Thankyou I will check it out
im playing on the expirimental branch and i having an issue where it says i already have a hub built but i dont
I misread your comment
Nah ur fine
#satisfactory-experimental for troubleshooting 1.2 stuff.
Dw about it
This summer is gonna be incredible actually
I got invited to a dnd group by some friends, and will be like actually doing stuff instead of lounging all day
Found the problem
Seems my steel is stealing all the coal and stealing all my power
Shouldn't those 2 things have completely separate coal supplies that do not interact at all?
It’s two deposits here and they just share but sometimes they take more when I amp up the overdrive
My problem is completely solved
Hey so there’s this green looking pill thing I made.. it looks kinda yummy.. want one?
Now my consumption is like 350mw on average and my production is 525mw
YES
Here, have one! :>
i feel funny
Why did the chicken cross the road
Cause I was eating it :>
no silly goose, to get to the other side
see? Funny
I. AM. A. DUCK.
aw, u are such a handsome Swan
i am loving being a nerd while overclocking everything
still silly
🤓
pushes on detonator
or evil
hey whats tha-AHGHHGHGG
When I angy, my 1/16th of a brain cell turns into 3 brain cells and I get smarter for a bit
not at the hrs yet
Get to work!
I AM fully overclocking stuff 🙂
and when i start to reach closer ill ping community mangers to see what to do at 20khrs
WELL.. WORK SLOWER!
hold up lemme go buy a whip
I AM WORKING ON IT NETHER the game but summer temps and ya
okay I couldn’t find any whips, but I found this really giant, extremely stale candy cane I can whack you with.
The ones I care about are just normal paths
due to FPS problems i am working on fully overclocking stuff in my world
smacks with stale giant candycane work slower
GET THEM HOURS CUH
Working on it 😛
WELL WORK HARDER ON WORKING SLOWER! smack
But i do need to talk to mikael and jason today about something
i do play but no rushing me
I AM RUSHING YOU! forcefully rushes :>
i have some ideas in the server not set in stone when i reach 20k hrs
20k hours that’s like 2 and a half years
Do you just leave the game open all the time or something
I got like 35 hours
hey, new here and really love the game. what’s up?
is dis good 19,724 hrs on record
i've already got 100 hours and im on phase 4
I got a long way to go before I finish it then
Phase 4 and i am at umm 5,876hrs
What was taking you so long
i’m close to you, i have 300 hours
making 200-400 nuclear pasta per minute
Are you trying to make it accurate to real life speed
i wanna a changelle for it
probably building mansions
snorts all of your copper powder sorry
i added my save on here on Friday NON overclocking world to see if the devs can fix it or patch it
i just build machines on the floor or build a ground if needed
my game never lags
i have mega bases 😛
I snorted all your copper powder, sorry. No pasta for you
is everyone here an engineer irl just like the rumors?
I have a challenge for you. NO FOUNDATIONS, NO USING STRAIGHT BUILD MODE
i wanted to make 1000 nuclear pasta per minute but to much time for it and 2 i have other space elevator stuff
Not doing that in 1.0 world
meanie
still on 1.0 WORLD
so nothing NEW NEW or challenges
Until after 1.0 k
not being mean but i need to finish my world in a decent time
bit late for that
cause 1.3 IF AND WHEN could be has to make me restart
conveyor mergers
You having a stroke?
No just dont read befor i send
Then start reading

Pff
Yeah, you’re fucked.
You could use 2 mergers that go into a single merger
Hmm like?
merger that takes 3 inputs and merger that takes 2 inputs and merge those into another merger
2 mergers that connect two belts into it, and a second that connects three. Then another merger that connects the two previous mergers into one line.
What the homie Penguin said. Love this guy!
i love this guy too
Wanna snort petroleum coke with me?
hahaha
feel like the mk4/mk5 poles gonna be useless with the new update since all machines will be connected to eachother
theoretically the only thing you will need in a room is a single outlet
It wasn’t a question. Snort the 40 industrial containers full of it with me.
i already sent it all down the awesome sink
you fucking what?
well that's interesting... my Satisfactory is crashing on launch. 4 times in a row now... odd

anybody else have the same issue?
I ate singularity cells and it made me smortir
are you playing right now?
Sadly naw

I’m doing my nightly routine of drinking 54 thousand barrels of ionized fuel and going to sleep.
Goodnight, my new friend.
Can have BIG BIG BIG BIG factorys cause FPS leaks
What goes into ||alien power augmenter||
Also don't touch the laser
i think its an ingredient idk yet ill unlock them
Am on fas 4
im on 2
Oki
yea it seems to be just an ingredient just like wire n such
Hey everyone! My game keeps crashing for some reason, and I can't quite figure it out. I am sorry if this is the wrong chat to send these kinds of issues.

Arr u running modd
Mods
I am not
make a QH please not here
should that say UE5?
Yeah happens occasionally, should have been something i planned out beforehand but i have no way around it now
Ok👍
people can crash for other types of reasons or something happened
I'm not sure its fixed, but ntdll usually means you try to launch the game in DX12 (DirectX 12) and your GPU doesn't support that.
So in Steam you can Right click Satisfactory in your Library, select Properties, under General Tab there is Launch Options, in there you want to type -dx11
This will "force" the game to launch in dx11
Thank you! I'll try it out now. Ho,wever I believe my GPU does support DX12 cause I have RTX 3080
Trur
make a post in #1038092680493801533 it's a lot easier and you get your own thread
and it won't be barried in here
Thanks guys!
and also wait people will respond when ready
doesnt seem a dx12 issue, load your save into scim and select all your factories and choose to clear selected belts/lift, download save and try to load it
there's a QaH topic for it 🙂
¯_(ツ)_/¯
... I don't know what to pick between 2 alt recipes: Caterium Wire or Steel Rotor... Caterium Wire is insane for Quickwire production, but Steel Rotor can help me phase out Screws...
I'll probably get Caterium first and hope to reroll the Steel Rotor, but maaan, why both on the same HD? ;_;
get whatever you think you might use next
you're unever locked out of a recipe and there's more drives on the map than options
flip a coin, you can get all alts anyway
(though my personal biased opinion is that steel rotor is extremely expensive and phasing out screws is kinda pointless)
caterium wire is regular wire btw, not quickwire
which is still useful as a resource swap, but is a bit niche
My bad. French/English confusion.
what are some of the best videos on setting up trains
yea im makin a bucketload of rotors with iron pipes and caterium wire and the alt
a rotor alt i mean
.... eh... iron pipe
when there's so much coal next to iron I have no idea why it's so popular. It just chews through iron
and again, caterium wire is a bit niche, its not nearly as common as copper or iron for wire
it was a niche situation
... Oh. Latest HD is giving me a choice between Heavy Encased Frame and Caterium Circuit Board.
Heavy Encased Frame it'll probably be.
I was entirely prepared to spend 1000 dna capsules for a ticket goddamn
I’m in tier 8, how should I approach building a train infrastructure across the world to transport resources? The main challenge I see is laying out all the rails on the terrain and it’ll be all very tiring and time consuming
it's very quick if you want.
basically zoop foundations along the whole path
print train towers that hold 2 way rail on top.
basically done
a simple example #1503337556576702564 message
zooping the foundations first helps plan the route avoiding future issues plus helps keep everything very neat. Can always delete after
thank you!
I kind of want to have them suspended too but possibly higher so I can avoid the bumpiness of the terrain
you can hug the terrain pretty close by keeping it 2 foundations wide.
helps avoid sky infrastructure
and if you really want to manage terrain, stacked rail is very useful #design-and-architecture message
Is it a good idea or kind of repetitive if i played already 1.0 to start with 1.2?
it's a sandbox game. You unlock everything and then create your own projects.
Basically done with you have no more ideas
more examples of hugging terrain #design-and-architecture message
Embedded failure
imo you treat teh milestones as just a tutorial. Once yo uunlock everything yo ucan just do anything you like
looks fantastic, reminds me of the black mesa intro
yeah I can see that XD
and stacked rail functions basically exactly like side by side rail. It's pretty easy
how did you create the illuminated panels on the supports?
just signs on high brightness
Oh
and the curving glass walls?
I could only place them at 90 degree angles at the edges of foundations
those were entirely to help set up the pipes and belt undre
but they were easy, first you curve the foundations, then build windows on top
I just bought a bunch of music from the awesome shop where do I get it?
So you use an unaligned foundation to anchor a rotated wall
pinged you in other channel
Nvm
not failure, they are disabled intentionally
(and your message is perfect example of why they are disabled)
Trains: For a global network around the world (I'm currently connecting the south of grass fields to my oil factory), two rails going in two different directions should be enough?
well, more than two rails won't really work since trains always pick shortest path
Will I need to try to "segments" the rails in order for several trains to engage the same rails? Granted with intersections it should be fine-ish.
Oh, right. Same for vehicules in 1.2 (from what I saw)
so if you want more than two rails, you'd need basically two isolated grids
OK, gotcha 👍
Would be nice if the map could show where the roads and rails actually are...
(and also, I wouldn't recommend "building a global network". Build one route at a time and let the network grow organically)
At least rails are relatively cheap to make. That will definitely change how I approach the game once everything is set up.
Noted!
You don't like memes? Whats wrong with it? confusion
I like non-meme channels readable
I see
back when embeds were allowed, every third message was a reaction gif, channel was unusable
Xd
not really funny. We have meme channels if you want to meme, but discussion channels should be kept clean
Im the kind of guy who likes to make memes out of everything, it distracts me from my already miserable life lol
how long does it take to become a veteran? i have 600 hours played on satisfactory but i keep starting new saves because it becomes to complicated. the furthest ive gotten is automating adaptive control unit and modular engine
You should split your progression, not think all at once
honestly I'd probably recommend just pushing through to the end - learn everything and then practice by making your own projects
One small step towards success is better then one huge step to burn out
good morning

Everything's OK with you?
This. I almost did the "restart from scratch" thing, but it genuinely would have led me nowhere.
besides i have to go to work soon things are great ^_^ HBU
Trains: I gather creating big intersections with Mk.2 Blueprint moduler is out of the question? I'll check real quick if I can at least make a T or X one.
I have the day off today, so yeah—everything's good!
... Fudge. I have a problem with my hypertube. It feels like a section isn't loading properly, thus I'm ejected midway.
Yes, it's a current bug, I have it too. You'll have to wait for the update.
Damn. Well, if it's fixed in 1.2, great, but my very long hypertube is kinda useless for now... Oh well, 1 week to wait.
Sorry, bro—haha.
i just made a factory for rotors and reinforced iron plates and also a steel setup. im about to make a modular frame factory but im wondering if i should produce anything alongside with it
like versatile framework
i actually have such a fire setup
im so excited
I wanted to build a nuclear power plant, but I ran out of power to produce the materials xD
how do you upkeep power supply at late game
Nuclear power plant with over 30 buildings and a whole lot of batteries.
lots of power options
... Great, my hypertube pipeline is essentially unusable... (sigh). Really hope this is indeed fixed in 1.2.
Lowkey i did like 3 saves i got too discouraged seeing other people s factories but now im jst playing the game only for the fun of making progression, not to make factories like other people
should i setup a battery and computer factory once i reach that stage
i had one going on my last save
and then i quit
rebuild the area?
3? i have ü20 saves
before fused frames
if you need computers and batteries, yeah
Already did. Multiple times. The section that goes wrong is different each time. It's like an entire section of the hypertube doesn't load properly and my character is then ejected (I checked: I can move through the hypertube like it wasn't there; waiting a few seconds and/or moving around eventually make it "reappear").
how do batteries help with power gen?
i had to have a computer factory to support my adaptive control unit factory
then build it as part of the ACU factory instead
Well im relatively new to the game
I have like 60 hours total, 2 saves i did with 2 friends and the current one im the only one playing
But im focusing more on exploration aswell especially now since i unlocked trains, i think they make the game way more fun
this is the best game you will ever play bro
between the movement and the actual logistics of the gmae
its so much fun
Ik i spent like 14 hours in 2 days during exams playing
Lowkey blueprints are such a life saver
Ye but i dont use it
its so worth
I use the calculator map site thing
the one from the interactive map? it's a little awkward and does'nt do loops well
I do the calculations mostly on my head, not cuz im genius but i repeat the same numbers and same results 10 times until i understand how i need to do stuff
I used it yesterday to get ton of sam, didnt know where the nodes were
oh ok thats tuff
I recommend this one
and a benefit of the planner is you can swap out recipes very quickly to see different results
Might be funny what i say but i also use gemini to help me with calculation stuff
don't use chat bots. They will screw you
apart from LLMs being garbage intrinsicly
I mean till now its been really helpful, plus since im focusing more on exploring for now im not spending too much time planning my factory
Highkey this game is such a slog sometimes why do I have to double the amount of stuff I've built already just for nuclear 😭
ai is bogus
click the link. You can create reliable plans in seconds and not rely on a garbage tech that , fingers cross, collapses economically very soon
I tried building a megafactory, it looked like Alcatraz so i jst stopped planning it
OK. Removing all the "wall supports" somehow fixed my issue - in one way. Trying it the other way now.
why use something that takes two minutes to get you a 90% accurate answer, if you can use something else that takes two seconds and gets you 100% accurate answer?
Idk, more comfortable ig
Ill give the planner a try
But now ima focus on discovering more
Phew.... OK. Rails and Hypertube reached Rhino peninsula. Now to connect those to oil.
Holy shit the green stinger behind the breakable rocks near the 4 bauxite nodes is jumpscare material
That got me good
Crap... I didn't align my rails on the world grid. I can fix the latter portions but I'll forgo this one, this would take too long to fix (and I shouldn't let my OCD dictate how I enjoy the game)
world grid kinda sucks tho
yeah, ignore WG
unless all you want is straight lines and 90 degree turns
but it looks kinda bad imo
and even then you can just do custom grid
specially if doing train tracks, let those be your "grid", so whatever orientation you have when you get to the place you wanna build, use that.
why would you want to?
completely restricts your design options
OCD. But yeah, obviously I shouldn't, and I won't in the future.
trivial way to merge foundations even if you do want to connect foundations, which you also don't need https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX_2i8T3Dbw
Thank you very much for this amazing suggestion! This will make things easier!
does coffee stian sutdio sometimes give free keys?
no..
okay thanks
Very seldomly as prizes to competition winners, but most of those competitions need you to already own Satisfactory.
i do own satisfactory
i didnt witness any key giveaways for as long as I am here tho. Merchandises and some discounts happened but maybe I missed key give aways
👍
Never seen just giving away.
But various competitions have had Coffee Stain Publishing published games keys as prizes, so including Satisfactory.
But very seldomly.
But I haven't paid attention what has been the normal prizes for the 2-hour build competitions that happen multiple times per year.
If those can have keys too.
Can someone help me please figure out where these supposed quartz nodes are around -1729, -1455
why is my max power consumption 1600
i hate your name 
because your machines can consume that much when running fully
i only have4 things connected
what zone are you in?
there are some things that can use 15000mw
I don't know the names but it's north west edge of the map
Those are in a cave.
North of the beaches where most people build their oil rigs
the entrances are on the costs , both far east and west
WHYYYY
why not?
because all the starter zones have either caterium or quartz a bit awkward to get
I came here to build a computer factory
[flow chart]
is it a desert? > does it have lots of rocks? [y: rocky desert] [n: dune desert]
I don't want to be messing with caves
like a trainstation? but it says 50
exploration is a big part of the game
rails carry power - so if you have rails it's connected to other things
belting out of caves is a little messy though
train tracks connect grids, so if you have more stations, they are all connected
oh ok thanks
go find a different place then 🙂
clip through the ceiling.
I might have to 😢
Cave entrances as shown #screenshots message
@zenith pecan thanks a lot
just get a gun and blade runners
if course it's full of spiders lol
can i disconnect train stations from my power?
delete rali
Is there still no way to sleep or skip the night?
never was
well, apart from just creative mode/advanced game settings locking of day time
i know, i was asking if there still isnt
i wanna finish the game vanilla so i guess its time for lights
probably, otherwise it would have been added by now
it disables achievements no?
yeah
maybe in the future once i get the 100%
well you can enable it back easily
not a big deal
Satisfactory: I am up top finish tier 5 any one to join ?\
I found something named caterium its a ressource but i can only mine it with the mobile miners can i automate it somehow?
you can mine it with normal miners as well
not working
why not?
did you clear the node?
then you need to get that out of the way somehow
there may be either deposit or a big boulder in the way
if you cant clear the boulder yet then you can only use portable miners on it for now
(or find another node)
my dissapointment and frustration when i realized that drones can only fly between two destinations
https://imgur.com/a/TrBjSYG looks like this
Hey rq question about satisfactory calcylator is there anyway i can put the miners to level 2 cuz their automatically always on 3 lowkey confusing
there is something like a stone on top of the caterium
U need explosives to destroy it
U can unlock it in the mam at sulfur
tbh the calculator on that site is pretty bad
Ik i tried it once but like its bad yk so i did my big plans on paper
Any other website you know about?
https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/ may be a good fit for you
can you show me a picture what is sulfur i have my game on german
aw ty
I'll show it to u in the dms
okay
Who needs a teammate?
Rq question im rn making supercomputers for the 1st part for phase 4 should i make more for later yk
yes
no
people in #1201555265942724758
i guess its up to you lol
no point in making things in advance, unless you know exactly how much you'll need
make what you need now
why does my signal keep saying it loops into itself what does that even mean
and why did removing and placing it again solve the problem
because the block before and after the signal are the same block
meaning the signal doesn't actually split rails into two blocks
you either:
- placed it in a different place which made it split the rails correctly
- or you are placing a signal directly on a junction, which sometimes bugs out (in 1.1, idk about 1.2), so it's recommended to not snap signals to junctions directly
How do you unlock windows? which TIER is it?
Biased
I agree with you actually. But biased still
Can someone tell me if this is indeed the correct way to make a watertower so all pipes on the other side dont need pumps?
before even looking i would not recommend making a water tower
yeah definitely don't do that @fierce matrix

but i heard that was the good way to do it
just pump water whereever it needs to go, you don't need to artificially pump it higher than it needs to go, it doesn't simplify
yeah sometimes what you hear ain't good 😄
i'm not sure why it seems to be popular honestly, except perhaps for the aesthetic cos who doesn't like a cool tall tower
cuz from what i understand the purpose of a water tower is to "pressurize" the pipes so you dont need pumps on the other end of it
i've never ever built one and i do just fine 😄
that
this is correct and it does work, i think, but arguably it is a giant pain to pump all of that water higher than it needs to go in the first place - particularly with your build, it looks like you're trying to use a lot of water. You'd have to do it for each line
and i dont wanna bother with putting pumps on this pipeline
you'll need even more pumps 😉 to get it up the tower
3 pumps for that tower vs the 20 pumps id need on the total pipeline
not sure where you're getting those numbers from
just pump the water where it needs to go
¯_(ツ)_/¯
if you want to build a cool tower for the look of the thing, do that too 😄
10 pipes, 2 elevation changes needing 1 pump per pipe on both of the inclines
vs 3 pumps on that dinky little tower
sounds like you're only thinking about consolidating the water for the tower?
consolidate it, pump it, split it?
don't get me wrong though, play it the way you want - try the water tower method by all means. I've never tried it, but i do hear it works 🤣 i just don't think the logic behind it is sound
the tower has a seperate pipe, 1 singular pipe that just feeds into the 10 other pipes with valves
ahhh that might be part of the whole thing
still sounds like a hassle, pumps aren't that difficult 🤣
it does appear to work
they arent, but the tower is neato. and i wont have clipping pumps
and means you have to connect all your pipes for them to benefit? seems odd
you do you buddy, like i said, play the way you want to. That's part of the beauty of this game!
just be aware that they're not necessary by any means 🙂
very diverse game
one of the best i've ever played! ❤️
neither are the 50hmf i wanna wake but here we are
Only 50? 😏
i did 45 in my last update 8 playthrough
Gotta bump them numbers UP
wut? 😄
did you mean 1000?
the amount of stuff needed for 100 heavy modular frames is massive
ohh
and i only have 480 belts rn
Did somebody say a 100?
oh god i summoned the heavy modular frame god
then youll need more belts
pretty sure you could make as many HMFs as you want with mk3 belts
what recipes did you end up using? if you dont mind me asking
possibly even mk2
oh you could. but then youd just need alot of belts
The default ones :)
But I am not finished yet
screws
I need to automate versitile framework for phase two cause im almost done… how many
/m do i go for
I just finished another supply station. Still 5 to go.
i just run a fuel line under my roads to and feed all my truck stations
im doing the 50 hmf a a bit of an odd way
oh my
Its all Mk. 4 belts (or lower)
im using the heavy encased alt
4800 iron and 1800 limestone if you round the numbers. no coal / copper cuz alts
Once it is running this will be 24.000 Iron Ore/min, 9.000 Limestone/min, and 9.000 Coal/min
but will it make you happy? 😛
i bet it does
Most definitely
i was very happy with my 45 pm one
My PC less so probably
think i did like 25? ish. and that was fine
Hi I'm knew to the game I got 2 weeks ago
just buy a better one for this game 
but i'm doing nuclear power now for the first time and i suspect that will open up possibilities for some ludicrously big factories 😄
i really need to consider my next powerplant
i have around 13000mw of coal power right now. and all of it is close to being used when this 50hmf factory is done. i still have to do motors and computers
I know a lot for a noobie because I've what a lot of videos on it
thats great
but how do you know those videos were good and accurate? 😛
13GW of coal power? 😄 dang
yes
damn im only at 2.4
the entire east coast of the dune desert + a sulfur node
how do you guys add floors to your factories?
i normally do about 2.4 and find that's enough to get me to diluted packaged fuel, which is where i try and scale up quite a bit
Because they where imkibitz videos
although i can see the appeal of a lot of coal power 😄 and it is easy to build
it was knocked out relatively quickly
and i have all the coal on 1 bus now for future projects
oh like a factorio style main bus? wouldn't recommend those either for Satisfactory
Gotta bump them numbers up.
not yet
im trying to figure out if i want to move my factory to the dune part of dune desert to get away from the rocks
the dune part isnt very flat even if it appears to be
its better than having rocks everywhere in my factory
true
i just build platforms ngl
and i really dont want to flatten then go up by 50 meters
ah i see, just a big ol' beltway right?
one doesn't move a factory 😄 one builds more! 😄
yeah, just a highway with a few coal belts on it. still is a "bus" i believe
although i do have a kind of "main bus" under my storage room. i thought it would look cool. its still very much WIP tho
i'm not sure of the definitions tbh 😄 assuming 'main bus' is different to 'bus'. I know a lot of players from Factorio implement a main bus, which due to certain differences between the games doesn't really work in SF
busses in this game are terrible, won't recommend
will prob look alot better when i have the glowy belts
no, belt highway isn't a bus
what makes a bus different from a belt highway then? i am uneducated
bus = centralised logistical setup to distribute resources across machines
belt (highway) = logistical setup to transport things from A to B
okay
"main bus" is just a bus in your main base
yeah makes sense
i have alot of belt highways in my current save cuz i dont see the point of making a road and truckstops in the dune desert if i can just put belts on that road
yeah totally valid approach, they definitely work 🤣 i do like the vehicles though, they're fun, although i do miss the old system for making a route
ive started liking trains but i havent unlocked them in this save yet
as i havent had the need to leave the desert yet
probably will have to once i start on computors for oil
trains are sweet, although i still haven't embraced them yet. Drones are sweet too
yeah by the time you hit oil you'll be building items from resources that are at least 1km away from each other
well i do have oil
theres 3 nodes to the south of the dune desert id still class as dune desert
building a train track is a nightmare
blueprints
once im done with the hmf and motors ill probably work on a partial rail network for the computers
would you like to make it simple?
blueprint auto-connect makes it much less tedious!
I mean technically you don't even need blueprints if you just want it fairly basic
should i update to 1.2 before building a new factory
there aren't huge differences
its really not
i mean I think the only reason i want to is daisy chaining\
and that's a nothing mechanic
that doesn't stop you from building now
or realistically doing anything new
yeah likewise 😄
guys does the Hyperfocus OST plays naturally in the game? Or is it just in the boombox
is there anything in tiers 3 & 4 that requires water aside from the coal generators?
No.
nice
how do i make it so that when i hook a cable to another power pole it does the place for mk2 instead of 1
I think dragging it from an mk2 is the only way
does dragging from an mk2 outlet to the floor makes an mk2 pole though?
and vice versa
id assume
yes, except from a double one
you can also select a mk2 and click on a mk1 to change it and it keeps connections
update to unreal engine 6 when? 
at the end of a manifold should i put a smart splitter that way I can have raw quartz stock piling
whats the best way to get tickets in early phase 3?
just make an overflow sink on all production lines
ohhh smart should have done that way before
doesnt give that much tickets
it does since it passively just makes points
usually have 1000+ before phase 4 is over
i need tickets now for the building stuff
go hunting for crash sites. pick up the higher end stuff like fused frames and sink those
and hunt creatures and sink dna capsules
okay, thanks
Hey guys, I am having a very hard time on building the factories over now I completed all the research (trains and oil). I don't know what to produce where, where to carry stuff and all. Is there a guide that I can follow to ease my pain of running around while trying to decide what to do and leave the game after 15 mins _
The point of the game is you get to choose what you want to do and there is no wrong answer.
So no, there is no guide.
If you are at phase 3, you should have some sloops around.
As Neko said, go hunt for such stuff but also get some animal remains too, sloop them twice in process to get 4x more capsules = 4x profit
It's like asking "which wood should I build stuff with in Minecraft?"
It is not the same, it is like gregtech okay 🙁 Don't underestimate my problems, it only makes me sad 🙁
What is "gregtech"?
minecraft mod
And it is exactly the same. They are both sandbox games founded on the freedom to build what you want.
You gave a minecraft example, i gave a minecraft mod example
make stuff where the resource nodes are?
Ah. Gross.
notorious for being a bit grindy 😛
then just bring them together to make more stuff
not gross. amazing. minecraft mods ❤️
"Amazing mod" is an oxymoron.
🙄
You are mean
I gave you the most accurate answer to your question, therefore I am mean.
Sure 👍
man it said it would take 4 minutes to update... went away and now it says 9
Dial-up internet? 👀
Tackle stuff in smol parts. Very smol.
First, focus on oil. Get some fuel, plastic and rubber production. All of those can be handled only by Oil so you can have some secluded factory going, making stuff for you.
I didn't say it for your answer to the question, but your answer to the minecraft mod
i think we have 1 gig but idk i dont pay or deal with utilities :D
1 gig of dial-up internet? 👀
Ah yes, I have that. Rn I am producing 320 plastics and 160 rubber
I'm going to assume you are too young to remember what dial-up internet even is 🙁
focus on making fuel production larger
Make your own choices instead of needing to be told what to do.
to experience, yes, know what it is, no. Pretty much your computer would talk to the internet and start up its own service in a way over landline or something along those lines correct?
i just know its very slow
much like in life, it is about trying to break down bigger problems into smaller, more manageable chunks. I would recommend using satisfactorytools.com if you want help crunching the numbers, and then just for whatever part you're making, break it down into chunks, one part at at time if you have to
Close enough.
also a SATA SSD would be just fine
What do you usually do in your builds, I am having a hard to time to decide on whether to carry the ores or the constructed materials
i used to play on a SATA SSD, it's fine. Honestly the speed of NVMe is probably only mostly applicable to load times 🤔 idk
Damn you really deserve an ignore
Because I am trying to help you?
well at 100% usage rn its only reading/writing at about 10mb/s
Sev i don't think you understand how your comments come across and are perceived by other people sometimes. I know you're trying to help, but humans are not perfect, accurate creatures 😛
a nd then it jumps to 100 then back down
i dont understand this annoys me every single time i do a big update
most of the time i focus on ores.
I don't think the person understand how life doesn't give a metric crap and will beat them into the dirt if they are incapable of making their own choices 🤷♂️
But I didn't say it like that.
M2 SSD's are usually faster and more consistent. And you can cool them too if you have a heatsink in your motherboard
Need some help yall: how do you keep finding the motivation to build yet another factory for some other random piece you need in the late game? I’m working on Electromagnetic Control Rods right now and I have a big Caterium factory set up but still need every other tiny part including iron, coal, steel, and a bunch of copper
i don't think they're 'more consistent' 🤔 they're definitely faster but it probably matters more to a video editor than for a gamer
not just M.2 specifically NVME bc you still got sata m.2
depends on your issue.
is it that you need better/faster building techniques?
easier time making overall plans?
Personally, I don't make "random" pieces. So part of the motivation comes from the actual need for what I am building.
Ah yes that what i meant by and m2 😄
There are wrong ways to be correct.
You are correct that in a sandbox game where everything is possible including almost all routes to go for.
However, you are incorrect by simply telling them to find a way, while they simply can't (because if they could, they wouldn't ask the question).
You are basically telling them to not ask the question because answer is already there.
Answer is there for you. But it isn't for them.
This game is "way too sandbox" and at phase 3 can be overwhelming about what to do.
Cut'im some slack, go hug your mom. Moms are amazing. They deserve hugs.
SATA on m.2 still writes at (iirc) at least 500/530mbps if memory serves
newer versions of SATA might be better
helps boot time, download speed (if your internet outpaces your ssd) and less cables in the case to worry about :D
i agree. But 'consistent' applies to none of that 😛
someday i will get an NVME but not with these prices because i will get at least 1 TB, my mobo nice enough to have two slots as well alongside a heatsink with i think gen 4 m.2 or 5 i cant remember
This game is "way too sandbox" and at phase 3 can be overwhelming about what to do.
Which is why you try stuff out. You pick something and go with it. Will you make mistakes? Yes. But that's part of life.
And it's easier to learn that in a video game world where there is no consequence.
Being taught "always ask other people and just follow what they say, never think for yourself about what you want to do, never try something just for the sake of it"--- horrible thing to imprint into someone's mind.
Factory
I just feel like once I build a factory I have low motivation starting from scratch to build a whole new factory. Like right now I just need copper sheets for AI limiters but I don’t want to go down to the death swamp to make it and then set up trucks to transport everything and etc etc etc
what is your motherboard though
Must
sometimes it's hard to just figure out what to try
lemme check i forgot the brand lol
Grow
it's why humans talk to each other and often value the advice of a friend or family
start with trying factory carts and branch out from there
well there's lots of other copper around 🙂
imo treat this like a tutorial.
If you can't do something precise now, just set up a sloppy belt to move things over
once you unlock everything you can do your own projects.
I've got 3500hrs in and never sent up the last phase xD
I like learning the ways and methods of other people, try to combine them and add things from myself
This
As long as you try something I am good with it.
Want to review what went right/wrong - I'm here for it.
Want recommendations on what to try next because you already tried something - I gotchu.
But never taking the first step yourself? No. SorryNotSorry.
ASUS B550 PG Riptide (full ATX babyyyy) picked it up a few months ago off amazon for like 80 bucks
yeah i don't think they're seeking advice or guidance in such a way as to entirely turn off their own mind 😄
My best advice is to make more factory carts
@raven grotto some motherboards don't allow you to use all your nvme slots at gen 4
Nobody teaching nobody to "constantly ask". They asked for once. And they are new into the server.
This game's Phase 3 is overwhelming to a "game design" flaw degree. This is whether you accept or not, does not change. It is a fact. And the proof that huge majority of player base not having "Phase 3 Completion" achivement proves that.
It is ok to ask questions. It is horrible to assume that someone is a goober that "will constantly ask questions from now on" because they asked what to do.
Have some hope in humanity. If he was hopeless, he would stop at phase 3. But he wants to go on, whether with help or not.
You telling him to "go find your way" is not making it better either so keep that in mind too.
Why aren’t there ways to automate factory carts
Sometimes when you use all your slots, one stays at gen 5, the other go down to gen3 speed
my main is a gen 4 while secondary is 3
you can
Me when antisocial chatroom
because of UR MOM
I mean building them
you can't auto build any vehicle. they are vehicles
Some people being goober ❤️
alright time to learn how to build a good lookin wall
i’m trying to make electromagnetic control rods, all my other (good) resource nodes are spent so the death swamp is the only place I can really build at scale. That said, trucks is the only convenient way to do any of this at scale right now
LOL BRO GOING HARD MODE
Will keep in mind the amount of people I have helped over the years, and keep doing exactly what I am doing because my reasoning is solid and backed by thoroughly researched methods.
Yeah but it’s a pain with factory carts because you need to hand craft them
You can’t just plunk them down
I place 4m walls and paint them black and white
I'm sure someone has made a "Garage Machine" mod that auto-builds vehicles.
as pcie*
To be more clear, m.2_A on most motherboards will pretty much always run at rated speeds but many motherboards don’t have the bandwidth to hold that for m.2_B or _C (if your motherboard has a third slot) so it downgrades m.2_B to SATA for bandwidth constraints
If only researched methods were always accurate but you do you.
I mean, you are someone who is against diagonal placements "because stuff clips to each other". Which removes 90% of the architecture possibilities.
You are nuts, in your own way.
yes thats what I was talking about
Wow.
yes, it rains.
I totally get it though, after all the square is the strongest shape in nature
Dude shut up, you are someone who preaches Factory Carts 7/24
You are the least sane person here.
I'm not so sure about that
And you should definitely get the "smol cart station" mod. It is amazing
had to check 19% of players complete phase 3 😮
its his persona
considering it's popularity that sounds about right tbh
you're right I am in favor of the smart vehicle choice
28% for phase 2 😮
There's also the number of people who still have their saves from before achievements existed.
It could be more considering the game has been in EA for so long with no achievements.
However it is still EXTREMELY low to a fault still.
not even halfway with phase 2 lol (i finished all the milestones and just need to do versitile framework and automated wiring)
41% for phase1
take your time, enjoy the ride 😉
yea right now im focused on manufactuing quartz to be able to make glass and design some walls
Need you to be my shining beacon of hope and get to Phase 3 and just... do stuff. 💛
glass is crucial 😄 😆
You failed me as someone who cares deeply about statistics and research.
Many people also restarted the game after 1.0 release and they should have achievements.
19% is still an EXTREMELY low number for phase 3.
In Elden Ring, the most optionial boss has around 35% kill rate. Which is a massive deal considering the amount of players that played the game.
i loaded up my second playthrough save the other day (sadly seem to have lost my first one). hilariously messy lol
and i want to go mercer sphere hunting to upgrade my dimensional depots, ive already done both first upgrades I think i will do speed before size from now on
because like wires dude 1,000 wires and soemtimes you just go through that or concrete
concrete especially
I had a friend who played in early acces, he told me he had to restart because the game put a big ass rock in the way of his factories 😄
And I need to update my decoration BPs...
Grass Fields heavily disappointed me.
There are some REALLY annoying and large rocks.
is there anything new in the MAM in 1.2?
One would say "Rocky Desert" would have such a problem but it doesn't.
Grass Fields have stupid large rocks in everyplace possible that I want to make factory on.
big stupid rocks
Yes.
you'tell'em
woahhh theres a power pole mk4 now
No.
No.
hm so whats after 3
Its a better thing 😛
I am thinking about starting the game again
🌼 ⛓️
In a different biome this time
only one way to find out ig lol
Go ahead but know that phase 3 will come again. You eventually need to win against the beast within.
I just told you 😭
DAISY CHAINING
OH DEAR LORD THE CAPS ARE ON
oh my god
This time I think I know what to build as my factories and all.
I HAVE TO UNLOCK IT????
YES
HE IS NOW OFFICIALLY ANGY 💢
BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE
BUT HERE WE ARE
NOOOO I THOUGHT IT WAS FREE 💔
Why not bro kek.
LOUD -- NOISES
SAD NOISES
We aren't related.
broblz
No.
Damnit Sev. I thought we had something going on.
Stop family maxing.
now did they change the lighting at all it seems better to me
Ong frfr
I want a bigger family. 😭 100% no cap fr fr brotherman
eh.. yes.. I guess.. I mean.. yeah.. lets go with that.. I mean.. sure...
Well, go meet a nice-ish girl who wants the same thing.
Make your own family.
And ensure they rely entirely on you for all decisions at all times 😏
whatt T junction
I got 8 doggos in my HUB, happily hanging around. Does that count?
have you considered joining one of those religions where they have like 11 children
maybe that’s the next move
It's a pipe thing that people really, really wanted for some reason.
What is the common point between a religion and kid making
i wish we could ask ADA
i never thought of it, but now ive seen it so did I, would make my coal setup cleaner by not having the extra input areas
just give the ADA on machine AI if you let it lol
just a chatgpt instance in the background
Will 1.2 change anything about the resource nodes?
Not unless you tell it to, no.
in the standard game mode no
I saw daisy chaining will be a legitimate feature in 1.2? That sounds tight
yeah it will be part of the MAM research
I'm not big on mods so I never installed the daisy chain mod, but it always was appealing to me
what is daisy chaining i keep hearing it
you can use a powered machine to power another instead of needing to add power lines from every machine to a power pole
Yeah you can go
Power pole > Constructor > Constructor > Constructor
Instead of having to attach each constructor to a power pole
yeah daisy chaining is really useful then
It will fundamentally change most vanilla players' blueprints
yep
It renders power poles nearly obsolete and trivializes the intended power wiring puzzle of the game.
do saves stay during updates like if i open up 1.2 rn will i see my 1.1 save
it truly won't, you just build the sockets and link up the machines
no more clipping wires into the floor at the very least only needing 1 instead of 10+
It's ionized surgery 😏
people acting like daysie chaining is like vaccines hitting the world for hte first tiem
And now it will clip through machines because 95% of the machines are not designed to make it look good kek
I hate that this analogy makes me an anti-vaxxer....
whats up limestone you help me get concrete thanks
yes bro blz mine me
daisy chaining makes wires look clean
Is there a defined patch notes for 1.2 at this time?
is 375 silica/m too much for the sole purpose of making glass or is it smart like making a ton of concrete 24/7
and ignore other silly normal and pure nodes. they be fake
already did thanks again sir
they still go through most machines, jfyi
No. You were contrarian today. I'm going to mine Normal.
RRRREEEEEEEEE- HISSSSSSSSSSSSSS- WOFF WOFF
No such thing as too much.
@raven grotto ^ this is an example of dialup internet.
I would say if it is only for decoration stuff, yes.
I still remember my 56kb modem. Good boi he was.
i might turn a few to crystal now thats unlocked
these are the only two quartz nodes near me
And you make the sounds in his honor? 😁
I hope you get bonked constantly.
wait do saves stay during updates so like if i open 1.2 right now will i see my 1.1 save
they do right
Rideable Alpha Hog when?
Not before Green Stinger 😄
why didnt i do this earlier
yo nice i got the same thing from a crashed pod yesterday lol its so good i got it on the rerol
Ok one of the worst parts of the 1.0 update is we lost an inventory slot and no one knows why.
Max used to be 81.
Now it is randomly 80.
I keep hearing about this but I dont have this broblem
just started playing a week ago 😁
broblem
bigbroblembro
brotato chip
So I always cheat it in when I get to Phase 5 😁
Open up SCIM and +1 to my inventory to go back to the perfect 81 as it should be.
bigbrosatisfactoribroblemo
wow, cheating huh
Any1 know how to join friends session id seems to give an error and when I try setting it to steam my friend just sees a forever loading icon
a broblem im going to have is I need to make another row of coal plants soon
build on top
im using your layout
build more on top 😄
you mean the stacked coal gens right?
Do 8 tall instead of 8 wide.
it is gated fairly far into mid game though i think (daisy chaining). And power wiring, as a puzzle, isn't that deep. And it's entirely optional. I think it's a nice addition. Ironically i never even tried the mod, but i've been playing a new game in 1.2 exp. and have embraced it 😄
the water pump situation with that lol
bad Sev, no. 🗞️
It's gated behind materials you can acquire for free in Phase 1. So... 🤔
scavenging crash sites you mean?
Indeed.
i'd still consider that gated, most players aren't scavenging to that degree, or aware that it even exists at first if they're new to the game
because of plastic I cant get to daisy chaining in phse 2 and i do not want to search for crash sites, because crash sites search for me
i think the fact that it is entirely optional is key
The biggest "nothing is gated anymore" thing they did in 1.0 was change crash sites to include steel for some reason.
didnt know until i randomly found one and still didnt even know until I started using the MAM more
That's not how people work.
It's in the game. It will be used.
exactly 😄
my point is that if you enjoy, as you say, the puzzle of wiring for power - you're still at liberty to do so
It isn't THAT optional when one option is vastly superior
mk3 poles are not optional, they are simply obsolote with no benefits to use other than looking cool as decoration maybe 😛
Poles are entirely optional.
this game's design choice of "make previous stuff obsolote" is beyond bonkers
Train station power connect to anything, rest of factory on single chained cable.
😴
Jump Pads finally die in 1.2 as trucks cannot use them anymore.
dimensional depots are peak
I disagree. I love jump pads and used them extensively at phase 2.
never even placed one lol
Hardest of disagrees 😂
You are really good at being wrong huh.
Thats why me luv u
bros just trying to be different 😂
Hypertubes nuked them.
Travel used to be creative and fun between belts, slides, and jump pads.
me too bro me too
depots are also entirely optional! 😉 😄
nah, most of hte 1.0 additions with alien tech just makes pseudo creative mode.
shouldn't have been in the base game
I use jump bads to go vertical faster from my logistics floor to upper floors. They are great boost.
They are not obsolote. They have their uses before jetpack and I still use them to save on fuel and time etc.
same with the hyper tube exploit being left in
Hypertubes can be janky due to the fact that it forces perspective change.
and you need planning for them to get out etc.
Close your eyes. Problem solved. 😏
someone can say 'no' as much to something that is objectively true as much as they like, you're still wrong
You are REALLY not good at this "providing solutions".
I am sure there is a research for "being this wrong cant be right"
🤔
I don't think much though goes into wiring
Depots also do not remove planning. A HUB is a good place to store them. Or someone who wants to make them on other places, need to make more planning to use them.
depends how much thinking you put into it 🙂
In both cases, extra planning and care is needed especially if someone is decorating.
They remove it entirely.
You choosing to not understand wifi storage being wifi is 🤷♂️
You are simply wrong.
Someone needs to make additional items to feed the depot regardless, they still need to plan.
I am not.
How you get materials to a build location is now "oh look, no thought required because wifi."
The planning is there. This game ain't rocket science.
just block them, they are objectively wrong and will never reflect about it
My one BP requires 1080 quartz crystal. You saying I need to carry THAT much CONSNTANTLY, BACK AND FORTH, is something I should suffer?
I think not, brotherman of century.
And I had to properly plan to make Quartz Factory stuff for that.
I mean you can't take items out of the Dimensional Depot besides doing it manually in your inventory right? It doesn't seem like it takes out a lot of planning
So "no need for planning" is simply, wrong.
I did not say that at all.
But it is interesting that you jumped to that specific conclusion without considering any other options.
what kind of blueprint is that and what does it make lol
I could see your argument if it was like there was a Depot Downloader which just spit out materials from the cloud
it really isn't. You just stick a smart splitter belt and over flow items to it. Done
Say hi to CHUNGUS dilluted fuel factory: #screenshots message
DUDE YOUR TRACKS ARE AMAZINNNGGGGGG
you can manually pull items from the cloud
"removes a WHOLE layer" of planning.
I mean, what you said weren't really hard to get.
You said it removes. I say you are wrong. Because you are.
It looks awesome
THANK YOU BRO ITS BEEN HARD WORKL
❤️
I am not. And you are holding to that without cause. 😂
Yeah, but it's not a viable replacement for automation, so you still have to plan that.
So unfortunately... it is indeed block time as Cobalt suggested.
I liked the red, yellow and black
Not really. You are not THAT complicated. You said it removes planning. But it doesn't.
Someone who needs to decorate alot, NEEDS them. This FIXED a problem. But it did not remove any planning. It actually added for me.
You are simply, objectively, completely, wrong.
that also already exists - they are called drones.
you just can't use them to autobuild anywhere in the world
pretty sure by planning Sev means 'doing the math and carefully filling your inventory with what you require for what you want to build next' 😛
so realistically, as both drones and depots exist as they are, those bases are covered.
the issue with the depot is lacking the thought and infrastructure to build transport for you and the items you need to build where you need to
to me, depots are all about removing tedium from the game
Then he is wrong again. Because I had to do math for my HUB too.
that's why it's a pseudo creative mode, because you effectively have infinite items on your person at all times as long as it's automated
i think they're a good addition, and I like that they're completely optional so you can ignore them if you want the extra challenge (and, frankly, tedium!)
Trucks, Trains, Drones. All capable of infinitely delivering building materials to a site with a little thought and planning.
But people never consider it and always "I have to walk all the way back?" Or "I have to carry this?"
And that lack of thought lead to constant complaining, which led to removal of thought entirely with the Depot.
I mean, if he is listening to Cobalt, the most elitist person in this server, he is free to do so. Cattle will always call someone else pot and I will simply smile. He can listen to him for all I care.
cattle?! 😄
The depot is not a replacement for trains at all
Pre-1.0 the game had a heavy emphasis on thinking about problems beforehand and solving them. Where you'd get massive issues trying to solve things after-the-fact.
This focus was flipped entirely in 1.0 and beyond.
no, it's replacement for the thought and care to create the infrastructure to get you the items you need to build. That's the whole argument
That is not at all what I said.
and that was a significant part of the game
theres more scannable objects still omg
This is really old timer "back in my old days" talk about a game that is hugely sandbox with foundations on sky.
They are legion.
Depot still has its shortcomings, about how you need to explore, find, build etc. They are not replacing anything.
I still bring trucks and trains around with large amount of items inside.
legion go the steamdeck copy?
Hello, i have not got the game yet but am hoping to soon 🙂
Lost me at Steam. 😭
speaking of which is this good on the steamdeck, been thinking about trying to find a good deal on it
if your a steam hater you just TRYING to be different 💔
He IS different.
I enjoy devs getting paid more instead of being gouged for 30%?
30% for such an insane service that nobody else provides.

This guy is... really something.
capitalism is #off-topic-general
literally steam got sued for being a monopoly when they didnt do anything
Well, technically it is a monopoly on good service. Kek.
do nothing and win lol
this is space capitalism
i got it on Epic cos that was my only option at the time 😛
first game i got on Epic in fact
Its ok. Nobody is judging you.
Epic was always extremely wonky and stupid.
EPIC also let us play Updates 1 and 2.
-# re-read your message in abe simpson "it was the style at the time" voice
Epic Store has always been stupidly bad designed and had bad performance.
it was the style at the time! 🤣
I really want them to add Shop cosmetic for the old splitter and power pole models.
i hate epic, when I downloaded it for like fort and rocket leauge i had to disable it as a startup app as it was like malware and used 100% of my resources
Its really not a walware. Its simply slopware.
beating a dead horse with wilful ignorance is also #off-topic-general
remember the old manufacturer model?
It was sloppy before slop was an actual term.
i don't actually miss that one 🤣
Yes!
ah*
I saw it. It is REALLY cute.
I mean cmon though. B O X
The main thing I miss whole-heartedly was the original, BETTER nuclear model.
was that before update 3 / steam release?
Its literally a box.
Yeah.
I think U3 changed it if not mistaken.
ah i don't remember that i think, but seen it on the wiki. I've only just started attempting a nuclear power plant actually
Open air model was soooo good.
ok now that silica is being produced heavily and has a depot to go into
yeah the old one had like a hole in it right
And I actually liked the output being on the opposite side of the input.
i think imma mercer sphere hunt get my upload speed up and start trying to build walls
wish me luck bc this is about to suck
Instead of everything being front.
i mean the shape is supposed to be a cooling tower, right? so it doesn't really make sense 🤔
i enjoy exploring in this game
particularly by the time i get a jetpack
I wish it was less vertical... a bit less.. not too much.
yeah output on the opposite side of the input would probably be nice
Do you really need 120k copper bars to make 100 nuclear pasta?
The open air concept also sold the "FICSIT don't give no fucks about safety" atmosphere.
for aesthetics as much as anything
yes.
That looked odd to me too. I wasn't sure why they did this...
lends itself well to a few alt recipes
sometimes i wonder about doing a run with zero alt recipes for the challenge
hey how do i grab less than a stack when using dimensional depot in inventory (like when taking out and dont have manual put in
but.. i don't think i'd enjoy it 😄
CAST SCREWS ME BELOVED
i don't think you can
Can't unless there is actually less total.
damn
