove rocket fuel from the game we wouldn't have problems like that

[rough crest]

a realistic approach is just to go to the well with pure nodes take a pipe of nitrogen gas from 2 extractors and combine it with 300 crude and make another 77GW at a time

its a very convenient setup cause its a small facility to make the rocket fuel 10 refineries and 16 blenders total and then you take the output and feed to 288 generators and make your 77GW and scale your power easily

[unkempt blade]

yeah nitrogen is the easiest thing you'll ever use a long distance pipe for if you need more

[worn oar]

Is there any better feeling than a stable power grid which is clearly and far above max consumption? 😌

[unkempt blade]

carts on an automated route through a skatepark

[rough crest]

you also need 400 coal and 800 sulfur for that setup but those are basically free for this setup

[rough crest]

y something like triple the max consumption xd

i have roughly 50GW consumed and 150GW produced but im still scaling my factories

im just making basic resources for now so consumption is really low when you start manufacturing advanced parts yeah and im also not overclocking just building more machines

now its time for a 3200 plastic/min and 3200 rubber/min factory using like all the oil in the west coast xd

about 280 refineries and 64 blenders

[unreal shard]

guys how i can like look from upside? because im builging like spagetthi huge machines

so i can build them more better and accurate

[unkempt blade]

use foundations/ramps/other buildables to make scaffolding or wait until you unlock the hoverpack

[unreal shard]

ty

[modest dagger]

wagwan

[normal trench]

Im so excited for 1.2

Im on console and havent been able to try things out

[mortal ginkgo]

as a console bro I am sure you gonna love the path system for vehicles

[fossil agate]

How would you guys set up 3 pure coal nodes thats in the same spot trying to figure out how to setup 24 coal gens and make it look nice

[normal trench]

I really want to use vehicles now

[normal trench]

I would split it into 4 equal outputs and make it feed 6 each

With room to expand cause Mk 2 upgrades

Or overclocking

[idle drum]

hello im new here

[normal trench]

Same

[tough rune]

what belts do you have?

[modest dagger]

hi

[normal trench]

Well I mean I changed my account name

But I haven’t been here very long

[fossil agate]

I have mk2 belts and miner right now

[normal trench]

Why did you put 67 btw

[modest dagger]

for fun why not

[sterile blade]

A stable power consumption

[fossil agate]

Right but set up wise hpw would you place the coal gens because it only looks good to me placing all 24 in a line but that brings issues

[mortal ginkgo]

bro did you see the recent WIP cutest mod ever existed?

#design-and-architecture message

bro its the bestest mod of bestest mods

[modest dagger]

nah

[unkempt blade]

ok now that might be enough to actually get me to use mods

[mortal ginkgo]

Mod of CENTURY

[modest dagger]

recipe makr best mod

[mortal ginkgo]

It seems wonky animation wise but I think it will get updated in 1.2, as 1.1 etc dont force a single wait location directly

[unkempt blade]

Did you even open his link before you said such an ignorant thing? Clearly the cart station mod is best!

[modest dagger]

who even using carts ah drones al the way

with a nuc plant of 10k

feeding into drone hub

[unkempt blade]

I still love you but you have bad opinions about vehicles

[modest dagger]

sry never used them same with train

loved drones

@unkempt blade show me ur savefile

factory pics

[elfin cape]

this is unironically a goated mod

[mortal ginkgo]

it is THE goat mod

[elfin cape]

Theres this streamer doing a factory cart only run

This would be a great help lol

[unkempt blade]

ok #screenshots message

[normal trench]

I always did it in rows of 12-16, cant remember right now, but they would split down the middle with one line of coal going to a row, and they would be raised by like 4 meters, or one wall, and have water going down the same path but on the ground

[modest dagger]

its sick

[normal trench]

Basically you raise the conveyors up, and water stays on the ground

Make as many rows as you need, but make sure that a row can eat one entire line of coal

[normal trench]

NO TRAINS

WHERE IS YOUR INFASTRUCTURE

[modest dagger]

nope always belt til i unlocked drones lol

[normal trench]

Dont, trains are incredibly useful

[modest dagger]

i findt them annoying

[normal trench]

Why

[modest dagger]

btw my last playtrough had 1k drones maybe bit overboard

[normal trench]

They are a ton of fun to set up and are gorgeous

[normal trench]

Yeah, very much so

Crap dome keeper is open on my computer

I can’t close the game out lol

[modest dagger]

now playing exp and puting everything on 0.25 is to much im dealing now with 25k fuel for rubber and plastic

and im going nuts on how build clean and effiencient

[normal trench]

Wait can the modifier actually make things harder

If you going for efficiency

[modest dagger]

yeah harder and easier

[normal trench]

Oh no

Water byproducts

Ohhh thats bad

[modest dagger]

how do i put a screenshot here as ping ?

[normal trench]

You copy the message link when you post it in another channel

Hold down on the message to pull up it up

#satisfactory message

[modest dagger]

#screenshots message this for 25k fuel

not evenm placed everything down for rubber and plastic

[modest dagger]

yeah for aluminium ittss HORROR

[ornate saffron]

Depends i have trains but they just move space elevator parts

[normal trench]

The autism is weak in you

[modest dagger]

damm

[ornate saffron]

The adhd is strong though

[normal trench]

I am in the middle of a heavy hyperfixation

[normal trench]

Same

My profile js literally the hyperfixation

[cursive topaz]

It’s strong here

[normal trench]

Tism

[ornate saffron]

I hyperfexate moving from one hobby/game to the next lol

[normal trench]

I haven’t had one in a long while

I forgot how fun it is

[ornate saffron]

The flow state is nice.

[normal trench]

Project Hail Mary if the hyper-fixation of you were wondering

[ornate saffron]

Happened when I built my nuclear setup

[normal trench]

Nice

[ornate saffron]

Good book

[normal trench]

I need to read it, hoping to get it for my birthday soon

I have only watched the movie

Which is my favorite movie of all time tbf

My last hyperfixation was probably a couple months ago when I read mistborn era two

[restive umbra]

“Factory”

[abstract heron]

19,667 hrs on record

[ornate saffron]

Better start typing. I expect a epic like the kalivala or the epic of gilgamesh

[abstract heron]

You mean working in my factory

[abstract heron]

<@&370483737957236737> hrs update

[ebon cobalt]

That's 2 years in hours

[abstract heron]

Yes 20k hrs then lining devs big time

[split trench]

actual playtime or including idle?

[hidden spruce]

Finally adding trains next month?

[white dawn]

Maybe someday they'll add pipes too!

[abstract heron]

Playtime

And half times if I am just busy

[abstract heron]

Busy like working on factory and seeing what math

[earnest condor]

Update 2: Trains
Update 1.2: Moar Trains

Conspiracy 👀

[split trench]

imagine vehicles

[earnest condor]

Imagine Cybertrucks being automatable 😭

[abstract heron]

I am hoping a memory update is after 1,2 on stable and ya

I wanna to have nice fps but it’s like at 20 fps etc etc

[unkempt blade]

I want trains that are the size of factory carts for inside my factory

[low helm]

Honestly, they should be but only the wrong way round. So they can drive on the paths but in the opposite direction to cause deadlocks. And they can't stop at stations.

Fits the current functionality

[split trench]

toy trains? mini trains ?

[split trench]

memory is free, you just need to imagine

[abstract heron]

I wanna more fps in my world I am like low fps but only shadows I HATE THST WHITE BOX when building

[unkempt blade]

like the size you'd put in an amusement park for children

[abstract heron]

May I ask what’s after 1,2

[earnest condor]

Current functionality is "can turn only one way" so just make them not able to use Universal paths and make the Cybertruck path able to curve only that one direction.

[abstract heron]

I have 32gb of ram

[unkempt blade]

1.3 probably

[abstract heron]

Or memory updates like taking of stable stuff

[split trench]

Usual yearly seasonal events but if there is something our CMs will let y'all know

[low helm]

I like it.

[abstract heron]

And fixing stuff etc etc

[abstract heron]

I am running ficmas everyday mod

[earnest condor]

Keeps the meme being a meme and allows meme paths to be built for meme builds. 😭

[abstract heron]

I only run qol mods guru

[low helm]

Well or my solution should derail them everytime it would need to turn the other direction

[earnest condor]

My "cool interaction" wish for the Cybertruck is that I want it to start with 1 inventory slot, but it gains +1 inventory slot per level of Packager game that you get all stars on.

[abstract heron]

I run 37 mods soon to be 39 or 40 qol mods

[sharp compass]

How do you get rid of excess time crystals?

[modest dagger]

sink

[sharp compass]

I thought u couldn't sink them oops

[abstract heron]

I get also little lag when foundation places or power tower deleted or cable deleted aswell idk why

[iron iron]

HOMELANDER LOWKEY A BITCH

[abstract heron]

Huh

[earnest condor]

Wiki page on the Sink has the very, very short list of unsinkables.

[abstract heron]

I love the game but wow and I am also hoping what 1.2 will do to my fps

[split trench]

you could host it on dedicated server IG ?

[abstract heron]

I could give you peeps my save

Nah I am good I don’t wanna mess with it guru

The dedicated server mess

[abstract heron]

But if u want my save to run numbers and other stuff at the office I am surely gladly too it’s still heavy wip

But not at my pc guru

[split trench]

Its modded so will not run much testing on it but I could take a look at it out of curiosity.

[abstract heron]

And update in a patch notes in time for 1.2 and wondering fps is in it cause current build it’s laggy

[abstract heron]

Just remind me tmr or something okay I am not near my pc atm

[abstract heron]

And will u if u have to do patching if you find game breaking bugs or bugs that need to be fixed also in my world i am out of the world boundaries so play in game mode with god mode on

And I probably have like 3k refinery’s or 5k idk cause that dumb satisfactory calcator is laggy as heck

[unkempt blade]

which refinery is your favorite one?

[abstract heron]

Huh

I have biome bases where I take a few or something of other biome resources and do a mega factory

[unkempt blade]

my favorite one is the single refinery I use to make fabric

[abstract heron]

I have big bases

One in dune desert my main factory one in the green fields for pasta

And others are ones I am workint on

Swamp a other out post dune desert same thing

I might be a worse than a Andrew

[abstract heron]

@split trench

[modest dagger]

tryng to get 10k plastic per minute is killing me

[abstract heron]

Me probably doing 300 nuclear pasta per minute is tough

And figuring out past me what I did

[modest dagger]

baby numbers

i did 1k nuclear plants in my old savefile

but its tough

i understand my pioneer

[abstract heron]

FPS issues and 2 dont wanna beak fps

[modest dagger]

whats ur specs ?

[robust wigeon]

#screenshots message this is the sort of ai-generated image that I actually like

human thought and creativity went into it and a cool result came out

[modest dagger]

looks sick

[robust wigeon]

it’s somewhat thought-provoking, not slop by any measure

[robust wigeon]

yeah

[white dawn]

Regardless: #rules We kindly ask you to not post any AI generated content anywhere other than in ⁠off-topic-media and clearly mark/declare it there as being AI generated.

[robust wigeon]

the only thing I would change is to add a disclaimer that it is ai but otherwise very cool

[robust wigeon]

Yeaaaahhhh

[white dawn]

Human thought, creativity, and only an incredible amount of intellectual property theft and lake-boiling.

[modest dagger]

maybe if shader mods added in satisfactory would be achievable

[robust wigeon]

the ends don’t justify the means, but the means don’t define the ends, either

[white dawn]

Fortunately we have #rules to keep it out of where it doesn't belong

[abstract heron]

I7 7800x3d 32gb of ram and a 5080 ti

[robust wigeon]

I’d argue it does belong, look at the reactions, and the “ai 👍” is just me

people like it, and not without reason

[abstract heron]

I run everything on low minus shadows

[white dawn]

It does not belong. #rules expressly forbid it, as does the channel topic itself

[robust wigeon]

rules are rules but that doesn’t make them correct

[robust wigeon]

it belongs, it is just against the rules

[white dawn]

If you don't like it, take it up with the server admins, but I'm personally glad the rules are as they say they are

[modest dagger]

dam meanwhile im running 128GB 3060. AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT 8-Core Processor 3.80 GHz

[abstract heron]

Hi u

[white dawn]

It's not a screenshot of the game, so it doesn't belong in #screenshots

The name of the channel is not #any-image-you-think-looks-neat

[robust wigeon]

it is a modified screenshot of the game
But yes, that is true

[abstract heron]

Idk if having a extra 32gb or something is good

[modest dagger]

idk maybe but its just i paly lots of game that need lot of ram so i full stacked my motherboard

[robust wigeon]

An #any-image-you-think-looks-neat channel would be nice

[white dawn]

I mean that's #off-topic-media

[abstract heron]

I only have 32gb of ram my world is massive and huge

[modest dagger]

GUYS chill its just a picture

[modest dagger]

like i also play timberborn and on there i have 4 fps cant even play the game anymore

[abstract heron]

Me atm it’s like 27 fps at best

[modest dagger]

dam

[robust wigeon]

yes

but it is satisfactory… so it doesn’t feel off topic

[supple canopy]

fuck AI all the way unless there's systematically an AI disclaimer

which is NEVER the case

[abstract heron]

It’s do able but can get laggy so i been asking devs and Mikael and Jason a memory update and waiting for 1.2 my world to see good fps or bad

[robust wigeon]

I mean, would the guy adding their own disclaimer help?

[modest dagger]

yeah u not playing experimental ?

[robust wigeon]

I think a lot of the issues people have with ai aren’t necessarily just from ai itself, like boiling lakes and driving electricity bills up and stealing intellectual property, yeah, it does that, but the real issue is how unprotected those things were such that ai could come in and exploit them

[abstract heron]

No stable due to mods

[white dawn]

I do agree with Boontje in that the topic should really be dropped. :D But #rules are quite clear about it: We kindly ask you to not post any AI generated content anywhere other than in ⁠off-topic-media and clearly mark/declare it there as being AI generated. There's no question that the image isn't appropriate where it is, disclaimer or no. (Though it's also not worth nearly the volume of chat we've already had about it. :D)

[modest dagger]

ah

[robust wigeon]

not excusing ai, just that hating the symptom doesn’t get you very far

[abstract heron]

Let’s not make it into a drama show

[modest dagger]

i play mostly vannile its just fun that way

[abstract heron]

I play with qol mods

[modest dagger]

yeah ok understandable

[abstract heron]

I might have like 3k or 5k refinery’s in game

[modest dagger]

for next factory i need 12k refinerys

😭

cuz with experimental i did all recipes 0.25

but if i math corectly i would have about 1.2m ionized fuel for fuel plants

[abstract heron]

I did hole dune desert refinery’s and the green fields and doing more I am spawning in more ore with magic machines

[modest dagger]

ah with a mod getting more ore ?

[abstract heron]

Only rule can’t do ofc use magic machines aka spawn in everything for tickets

[abstract heron]

And other stuff very useful

[modest dagger]

yeah wait till 1.2 and with the 0.25 gamemode ul get plenty of resource

strugle is real with water byproduct of 20k

[abstract heron]

I am doing factory work now and then after June 2nd and once mods are updated

[modest dagger]

yeah im a menace i like to maximize everything

[abstract heron]

And 2 it’s nearing summer to my play time and such is going to go 0 due to summer heat irl

[modest dagger]

ha luckily here its still raining

[abstract heron]

Don’t like it but got to and a good break is good aswell

[abstract heron]

19,667 hrs on record total and world like 5,825hrs

[modest dagger]

yeah good mentaly for break when i was playing alot i had headaches for days

[abstract heron]

Good summer break good heat irl break to play other games and destress

[modest dagger]

instal rocket league

come tchill with me

[abstract heron]

Nah I have summer games

[modest dagger]

its realy sweaty

like i have 8k hours on it but stil champ and its anoying

[abstract heron]

In summer I do Lego games Minecraft modpacks cookie clicker farm simulator 22 and 25 and vircrsa cleaning up detail

[modest dagger]

alr nice how about atm10 to the sky ?

[abstract heron]

I play nomifsctoey stm on summer

Nomifactory

[modest dagger]

wth is that ?

[abstract heron]

Nomifactory modpack

[modest dagger]

is it on curseforge ?

[abstract heron]

Greg tech galore etc etc cool down in July when heat cranks up

And when it’s hot I only play on cool days

[abstract heron]

YES

[modest dagger]

alrr if u play tag me il join if alr ?

[abstract heron]

Nah single player

I only do single player

[modest dagger]

ah

[abstract heron]

Also I have projects in the go in my world of satisfactory

Like multiple

[modest dagger]

uhu

[abstract heron]

Like I have other things on the go if I feel angry or bored in game

Like I do with steel I got to build probably 180 foundry’s or more idk yet for my factory

And sometimes I do morning of just placing machines and then leave a sign saying what I need to do like today

[modest dagger]

yeah best way to remember

i place it in tab

[abstract heron]

I use a sign in game

After or use it like this way is etc etc

[unkempt blade]

I like doing signs for input/output of a factory and I normally keep notes in a markdown notebook outside of the game

[modest dagger]

so u an old guy ?

[abstract heron]

And i use a sink with a conveyor thing once I am done with the production

[modest dagger]

all jokes no offence

[unkempt blade]

extremely old

[modest dagger]

50 ?

[unkempt blade]

but markdown is cool now because of AI crap

[modest dagger]

so digital markdown ?

[unkempt blade]

nah I write it out on paper I just like the syntax

[modest dagger]

ah ok

[abstract heron]

I use satisfactory calacator and then use magic machines to help it don’t have mk6 belts yet so using mk5

[modest dagger]

yeahh mk5 horrible with the uneven number i always rounded of at 600

[abstract heron]

I do ore Ofc 1200 but I supply until. Mk6 belts with magic machines extra ore spawning in

[unkempt blade]

mk5 is in the fibonacci sequence so it's actually a better number than 600

[abstract heron]

35 is 2 12 ones and then one 11 machine

[modest dagger]

no

[latent prawn]

very few things in the game work well at 780/min besides screws

[unkempt blade]

yeah it's more beautiful because it aligns with the golden ratio

[abstract heron]

12 times 65 780 and 11 times 65 is 715

[latent prawn]

um no, 60x13 = 780

[modest dagger]

#screenshots message so help do i make another factory for the output or make a mnew layer ?

[latent prawn]

13x5 = 65

[abstract heron]

In refinery’s it’s 65 at 12

[abstract heron]

845 to much for 780 belt

[latent prawn]

yep, that's because pure iron is 7->13

[abstract heron]

1200 then to 35 which I do then 35 to 2 12 ones and. Then last 11 one

[unkempt blade]

plus we all know the best conveyor is the mk3

[abstract heron]

Copper is like 80 at 1200

Caterium is like 52

[primal obsidian]

how do I mod this game

make a mod i meant

[unkempt blade]

probably want to ask on the modding discord or use their docs

[modest dagger]

is 57k rubber to much ?

[latent prawn]

if you want a fun combo, 26 default ingot smelters, and then 12 pure iron refineries will give you 2 belts of 780 ingots off of 1200 ore

[unkempt blade]

nah I'd make more

[modest dagger]

cuz im duping plastic and rubber with my 25k fuel ha

[latent prawn]

or 3 belts if you change that to basic iron

[modest dagger]

i like its simple just use mk6 bellt

[unkempt blade]

yeah but then it looks lame because the belt isn't full

[modest dagger]

or make even numbers

[modest dagger]

manifold and make last bit lesser

[latent prawn]

hard to make even numbers out of 7's, 11's or 13's

[modest dagger]

to complex what u mean ?

[restive umbra]

primes

[modest dagger]

yeah make it from 7 to 6 voila

11 to 10 13 to 12 simple

[restive umbra]

that means making more machines

[modest dagger]

yup why not

theres is enough place to build

my latest factory is 100x100

what should i do with exces fuel ?

[warped crane]

send it to fuel gens and burn it off to add to your grid

[modest dagger]

but its 20k exces

[warped crane]

or package and sink it if you're feeling wasteful

that's only 40 gens at 250%

[modest dagger]

im thinking stil duplicate plastic and rubber for more ai limiters and circuits ?

cuz im at 5k rubber and 10k plastic with still 20k fuel but idk what to do my head hurts

[abstract heron]

If u need to take a break do something else in game

[modest dagger]

like what ?

[abstract heron]

Base building or math or something

[modest dagger]

no math my head is exploding with math

building 400+ refinerys ima cry for 30k rubber and 30k plastic must be efficient said ada

[abstract heron]

Do it in smaller groups

[modest dagger]

like ? im building laye per layer

[normal orbit]

gonna need a lot more than 400 for 30k rubber and plastic/min

like 10-20x more

[modest dagger]

no its overclocked

[normal orbit]

yes with overclocks

[modest dagger]

need 25 plastic and 18.75 fuel to 150 rubber

im playing gamemode that recipe is 0.25

[normal orbit]

ah

[modest dagger]

on 1.2

yeah 1.2 is killing me thx ada

im consumbe'd by satisfactory ada remebering me that im alrdy playing for 16 hours

maybe i need sleep hmmm

not efficient

factory must grow

[quaint cedar]

I just made a 24 gigwatt power plant + 200 plastic and rubber per minute WITHOUT alt recipes OR yt guides😭💔
my brain hurts

[modest dagger]

i feel ya

[unique thistle]

Is the route tool thingy already a thing?

I just unlocked vehicles and am confused how to build the routes

[modest dagger]

yu mean the car path thinhgy

[elfin cape]

Its only on experimental

[unique thistle]

bruh

[elfin cape]

it releases june second

[unique thistle]

ait ima stop playing till then

any other big changes that will affect my world?

[slim frost]

You should ve able to continue on your save from 1.1 in 1.2, with upgrades 1.2 provide

[modest dagger]

@unkempt blade #screenshots message

[unique thistle]

perfecttt

[modest dagger]

wish i had pipe teleports cuz i have 120 blenders

[valid epoch]

Would be cool if there was an upgraded version of the dimensional depot that has an output and not only input 😉

[modest dagger]

true would be sick

[frozen ingot]

too ez

[modest dagger]

but would also take alot of place for building compact blueprints

im sinking 5k plastic PM and im getting now 6mil points in the sink how ?

[quiet mortar]

That would break game balance so hard

Like logistics is basically half the games fun

[modest dagger]

true also a big headache

[quaint cedar]

would make belt busses useless
trains
tractors
drones
and more

[empty bridge]

Hi All. Can someone link me a tutorial video on how to use trucks for dummies post

Post = please

[worn oar]

Why don't you look that up on youtube

Satisfactory truck tutorial

[empty bridge]

There’s so many I was hoping someone could post me something they recommended

[normal orbit]

would remove the logistics portion of the game, so no.

[normal orbit]

wait two weeks for 1.2, which completely changes truck system

[worn oar]

I haven't looked at any tutorials for trucks so you know as much as I do

[frozen ingot]

that's the point 😄 it's a challenge/puzzle

[modest dagger]

indeed

[sterile remnant]

more or less in two weeks is out the 1.2?

[normal orbit]

june 2nd

[modest dagger]

Q how do a make my factory work non stop of rubber and plastick with fuel i have exces every 2 blenders and i have 120 blenders so if 1 fill the whole factory stos and im wppy so idk what to do

[normal orbit]

you make the numbers match up

[modest dagger]

but its anoying and idk if its possible with that much fuel

[normal orbit]

its always possible

[empty bridge]

Are you able to move factory components or do you need to delete them and replace?

[normal orbit]

dismantle and rebuild

[empty bridge]

Such a shame you can’t move them. Perhaps in an update

[rancid galleon]

You get everything fully refunded when you dismantle, so you don't lose anything.

[next ivy]

you lose time

[normal orbit]

doubt moveing would be much faster

[hard wolf]

optional no dismantle refund setting when?

[rancid galleon]

1 second to dismantle, 1 second to press the hotkey to start placing it again. I'm good with it taking two whole seconds. xD

[worn oar]

I actually have no idea how people manage to beat the game with 20 GW power consumption. I'm at 5.93 GW and I haven't even started working on the phase 3 project parts 😩

[normal orbit]

build very small

like one machine per part

[worn oar]

But I'm only building one lil factory of each thing lol

Except for steel which I had to double for my sanity

Will there be a Steam achievement added for beating the game with a certain space elevator multiplier? Of course recipe parts and power consumption should be at 1x or above. It would also be nice if the various settings can give you a final score. Each time you beat the game, your personal score goes up by the final score. There should be an online leaderboard for personal scores.

[thin pilot]

if I reroll an alr recipe can I get it again

[normal orbit]

yes

[chrome crypt]

I DID THE EXPANDED TOOLBET UPGRADE IN THE MAM BUT I STILL HAVE 3 EQUIPS...ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX??

oops caps mb

[normal orbit]

did you skip onboarding?

[chrome crypt]

yes

[worn oar]

It skips some things to get you the right amount at the end

[normal orbit]

you get a bonus slot then, so the first reward doesnt do anything. at the end you should still get six with all research

[chrome crypt]

alright thank you!

[normal orbit]

this is fixed in 1.2

[tawdry kettle]

Hello I'm planning to buy the game on june 2 when 1.2 releases, I've only played industrialist on roblox before this

[frozen ingot]

just buy it now 😄

[tawdry kettle]

I think they'll discount the game when the update drops

[robust wigeon]

Best you can get is using big blueprints so when you dismantle them you get fewer boxes to delete 😔 good idea though

[worn oar]

It's discounted right now

[chrome crypt]

when 1.2 comes out do i have to make new save or can i play the current one??

[tawdry kettle]

Huh not for me

[worn oar]

You can keep your current save

[robust wigeon]

You should get it right now then tbh, also yeah you’d prolly like this, it’s not the same as industrialist but if you liked industrialist then satisfactory and factorio are good picks

Factorio is at a set price that will never change for any reason ever, so if you’re worried about missing out on discounts, that is something to think about I guess

But Satisfactory is overall the better game imo

[tawdry kettle]

I know about factorio not changing price

[tawdry kettle]

I'm waiting for a discount

[robust wigeon]

Look up the next steam sale

Summer sale may be your best bet, iirc that’s coming up

[tawdry kettle]

Don't they discount when they release an update?

[frozen ingot]

don't think so

[normal orbit]

not historically

but summer sale isnt far off

[tawdry kettle]

It is far off💀

Starts in july

[normal orbit]

just a month and change

[tawdry kettle]

I'll just buy the game on June 2nd regardless of any discount

[normal orbit]

considering the playtime it offers, its pretty good value at any price

[tawdry kettle]

Imma sleep now it's almost 3am here, thanks for the answers people!

[worn oar]

How much power storage do you guys create? I've been doing 2 hours worth of max consumption.

[normal orbit]

not much

enough time to throw the switch again if it starts draining em

[rough crest]

#screenshots message

[worn oar]

@slate veldt the logistics technology allows you to create mergers

[unkempt blade]

that's about what I used to do (I only play MP so it friendproofs things) but lately I've been using less storage and more priority switches

[hexed token]

You 100% will not regret it

[elfin cape]

I love this about Factorio

Sales suck

[frozen ingot]

rocket fuel in the jetpack is so fun 😄

[quiet mortar]

i cba to get aluminum to my rocket fuel plant

so i never tried it

[merry canyon]

you research tech on the mam and it's 4 sec. you do a hard drive 10m fml

[abstract heron]

There are mods which do that in half the time

[merry canyon]

i did just figure out i can drop and delete mams while i wait on it

wish i knew that like 80 drives ago

@slate veldt research mergers and splitters

looks like tier 1 logistics milestone

[worthy python]

Anyone know where i can g
Find a doggo

[unborn moss]

The doggo pound

[young sentinel]

how many points */5 is this guide?
https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/CommunityResources/TrainSignalGuide.html

[unkempt blade]

Just make a temporary MAM as soon as you loot the drive and keep researching them while you run around. It's like a 200hr save to finish stuff up for most people so 10m isn't so much 🤣

[latent prawn]

load your save file into scim and it'll show the nearby wildlife

[abstract heron]

Mine lags in scim I mean

[latent prawn]

ok

[wild phoenix]

What stage is geyser electricity again?

[worn oar]

Any stage

[wild phoenix]

Of space elevator

[worn oar]

It's unlocked in the MAM

[unkempt blade]

the wiki is helpful for that stuff 🙂

[wild phoenix]

Is it the alt energy in sulfur?

[worn oar]

No

[wild phoenix]

Aw

[wild phoenix]

Imma check that yeah

[worn oar]

That two letter comment had more revisions than my final paper

[wild phoenix]

Oh cat tech tree

600mw 🤑

[worn oar]

Average of 7.1 GW for all of them

[wild phoenix]

Tier 5 tho

🥀

Because of the oil requirement for the plastic

[worn oar]

Crash sites

[thick cave]

Hey question
How do I automate iodine infused filters

[worn oar]

Manufacturers

[unkempt blade]

with the manufacturer

[wild phoenix]

True true

But still

For large scale production I would need to get oil

Im about to unlock space elevator 2 tho

[earnest condor]

When Turbo Ammo is technically a Phase 4 thing but you find enough Aluminium Casings at drop pods to make 10k+ of it in Phase 3

[thick cave]

problem

they require the gas filters

so

[wild phoenix]

Or phase three according to the wiki

[unkempt blade]

nothing left to do but uninstall then I guess

[worn oar]

Automate that too

[weak axle]

You can make fabric with the alternate recipe of polyester fabric

[worn oar]

Automate everything

[wild phoenix]

Jet pack Ayyyy

I need to rush it

[worn oar]

Make a 240/minute portable miner factory just because you can

[thick cave]

i dont have fabric alt recipe

and you need fabriv

[jagged smelt]

*yet

[worn oar]

After you get to oil it's free. Just grab your first 100 polymer

[thick cave]

I have oil....

[worn oar]

Fuel recipe -> fuel and resin -> yoink resin

[thick cave]

again i dont have alt fabric recipe yet

[elder oracle]

I don’t have the alternative recipe for copper ingots yet so I have to use smelters 😭

[unkempt blade]

the wiki can tell you how to get it

[worn oar]

Make 50 regular fabric

[thick cave]

yea i just saw

[wild phoenix]

Fucking finalement I got cast screws

[elder oracle]

1.2 is coming out June 2nd

YAEY

[thick cave]

but first imma make the super computer + radio components factory

[wild phoenix]

I can make smaller screw factory

[unkempt blade]

nice! cast screws is the best recipe in the game

[wild phoenix]

I make so many fucking screws

[wild phoenix]

Well iron wire would be nice

[elder oracle]

I make about 1200 screws per minute

[wild phoenix]

Rookie numbers

Idk how much I make but it’s a lot more than I need 😭

[elder oracle]

it’s the most I can have rn due to the limitations of mk6 conveyor belts

[wild phoenix]

« Limitations » I’m at rank three conveyors 😭

I just have a fuck ton of individual industrial storage lined up in a row

[elder oracle]

I could be making nearly 5x that amount if I fully overclocked everything

or 3x

[wild phoenix]

Yeah I overclocked the shit out of it

I timed it once I filled up an industrial storage in like 5 mins I think

Im not sure

It was fast

[elder oracle]

I just don’t have power shards automated yet

[dense violet]

you can still do groups of 8 that way, you just have to drag belts and pipes more

[elder oracle]

and also I make like 200 extra iron rods at a time

and I only use manifolds so that might be a downside

[wild phoenix]

I spent like 2 hours today hunting slugs

😭

[dense violet]

why is that a downside?

[worthy python]

What thta

[elder oracle]

If you are making more items than 1 conveyor can handle, it can result in a loss of resources per minute

This is why we need conveyor mk7

[dense violet]

don't merge them onto the same belt in the first place. Problem solved
and that's not a manifold problem

[elder oracle]

I know that

[dense violet]

then how is that a manifold downside?

that's literally just you cramming more parts per min than a belt can handle.

[elder oracle]

it isn’t really a downside

I’m not gonna explain how manifolds work rn

[dense violet]

I'm very aware how manifolds work

[worthy python]

What is scim

[dense violet]

I was trying to clarify this
"and also I make like 200 extra iron rods at a time
and I only use manifolds so that might be a downside"
since it didn't make sense

[dense violet]

Save editor

it's also a 100% exploration spoiler though. I'd probably avoid it at the start

[worthy python]

Is that a web site what

Link?

So I can have it for later

[dense violet]

just search satisfactory save editory at any point, you'll find it

it may be the only save editor online

[worthy python]

Ulcer , is there any way I can see my belts and stuff like that from the map

[dense violet]

I mean the save editor will do that kinda but it's real bad at it unless everything you make is on the same floor forever

[worthy python]

Sorry , my voice to text is sometimes a little dudgey

Hmm

[dense violet]

because with multiple floors there'll be many layers

[worthy python]

Also I found out you can hold space while in the craft and bench

[dense violet]

tap space and it'll go on without you holding

[worthy python]

Realy

[warped crane]

I'm building a nuke plant that doesn't bring in any resources from off-site except uranium, 4x uranium cell, 2x plutonium cell, 1x ficsonium cell. no waste

it's also going to have a little weapons factory on the side 👀

[worthy python]

OWhat u can do that

Omg

[dense violet]

why would I lie to you?

but you really shouldn't be handcrafting much anyway

[worthy python]

I uh idk that what saved a lot of holding back when I first started.I'm about 90H into

[warped crane]

you can theoretically handcraft your way through the whole game... but then there's no game left to play 🤔

[dense violet]

there's many items you can't handcraft

[worthy python]

Oil?

[dense violet]

any fluids and space parts at least . Maybe others

[wild phoenix]

No

[warped crane]

yes

[rapid stirrup]

so what is generally the preferred resource distribution method? Central production of one resource, then wide distribution, or produce on-site and keep things modular?

also trucks or no trucks?

[dense violet]

either way works

centralisation tends to be a lot more work though

and if you want trucks, use them. Plan factory locations and paths around them

but if you haven't finished all the phases yet it'll be a bit of a waste of time to put that much work into just the tutorial

[rapid stirrup]

did you mean to imply that the space elevator phases are the tutorial?

[dense violet]

Not imply, directly state.
They aren't a challenge
you have infinite resources and time, and the sloppiest most stuttering factories will finish that along with a few long belts across the landscape

basically just there to teach you the basics to a sandbox mode

either

a) you'll finish the phases and then be finished with the game
or
b) you'll unlock everythign and do your own sand box projects

either way none of your previous factories will be useful for anything but building parts for your more thought out projects planned together

this game is much more like minecraft than other automation games I've seen

Ok I should rephrase the not a challenge bit

the point of the phases aren't a challenge to complete them, the challenge comes from learning the mechanics and tactics to learn how thigns work and how to manage them. But that's very tutorial

if you care about your factories not being a mess in any case. You can also choose to learn almost nothing and finish the phases

[rapid stirrup]

That is certainly an understanding of "tutorial". I would not call it that

[dense violet]

Each milestone drips you new little things to think about in design and you don't have any restrictions on time or resources. And your needs change every tier and phase that previous factories really don't mesh.
plus future proofing is basically a fools game so it's not like you can realistically make an overall final plan as you're going up the tiers and make every part of the system work flawlessly

realistically you need acess to every tech, option and a steady stream of all parts

[marble notch]

this is true for deeply enfranchised players, but for the overwhelming majority of people the elevator stages are the main progression

hell i have 1k hours in satisfactory and i usually dont play saves much past finishing the elevator

[dense violet]

seems like a waste not playing a sandbox game as a sandbox but you do you

[marble notch]

i engage with the sandbox as i complete the objectives in different ways. the whole point of a sandbox is that there's no wrong way to play which you're kinda undermining by calling a different way of playing a "waste."

[dense violet]

a sandbox is doing your own goal. Which is not what the phases are

[white dawn]

I'd still disagree with "sandbox game" as a fundamental definition of the game. It's certainly sandbox-adjacent, and if you continue playing beyond the game-given goals (milestones, Elevator deliveries) then it becomes a pure sandbox

But the game also undeniably has literally hundreds of hours of explicit, game-given goals to achieve

And it's not a "waste" if someone decides they're done after finishing those

[earnest condor]

Pretty much, yes.

[white dawn]

Personally I just don't generally do well in "pure" sandbox games, and I've never really played any of my Satisfactory playthroughs much after finishing the last milestones, apart from also ticking off whatever was remaining on my own personal TODO

[rapid stirrup]

And if I understood it correctly, what makes it a "tutorial" is the existence of given goals.

[sharp compass]

At what phase do I start doing SAM production line? Idk I just started oil and have everything from steel automated

[earnest condor]

You can start it in Phase 1 if you want.

[white dawn]

Also we're talking about a game where the period of time during which you're working towards game-given explicit goals can be literally hundreds of hours.

[sharp compass]

Would u have access to all the materials to produce the stuffs?

[white dawn]

Not for any full production lines, but you can at least start making RSAM

You can finally fully automate SAM Fluctuators once you have the Manufacturer (which is in phase 4)

And then the bulk of the actual factory-production lines which utilize same are basically all in Phase 5

[earnest condor]

Define "the stuffs"?

[worthy python]

For bolt belts is it better to have them side ways or up and down with stackable plose

[dense violet]

is this just a layout question? if that's the case it's entirely up to you - belts don't care about layout or elevation changes

For example I enjoy sushi belts quite often. Which puts all the items on 1 belt

[worthy python]

True

[worthy python]

Whats that

[dense violet]

well if you need iron and coal for steel on foundries? you can ste it up so the iron and coal are on 1 belt

you do need smart splitters for it though ,but that's eas y

[worthy python]

Oh

[dense violet]

example feeding manufacturers with 1 belt #design-and-architecture message

can keep things very neat and tidy

[worthy python]

Ye

[worthy python]

#design-and-architecture message

What do u think

[dusk pasture]

how do u feed them with 1 belt if u have to feed manfacturers with different items

[dense violet]

put all the items on 1 belt
use smart splitters to feed the right items into hte right ports

You'll need an over flow to the awesome sink at first, while it stabalises , but after that you can remove the sink

[dusk pasture]

thats inefficient asf

[dense violet]

.. how?

[dusk pasture]

cause its easier to use lifts?

[dense violet]

... how?

[dusk pasture]

prevents all the overflow bullcrap

[dense violet]

you would need 4 belts instead of 1

[earnest condor]

Oh, I have screenshots for this! 🙂

[dusk pasture]

what difference does that make

[earnest condor]

@dense violet Manufacturer sushi or Assembler sushi?

[dense violet]

a lot fewer belts, no need for lifts and just smart splitters instead of regular

[dense violet]

I like both. Anything with multiple ports

[dusk pasture]

the lifts makes the items go directly into the right port

instead of doing all the overflow and smart splitters stuff

[earnest condor]

No but like, what examples should I post for this specific discussion?

[dusk pasture]

• its alot more organized than using 1 belt cause 1 belt can hold only a specific amount of items

[dense violet]

the splitters make them go right into the right port?
and manifolds already rely on over flow

[dusk pasture]

while you have to merge the items into the one belt

[dusk pasture]

manifolds are purely used for ingots and ores..

[dense violet]

if you want more machines you make more manifolds

[dense violet]

ok that's the silliest take I've read on this server in a while so I'm not going to bother with you anymore as it's not going to go anywhere
good luck with life

[dusk pasture]

goodluck merging items with belts that have 480 per minute

[cursive topaz]

Guys should I power through phase 4 and 5 before 1.2 or just restart at 1.2 with my new knowledge

[dusk pasture]

restart

[worn oar]

Yes

[white dawn]

I'd go for option 3: continue playing at your current pace, as your game goes through a v1.2 upgrade

Starting over from scratch can end up kind of demoralizing for folks a lot of the time

[glossy scarab]

What do I do if I want to build a big factory in a space with not a lot of open space?

I haven’t unlocked jet pack yet

[dense violet]

if you build multiple floors you have infinite space

[merry canyon]

There's like zero physics except water lift so build a floating base and you've solved the space part

[glossy scarab]

What if I need water?

[dense violet]

you can use pumps
