so really up to you.
Typically I'll make a diluted fuel system that makes about 30gw at tier 7 then push to nuclear. It's easier
but it's totally doable to build a bit more coal and do it
Yeah I am trying to open rocket fuel rn very excited
which you can build in a couple of hours with good prep 
1000 generators wdym
you can get teh same power with 100 nuclear gens. MUCH less piping and ... the recipes are pretty simple. It's more steps but they are smaller
I am generating 7.6GW rn
fuel generators put out far less than nuclear.
so if you want lots of power you need A LOT of fuel generators
You are talking about 100 times my current power gen 😄
you said coal gens were 'small' before , with fuel generators doing like 3x the power?
fuel gens are 'small', nuclear does 10x the power
some machines later can be set to use 15,000mw
the red buildings here are all generators, about 1200 of them, generating 270GW
1 machine.
Is it hard to do nuclear? I am currently trying to complete phase 3
And nuclear waste tastes like a green apple slushie.. mmmm…
nope. and if you use the BASE recipes is very easy
side benefit to nuclear is that uranium has basically no uses other than power so it's basically just garbage if you don't use it for that
while oil can be used everywhere

fishing expansion when?
xD
Cobalt, wanna drink some plutonium waste with me?
fish got removed
not right before bed, sorry
yeah, bummer
A DLC would be nice where you work for America instead of FICSIT and you try to make bombs and a lot of gunpowder and new recipies
in any case! imo treat the milestones and tiers as a long tutorial. When you unlock everything it's more of a sandbox. More like minecraft than other automation games.
Just learn and have fun.
bed for me
inhalers only available in the awesome shop, can't have handcrafted inhalers socialised medicine
No, no. You stay up.
America is a subsidiary of Ficsit already
Ahahahahaha
shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight?
Oh! It’s Marv! Hey marv! How ya doing?
Chances are very good
Indeed I believe so
never doubt it
Do you guys use radars
what about Prey?
I didn't play it, only dishonored 1-2-doto
highly recommend it, its peak
How do i swtich the language in my game, it is in swedish my mother lanauage but i pref it in english
cant seem to switch, it seems
what are the chances someone would gift me the game if i begged for it ?
absolutely zero, because it's against the #rules
suuuuuuuuure
im planning on buying the game but i keep getting stuck
epic games keep saying they dont accept the payment mehod
buy it from steam or humble bundle then, problem solved
oh its marv howdy marv
My friend bought this game when it first came out, and in regional pricing.
He keeps telling me that he feels like he did something wrong because he took x10 the fun of the payment he did
try humble store, its 30% off right now
do they adjust the price according to region ?
humble? doubt it
uuuuhm no thx
i bought the game on Steam release day best purchase of my life cause i have 19,742 hrs on record on it
and steam will have it on sale but no sale atm i don't think
Early june or late june ik there is always summer sale
well, you can go check anyway, i dont know 100%
the game will be on sale when they do summer game i hope
its on sale right now
It's on sale right now
where?
Humble Bundle, 30%
oh
screenshot of the 19k hours maybe? kinda crazy to believe ^^
still working on that 20k hrs atm at 19,742 hrs on record
photo maybe?
its real
Oh well obviously if some guy says it's real that's all the proof I need. Problem solved.
you're welcome
well, from 4 years ago, doesnt look like they have posted an updated one
Ill do a ping to mikael jason and nether and do proof SS when i reach 20k hrs
and i might have to stop today ish due to irl heat
thats actually crazy..
i mean that screenshot
its summer time for me and high of 29C today so ya and i only do summer of quiet due to the heat and break
nono i meant crazy for the 10k hours screenshot, youre good, where i live its 34C
yes i sometimes like in summer i just wanna play but its to hot IRL
ye
when i reach 20k hrs ill ping the people i said before and do SS
Fused modular frames are hella annoying
Genuinely scraping every bit of iron together to get it going
Currently running 1080 iron ore in per min through a variety of conveyors and trains
Thats getting me 30 modular frames, 6 reinforced, and soon to be 6 fused frames per min
Hypertubes unlocked, wheeeeeee
0.8 was pretty peak to me
(that's when we got GI)
GI?
Global illumination, being able to use signs as lights and such
ohh
cannon timey time
https://youtu.be/q2nNzNo_Xps (from Doctor Who)
I love doctor who
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.
that is possibly the best written standalone Dr Who episode ever. Classic
Let’s move this Doctor Who chat to off topic
not looking to talk about it, just shooting off a comment 🙂
Chain reaction
given people vs. puppies & kittens, if you were
and you had to chooes which to hang out with, which would you prefer
Kittens and girls
All of the "save the planet" and "puppy kitten" stuff was added in 1.0.
Prior to that it was "drop down, fuck this planet UP, and just exploit it for everything purely for profit and gain."
Oh lol
I mean, prior to 1.0 there wasn't any story. They didn't randomly change the tone of ADA, they just finally took the time to put that stuff in
(and IMO it feels pretty obvious that the "save the planet, puppies and kittens" stuff is just ADA trying to psychologically manipulate you to do that fucking-up-the-planet stuff. :)
We're not exploiting the planet any less than we were prior to 1.0. :)
Global Illumination (alone) was more of a game-changer for me than the upcoming Update, so U8 is, uh... "peak" to me
one could argue that with the alien power augmenter & dimensional depot we're poluting less
Hm, true, should set up a new coalgen for every few Depots! :D
Who's to say that a giant machine bending the rules of phisics to make "free" power wouldn't have a significant impact on the enviroment? 
It could be giving off bad vibes to the whole planet for all we know...
||Proposal to have the Beans behave increasingly nervous/agitated the more Augmenter are present and/or powered at the same time ✋||
harming the environment is not the same as exploiting the environment
-# ||nervous tick||
the more i use the new vehicle paths the more i dislike the system
got a path going through a narrow bit of terrain that i can't double back on itself (for the return route)
doesn't like the terrain... but I know the path can go through there
build a ramp
good idea
def don't like it though
i love using the existing terrain and roads for vehicle paths
truly wish i'd just done a beltway now
nah ramp doesn't work
so basically this bit of terrain is for no good reason one way only 😆
guess we're gonna have to reroute
Offload it on one Side, build a belt to the other side, load it to another truck
fuck no 🤣
huh 😛
do i actually finish phase 2 today? prolly not
actually maybe
all im doing is hard drives n i got 8 riht now
is the total wattage available from oil not exceeding that of uranium?
no need to hurry.
im done with milestones, finished smart plating and want to get milestones back again to give me a reason to make my new factory look good
i did something similar and everytime I see it, i smile.
i don't think i would be smiling!
maybe the issue is all the resources and space you need to take up for all those fuel plants.
forgot i unlocked daisy chaining so peak
i am going to bet that 1.2 stream next week will start early am i true on that <@&370483737957236737> and also 19,744 hrs on record 🙂
i ran the numbers and it would require 16,800 fuel plants to burn all available oil if converted to ion fuel.
that doesn’t sound like fun
hey guys it seems like when it comes to turning left and right, I can't build train tracks. I can only make junctions and straight paths. I can connect turn left and right blueprints I have so my tracks becomes flying tracks with no foundations, how can I fix it
pollution update when
i want Memory update when? or something to help large players like myself FPS update when?
i wish we had a tool to copy n paste settings instead of going into every one and then pasting
you don't have to open the UI, and there is a setting to copy the configuration when you sample a building
oh hello ondar
how do you not have to open the ui
just look at it and ctrl+V
you can also rebind it from ctrl+C/V to any other key, such as F5/F6
much faster to press
Ngl I played for a while and got burnt out on late game, thinking about coming back and starting again
so i dont get burnt out from building i go out and make expeditions every so often for like harddrives, somersloops, or mercer spheres
and slugs if i happen to stumble upon them
Mine wasn't necessarily from building as such
hey thats my cats name
Huh
#off-topic-media message Apollo is my cats name
Oh, cool
But anyway yeah I got burnt out just because I'm technically a new player and I'm surprised I made it as far as I did, just got overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I had to make late game
are other players getting these 2TW+ megapower plants that they show off on reddit only possible via mods?
im finishing phse 2 rn and ive been taking it slow so i dont really feel burnt out yet
there are some games ive done that to though
The later phases get a bit hectic ngl, it was kinda intimidating for me lol. But I've made some plans and such and I'm ready to try again!
fire, hope you have fun!
Ty, and best of luck to you with your phases!
ty!
o
yeah rain is better than no rain
and isnt lightning storms disabled by default? it seems like it
not sure, but lightning is awesome too
I've been bashering my friends when they log off and I need lightning to frankenstein them back to "life"
doubt it but that would be pretty cool 😄
There's lightning?
do i have to wait for a sushi belt to prefill?
Depends on your setup
The question is much more complicated than it sounds, which is why I try not to sushi anything
1.2 if you go to world options you can set it to be more frequent too
same i changed because the weather sounded awesome and i REALLY wanted daisy chaining and oh boy was it worth it
maybe they're using somersloops, which, i have not personally used yet at all.
id use it at the end of a production line
like rn im making a 10/s versatile framework line and with somersloops at the end means i make 20 for the price of 10
In which version was Lore added into the game?
the game had some lore even back in the closed alpha, but the current story was added in 1.0
I see
When you're maxing that much you need Somersloops and SAM processes
But with the right alternate recipes it's not that hard to get up to pretty significant numbers
yea i'm seeing now the wiki says you get more uranium from bauxite.
undervolting
same thing if im not wrong same with pc's
yes
efficiency first
The moment I discovered the game had Lore was the moment the intro played
215W -> 140W power
80C -> 60C temperature
100% -> 99% performance
METALLICA YEAH YEAHHHHHH
It's basically the same plot as the History Channel. Lots of ancient aliens and a little bit roman empire
theres always a little bit of the roman empire in everyones daily life
excpet ada wants you to actually build one in a single day
I perfer korn and their subgenre
Does that sticker get added everytime ada getts mentioned?
I cant get behind korn at all
well she has to wait 1500 years like a normal save would take right @abstract heron ?
Like blind is really good
until that part where the singer starts doing that thing yk
thats kind of jons whole thing i mean look at twist from the life is peachy album
huh 😛
only matter of pioneer count. ignoring Ringelman effect
I know its his thing i just hate it
now realistically one album i dont think he scats a lot is see you on the other side
Only using alt recipes, 600 oil turns into 144,000 power
And there's (calculating)
1,500+3,600+4,800+600+900+1200 = 12,600 oil on the map
So if you can maintain that oil-to-power ratio by getting all the materials needed for the alts, gives you 3,000,000 power
Underclocking multiplies the amount of machines and logistics though. That tends to add lag in big builds.
ADA needs to wait for 1500 years of playtime like the romans did
i dont think theres enough sulfur
not with PCs
Right you'd have to do conversion stuff
And this is silly anyway because you need that oil for other things
and amount of fuel-gens is terrifying
The point being that very high amounts of power are achievable even without somersloops, and adding the sloops lets you use less base resource for the same result
less than one week until "1.2 releases tomorrow" is objectively true and not just wishful thinking
Each generator is 250 MW
So 9 and a fraction (9.6)
but if we wish really hard for it maybe they'll release it tomorrow
damn my 32 coal plants make that, would be nice
but space is practically infinite
except the coal is not
ye, CS, when can lightning energy be obtained?? its just being wasted yet!
Gigawatt of electricity can be captured with The Flux Capacitor!
Well, on the machines of us mere mortals the increased amount of machines is noticeable. Perhaps your hardware is more top of the line.
i need to ask jason or mikael what they want meto do for 20k hrs
Coal is a huge step up from the power you have beforehand
And oil is a huge step up from coal
maybe a factory in the shape of "20k hrs" imo
19,745 hrs on record
nah still working on things for my 1.0 world
undervolted powercolor fighter rx6800.
#satisfactory message
its like $300 currently, mid range id say
just flexing that bro hasnt touched grass in 19,745 hours
oh i do other things @raven grotto
afk and do things I assume?
why are people thinking i afk in game
you're just jealous that he's a world record holder 
legit one
because in a lot of logistics games people do, not accusing it was a question
bc its like 3 years straight no sleep or food
AC babyyy
nah 😛 or maybe
i want to ask jason something but i don't wanna ping him he might be working
just live in moscow, May-26, 10c
<@&370483737957236737> ill do dis instead for both of them
Ah yes, the room where all of Europe lives. That does suck, indeed.
three seperate countries and only one hotel had good AC that went to i think 60 which was actually really nice
60F ?
60 f? You're putting the AC at like 15 C?
romania bulgaria and turkey btw, the hotel was in like istanbul if i remember correctly
yes
I remember when 1.0 said by snutt i stopped playing Satisfactory
when i dont pay for it I DONT CARE :D
Does anyone want 27C atm high of 28C
at home tho we usually keep like 68 in summer maybe 72 in winter smth like that
how bout 31? yesterday it was like 32 idk i googled the transfermation for 31 and guessed for yesterdays
36% humidity too not bad
next weeks gonna SUCK rain all weekend then spikes to like 90
i added my world into dis save #1507421628131180757 message i am hoping a patch is made but who knows
is rigor motor good
All alts and base recipes have a use case.
i dont need bolted fram so might get it
at some point some of them dont ebcause of other alt recipes
Automated miner
i use a mod where i don't need automated miners at all
removes the need of portable miners for buling them im guessing
No, all recipes will stay valid the entire game. Their usage depends on your available resources and your overall plan. Some alts are great in some situations but terrible in others.
yup
wouldnt mind getting it if some of these mods get updated
cause im not going back to 1.1 now
They will but SML is not ready for 1.2
they are working on it reason why i have not updated yet
Currently i am power sharding everything in my world due to lag among other reasons
i did because of daisy chaining and weather and i noticed that the lighting and performance was better so now i def dont wanna go back
you do if you're screwmaxxing and not just playing the game on easy mode
except coal alts
biocoal is a top 5 recipe
whats top 1
cast screws obviously
we need tierlist
maybe there is
but tierlist format is so boring
#satisfactory message here's one from when I was young and naive and didn't understand that biocoal is better than charcoal
such a miss
that would make a difference to huge
i am hoping after 1.2 stable and big bug fixes there is a memory update something
A tier list makes sense, when there is some kind of objective measure (like damage in some other games). Here alts depend on what is needed at a build site. Sure, some combinations are "generally good", but even what people would consider "second rate" alts do have their place in builds. So a tier list is pretty meaningless.
also there have been a number of tier lists on reddit I just won't support them by finding a link for you 
objective is straight boring everybody would have the same list. the point is in discussion on subjective stuff
memory update?
like optimization?
memory reboot
this is subjectively the only correct take
my woirld takes 22kgb or mb to load in and then atm i am at 16kmb or just playing and where i am at
no idea what ur trying to say if im being fr, if your talking about RAM its using bout half of my single stick of ddr4 16gb 2666 (i know im rich)
thats why i added my save in here to see guru and the devs can fix my save or patch it with other stuff into the game
i need to finish my framework factory
what do you mean 22kgb
this makes me feel bad that I have a 64gb kit just sitting on my desk from my old pc
im right here...
probably the worst part of my pc followed by gpu
kgb was a soviet spy agency
to go into my world
22 000 GB??
yes
what are you talking about?
my world is to big loading up etc etc
bro is gaming on AI datacenter ram magnitudes
22TB big? That makes no sense
i have 5,896hrs in my world currently
#1507421628131180757 message this is my world area atm
hah i have 50...
That still won't be 22TB of RAM need
errmm actually 22_000/1024=21.5 TB
Maybe leo is the reason why RAM is so expensive now.
uh no
cant stop buying ram for everexpanding factory
A 70MB save file will not translate to Terabytes of RAM needed :D
I'm very confused by what you mean with your "kgb" need
Hi
soviet Committee for State Security
you look soo bot sorry
@silk rose what
have you got an SCIM image of the map for me please? 😊 😮 😄
kilogigabytes
to laggy
what are your pc specs
am ryzen i7k 7800x3d 32gb and 5080ti
Hi everyone, I've been having trouble connecting to my friend's world – I keep getting a “host connection error”. Has anyone else had the same problem?
usually a networking issue, might want to make a #1038092680493801533 thread
q&h or google it bro
yo blueprints are so nice why did i never make one before
you dont need them unless you spam stuff like fuel gens
i made ones for a sushi belt and foundry going both ways
dis is my specs
now all i have to do is place one belt
btw 5080 is my GPU
arch btw
and do settings for splitters
it's a QoL thing - need isn't the right measure 
nvidia gpu
when i need to spam 300 fuel gens from 8 blenders instead of thinking and making complex stuff i assume thats devs made something wrong
i mean I use arch btw meme
Question
intel would be arc
is there local co op
leo how much is a single ticket in the sink for you right now
never ask a man his ticket cost
justdid :p
a man his salary
a woman her weight
a pioneer their ticket cost
7million 186k
damn dude
btw thats per minute
my tickets cost 200k and i barely put in lik 10/m
maybe someday i make a ticket factory
oooh
i was hopoing to finish my safe but i might have to stop to much in the factory
isnt that like any imperfect overflow factory
did you buy the ||cyber truck||?
theoretically yes i guess
fresh world fresh fresh i can get about 200fps in game but now i only get 26 to 28fps and maybe 40fps in certain spots
ok I figured it out. Satisfactory just needs a NG+ option
?
when you save the day you get the ability to build another space elevator and do it again, but this time the part requirements are doubled
repeat as desired
Meh.
That's just ...1.2 lol
sushi belts are lowkey fun to make
I want to build multiple elevators on the same save!
see how many I can get!
2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x are "easy", 64x, 128x, 256x, 512x start getting more difficult 😄
and each time you complete an elevator you get a new mug with your elevator count on it
also you can't just repeat the game with the same factory without outside save editors
yea like the end of Universal Paperclip you get a slight bonus when you do it over again
is there a switch like the power switch for conveyors? there should be
conveyors need to consume power
P = l²/t
p - total power of one belt, l - length, t - time
i mean to stop the flow
break it
Once you have automated all parts to a reasonable degree, new elevators would just be a question of for how long you want to game to just run. Elevator number 32 would not be easier or harder than number 256.
no ofc not you could just run stuff longer, but you could also build bigger factories to do it quicker
There are mods that allow you to use the elevator as a sink, if you don't want to use a regular sink. It would be basically the same and the counter is just the amount of golden nuts you gather.
Okay one of those god damn cats keeps spawning beneath my blueprint designer inside the foundations, glitches through them and bites me, how do I properly exorcise this demonic creature?
no bc thats only 1 elevator. I want multiple elevators
Foundations prevent creatures from spawning. Just make a big 'ol slab on top of his home.
But how is that different from sinks? Except for size.
That is already the case it spawns within the solid foundation
so say im feeding my assemblers with a sushi belt and its versatile framework, how does the second one get the modular frames when the first one is still filling up
bc its cool looking obv
lol
Well, there are mods for pretty much every need. I am sure one of them allows multiple elevators.
boo mods, yay real dlc
If a mod fulfills your specific need, why would you boo it?
cant buy dlc if there are any because im piggybacking off of my steam family
boo mods!
probably will buy it for myself tho on the summer sale
Right...
What DLC already for the game
no but I want it
soundtrack 
buy it twice!
Why would you ever boo mods
chat stop scaring me
Some people are not looking for a solution. They mostly just want attention. That is why they boo a solution.
chat are we cooked chat chat
waiting for vers framework and phse 2 is DONE
cant wait to not touch milestones for like 2 days lol
The spider still spawns inside foundations that's why I actually asked how to get rid of it
just not for me
🙄
That's fine, you're not required to use them. But booing them is ridiculous
There are so many good mods and mod makers for just about anything
It's not ridiculous to express an opinion! Don't silence people!
You're the type of guy to use slurs in a voice chat then complain about free speech aren't you
<@&387163995947270144> I'm not comfortable with this
Hmm, I have never had creatures spawn through foundations. At least I have never noticed if they did.
Yeah and I'm not comfortable with you pretending I'm silencing you for opposing your opinion
Accusing someone of using slurs is unreasonable. I'ma just block ya
🤔
That's probably the best option for someone who can't stand mild criticism, yes.
bro has like 0h on internet
I guess I'll just keep doing what I've done since noticing it, chucking an entire stack of nobelisks on the Designer from a watchtower and detonating it until I get cluster nobelisks
Based
It might be simpler to relocate the designer, so you are no longer interrupted.
foundated then elevated
Already set a second one up on another location but sometimes I use the first on cause it's closer and it's three DNA samples so there is one upside to it
can i make a mob grinder in satisfactory
No, they won't spawn again when their spawn point is near a building
some buildings let them spawn like poles
Yes
conditions are more complex
Also don't think there is an automated way to attack enemies
I usually treat designers like disposable goods. I just spawn one when I happen to need to make a new BP or a adjust an old one and then I immediately remove it when done.
they kill each other
we just need different species in one pit
im not sure about killing part, maybe they are initially neutral but ive seen them fight
additional research is required for spawn mechanics
yeah this is the best way tbh. I usually need them when I'm away from the hub anyway
I have thought about making some modular catwalk blueprints I can stick up around 'em when I spawn one in, though
arent catwalks already modular the best way? or you do custom railings or smth
I mean like 1-2 blueprints I could quickly throw down to put a catwalk all the way around the designer, to save time on setup/removal
Do you all prefer to have your rail networks be bi-directional? or just one rail with the train going backwards and forwards?
last time I asked this folks got upset that I even suggested using two-headed trains, so I think most folks do bi-directional networks
personally I will do two-headed trains for smaller outpost kind of networks, but if you're doing any kind of large world-spanning network you really need bi-directional to get the benefits of using rail networks
I'm a little tight on space since its going into some mountenous areas. I was gonna just do one line, having two lines next to each other might not work for me.
Have you thought about stacking your lanes? 👀
If I need a small number of trains (like 5-7) for in-biome transportation, I usually just connect all stations to a single rail, have signals only on stations and use two-headed trains. For map-wide main rail I always use dual rails.
A single rail is perfectly fine to accommodate a small number of trains.
Yeah I just need to move sulfer, coal, and nitrogen in bulk over a relatively short distance (2km)
Unless, of course, you want to minimize train length and your trains are travelling non-stop. Then you might need dual rails even for shorter distances. But I like to have a few cars, so the train can spend some time on stations and only move with full load/unload orders.
That sounds like power production. I would prioritize reliability over all else 🙂
i winged it to phase 3 of space elevator, time to rebuild everything 500 times
we need 1000 times in 1.2
The scale of the machines is so large you need a mega-factory of them to make everything.
why would you need megafactory?
I’ve never liked messing with trains to get reliable throughout I just made a 12 lane stackable belt highway print with t6 belts to gather mats from around the map worked much better for me
with all the new updates have they actually added any new ores or new phases
i havent played since like jan
whats new?
I doubt there will be any major changes like that
not until some DLC or something at least
The humble autoclicker:
You could probably do it with an autoclicker and smart rounds I guess maybe but not full auto without a macro to… wait… hold E to pick up ammo off a conveyor belt
Yeah you could do it
But you have to be afk
you need to trap a spider in such a way that it can kill the enemies as they spawn, but it itself can't get hurt by them
then you can occasionally go harvest meat
is there any way of silencing the generators?
Check the sound settings! There are very granular volume controls. Not sure if generators are in there but something in there should lower their volume
1.2 when?
ty
Do y'all think they'll ever have a tier 10?
I expect maintence and Quality of life until a major paid update
I heard they're going to skip 10 and the next tier would start at 13
did they ever say anything about a dlc?
i try to distribute my machines as much as possible so i dont have to make one big ugly mega skyscraper on top of the most uneven terrain known to man
thats how you usually stop worrying abt that
istg why did they never bother to put 1st person in the vehicles
any good location for a steel factory?
im making a road tunnel and driving the truck with 3rd person feels like walking as a blind man with no walking stick
lots of them, just find the coal near iron 😄
understadable
SW side of grasslands is nice
river between rocky desert and northern forest
has pure iron right next to sum coal
Yeah I mean the majority of coal has iron near it. I wasn't just answering like a jerk 
there's also a couple of normal or impure nodes nearyby in the spire coast cliffs & then the 4 pure on the NF Bluff
19,755hrs i am thinking total on steam i need 245hrs more
theres always a node if you have enough resources for a conveyor :D
or fuel for a truck
time to finish phase 2 after 56 hours
jetpack you say
oh ada i love your delusional convos with the entity
anyone know of a quick way to get rid of a giant boulder on a coal node while in phase 2?
I need this damn coal
nobelisk

sulfer in the MAM
👍
MAM is the most important building you have. Do not ignore it. Make it a priority.
also kinda fun to play with
i suggest trying to get hard drives sooner than later though
Well I've definetely ignored it in the 25 hours of playing I have on this save lmao
they make some factories way easier sometimes
I found one hard drive so far
in what way?
alternative recipies
oh ok
i realistically never need to touch copper again
must be nice
for 90% of things ig because theres still copper sheets for now
Im SO close to finishing what I can with this coal power plant
I just need one more coal node
and its very frustrating that there is a big boulder on it lmfao
He means he has 32 Generators.
They are best done in multiples of 8.
I will probably change to oil soon
3:8 ratio is why iirc
You mean "add oil and leave my coal gens running because there is no reason to delete them at all" right? ... Right?
yes
thats the plan
free 2.4gw that will never get touched or looked at
maybe one day i add another 32 idk
3 what :8 what?
3 extractors to 8 plants
like in this
Finally made it to tiers 7 and 8, so much high tech stuff i have no idea where to start lol.
okay, I was doing 1 extractor 2 plants
wait how is your stuff so organized
mine is horrifying to look at
!wikisearch CG
The Coal-Powered Generator is a power generator building that generates power by burning Coal, Compacted Coal or Petroleum Coke and Water. It is the first fully automated power source the pioneer has access to and also the first power source to use a mined resource.
One Coal-Powered Generator produces...
also, do you just have 2 coal nodes? Im trying to use 4
im doing two
convenient layouts for your coal gens
using 4 is very good imo
one pure one normal iirc
you can get to 64 coal gens with mk3 belts and that will keep you going to tier 7
but i have mk2 miners overclocked
i have mk4 belts now and they are honestly REALLY easy to make
i thought it would be a harder to get resource
but then why dont I get enough coal from my generators with literally double the nodes you have and 1/3 of the plants
i think i want to make a vertical mall for my parts but the sucker would be like 20 levels high lol.
rates :D
after you've got some reliable steel early on coal really starts to lose it's value
how come?
you get away from coal power and you have enough steel - not a TON more to do with it especially if you use alt recipe
yours are probably mk1 miners underclocked
you can, if you want, cut coal out of your world system entirely if you want
not overcloked i mean
correct, how would I make them overclocked
MAM research
most important part of the game 🙂
for sure
alr, guess im gonna be going hunting for slugs
i didnt really understand that for a bit
ok and this is as little off topic
but is anyone else getting a little bit more lag time between hitting enter and the msg popping up on screen?
I am
you can get research for them to be on the object scanner
I have a decent net connection so it's not that
nope
already have that 😄
luckily I found a few already
hmm lemme try
you need one of each to be able to almost fully research the tree
no instant for me
....
So I know things like insta and facebook are pre processing all posts and comments through AI before it posts them... I'm going to be REAL annoyed if Discord is doing that
im at this wonky point where i believe i could pretty easily, manually, complete stage 4.
i have all the pieces to just run some things back and forth, and i could be done with stage 4 by the end of the week.
but if i want to automate everything, the right way, then it's gonna take a long time.
no little lag time where the sentence is a bit grey?
tier or phase?
Prior to 1.2 I literally just bought Phases 4 and 5 from the Awesome Shop.
i am done with tier 8. i need to make nuclear pasta and the thrusters or whatever.
Because their costs are so low.
in either case honestly if you don't have the basics automated it's gonna get real painful
Not really.
No really instant like before. But if they implement new features (like AI moderating as you suggested) they usually don't implement to all versions of all browsers or apps in one go
quick question #screenshots message
Or it's a location thing?
im thinking about moving it beforer i get into it
is the location convenient for you?
i have cooling devices and fused frames, high speed connectors and etc
it wouldnt take a lot to do it manually, but then it's not as cool
it is but im thinkig i should move so i can expand without that rock being there but idk
supercomputers are automated
you can also just really slopily over flow the previous items to new and let it buffer up. Don't have to make dedicated factories for the tiers
build a second floor.
infinite space exploit
im moving because i dont like where i plopped down and asthetically it is a bad location for a factory
oki
but yeah, as long as you're not in a cave, you have infinite space realistically
anywhere
Realistically, how many uranium fuel rods should I be making for starting to use nuclear power plants?
all of them
50.4
50? 😭
50**.4**
neither got it
how much power do you want is your first question
god i suck at architecture
how does one "tune the resource scanner" for slugs?
I like curves xD
Right click.
i have a photo for a reference idea nd thats it
check out totalXclipse for good design tips though 🙂
Like 20k
he does solid generic concepts you can get creative with
I was watching him yesterday
didnt get to test it out tho
do you think that will feed whatever you want to do when the game is more of a sandbox?
was thinking about possibly using this as an idea generator#design-and-architecture message
right click what?
I mean, no considering I've seen screenshot of people needing more than 100k power to power everything but I could just expand when I need to
the channel? yeah I save interesting images that have neat little ideas from ther eall the time
I'm just tryna get it started
when having it equipped you right click till you get power slugs
nothing was happening
Step 1: Equip Object Scanner
Step 2: Confirm you are holding it in your hand directly and can see the screen.
Step 3: Right-Click to cycle through available tunings.
oh that's fair. Mostly asking because to me, nuclear is probably something I want to be one and done with in a save
oh, I dont have a object scanner thats why
i saved your coal plant setup lol
I was just pressing V
kept losing it
if you burn ALL the uranium with base recipes (which makes it simpler) you can get about 260gw? thats more than most will use in a sandbox
V is the Resource Scanner.
Not at all to be confused ever with the Object Scanner.
💛
that's like 21 rods
oopsies
anndn just ran out of concrete in my inventory
used like 3 maybe 4k and still not done yet
They fight back, you know
Crazy. I think I'll just make like 4 rods a min and see how far that gets me
that should be like 50gw. Which is fine? but you'll want to keep your factories more modest, avoid the super high draw machines being slooped.
with alts you can get 7.2 rods from a impure nod
thats 90 gw
I think 50gw definitely would be more restrictive for most
I can expand in the future. It'll be annoying but expanding in general is annoying
... yessss.... imo expanding nuclear later is more annoying though
I'm nearing the end of the game and I don't think I'll end up using more than 30 GW 🥲
I like nuclear, I think it's fun, .... but I wouldn't want to do it twice on a mpa
this is normal ^_^
im trying to build a damn wall over here and struggling :D
I think as soon as I beat this run I'm going to start a new save on 25x and port the factory over, then build bigger versions of my existing factories
Atp you're making me wanna go all in on Rocket fuel
maybe my sink has some tickets to distract me
rocket fuel is amazing but fuel is ultimately limited by the 250kw per fuel gen
eh rf is gross.
you just have fields and fields of generators
after a while you'll end up just having huge fuel gen farms, and / or using a ton of shards to oc them
very bland
they're all brutalist architecture i bet
Started my first game world yesterday, got automated plates and rods going
Copper is 299metres away over a cliff or 340m flatter ground
At this point is it still ok to work towards conveyer belting everything that distance
at least we have actual infinite shards now
lookin like russia in the 70s-90s
you can always belt
I like a good mix of coal, fuel, and nuclear
also if you haven't built coal power yet you're basically in the pre tutorial, don't over think so much 🙂
or cherno alpha
I know, but if Nuclear is so annoying that you don't want to interact with it more than once I'd rather become America and use all the oil I can
I wish there were more spots on the map with coal and sulfur next to each other tho, advanced coal plants are pretty decent
so ya brutalism lol
cherno alpha is some badass design
I'm going to be doing a 7x nuke plant with 4x uranium, 2x plut, and 1x ficsiium
I already like and enjoy belts to much haha
it's not annoying ... it's hard to describe.
it's just several orders of magnitude more complex than fuel
It's more like why do it twice and having to go back to it and do more power
that's why I'm not touching nuclear until I have ficsium unlocked and just do it once
@earnest condor I also started in vanilla, I want those achievement which I couldn’t get if I x5 space elevator parts
awesome looks like Pripyat
So, I should just go for 8 then?
maybe just use 1 or 2 normal nodes and do like 12. That will definitely give you breathing room to do most any modest personal prjects later
you can use the base recipes that way too
Got it
like this is 12 u rods pm, with some resource efficient recipes tossed in (adds a bit of complexity)
cuts out Copper and Coal, but adds oil https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=lhWYQRyWIGKicPUNA4Ga
you can cut a fair bit from that if you don't do recycled plastic/rubber too. Doesn't cost toooo much more oil
this is it more or less done #design-and-architecture message
I like the plubber recycle loop though personally 🙂
wow
im thinking of desinging my wall using half foundation as sort of thicker pillars with one wall concrete, then two glass, then concrete, then half foundation
me too
I make most things out of pillars
thick walls add depth 🙂
i mean half the long way so its more like a pillar in width when facing it
but there definitely is depth
that's still depth!
guys do i uhh go vertical when building stuff cuz like i need to build more but the space is cramped and i'd have to move alot for me to build them all together or do i change the entire setup (idek wtf im saying)
yes
you got 2 km of airspace. Use it at yourt leisure
verticality is a must and i still am trying to figure that out
will it look ugly thats the real question
cuz if so im moving the entire setup my base will become bonita whether it likes it or not
that depends on you
only if you make it ugly
and think it is.
it's a 3d game
also if you're new I really wouldn't worry too much about looks at that point 🙂
my motor, rotor sand stator factory aint pretty but it works lol
that looks like the teen titans tower if it was upside down aka extremely cool
wait how do i place a ramp on a half foundation if its between like two foudations
if its yellow it jst places i think idk it does that for me
wait nvm i figured it out
well im making walls so the grids kinda all messed up
oh god i have to use actual brain power this isnt ending well
yellow just means its possibly clipping another built object
don't stress about it too much . It's mostly practice and planning
this is it before the glass when it was just bar bones
#design-and-architecture message
man this coffee cup was def worth the ticket
focus on the goal. you got this
it looks like the aftermath of a certain tragedy in the early 2000s
woirk hard and you can get a gold one
thank you teacher i'll make you proud
WHAT
ok
time to get this factory BUILT
i already like the look of this wall
but i might need to get blueprint mk2 before i start building it out
and its not finished either
help my coal generator doesnt work its fullu pumped up with water and coal
some ppl love the BP others not so much. I mainly use it to stamp out architecture
make a post in #1038092680493801533 with much details and pictures
yea ive made two alr, they are sushi prebuilds for the foundry one going either way
its actually so nice idk why it was the last thing i grabbed from phase 2
almost a whole industrial storage worth of vers framework going to the sink
wiuth my very first mk4 belt
interesting half a mil p/m with 480 vers framework a minute
interesting
wait till you see BWD
bwd
2.8mil each
depends on the pioneer
like the most average setup
I really dont know. I think the defualt from one machine is .5 /min
I use BWD to avoid spoilers lol
ty for that because sometimes i do want to wait to find what stuff is
ooooh i think that would help me get the ||cybertruck|| if i ever end up going for it
1000
oh
just mocked up my first wall idea
added some depth and im lowkey cooking rn
oh great its too big for the blueprint
lol
time to go get mk2
It looks good tho
i know I think the pillars made a huge difference
now beefalo if im not wrong i leave a section off right
like the end?
so its just paste paste paste
aas lonjjg as it looks good to you
I just unlocked overclocking
i mean in the blueprint to paste it
like leave one side of the foundations off?
Is it possible to do without oil? I only have the Uranium fuel unit alt recipe
you can link them up regardless if you take up the whole blueprinter
\just select blueprint mode while placing
well the hard part is the wall is clipping at a certain space
and i cant get that right with mk2
mk1*
Do I reroll this? #screenshots
or else I cant finish it
personally i think i would
I just get them all before changing phases
which one? #screenshots
oh def.
easily. But if you don't have much in the way of alts I highly recommend you go on huts.
Alt recipes are the bread and butter of the game. Gives you so many paths to choose
like all milestones youre saying
I have a bunch of other alts, I just only have that for nuclear power
I mean i unlock all the milestones and tiers in a phase. then i hunt recipes until the mam tells me i cannot learn anymore
fair 🙂
just swap the recipes around in the planner , check and uncheck what you want
Fair
dude I knew ADA likes me
ADA’s strongest soldier
oh GREAT closest crude oil is almost TWO KILOMETERS AWAY
game forces you to expand! just make a belt
so should i localize rubber production there then i assume
truck stations are so annoying
and then belt it and the fuel over here
because i prolly want the fuel for jet packs
probably easier to process ther eyes
if yo uwant, but you could jsut depot the fuel
well theres two crude oil deposits where im looking right now
what is the problem?
i need to find spheres then
oh then i can package it huh
they are everywhere. But up to you too, easy to belt
pretty much like anything else really - look at the recipes, do some basic maths
welp, I'm getting 900MW out of my plant, hopefully thats enough for me to build my factory to complete phase 2
good thing i looked, because i needed to get fluid packaging and luckily i had plastic from crash site hunting
I mean if you looked at your recipes you would also know yo udidn't have the package recipe 😛
question, should I make it 250% on 2 machiens or should I spread the 150% over a bunch?
dont look at them a lot
Im talking about overclocking
early game its great to make Heavy oil residue then use the Diluted packaged fuel for jet packs and vehicles and power
setting up pathing and fueling them
see i did 10 hard drive scans BEFORE i unlocked oil processing obv i should have waited :/
naw, you removed those from the pool of options.
HOWEVER
i think once i unlock everything and then tear everything down and uhhhhhhhh rebuild
then trucks should be less annoying
tearing everything down then rebuilding is torture
i have 4 sitting to be redeemed n then i got recycled rubber
or pure copper ingot
should i get the rubber one?
nah ill let it sit
recycled recipes are pretty nice
part of the planning
have a truck that brings fuel to the trucks if it's not local
for ease of planning you need to plan factories round trucks to make it easier to path
anyone else get random urges to redo their entire factory
why do you think i made that wall :D
im actually moving like 500 meters away too
I just leave old to do its thing then makle more
right now im sorta trying to speed through some of these milestones to try and get blueprint mk2
currently making generators to make heavy frames and computers
you are playing a different game then I if your generators make Heavy frames and Computers lol
making generators to unlock the ability to make heavy frames n computers
it was a jest
tis but a scratch to me
A scratch? YOUR ARM IS BLOODY OFF!
no it isnt
You and everyone everywhere
(copious amounts of ketchup were used in the production of this film)
yo a fully overclocked + slooped assembler takes 200mw not bad
I don't know how people are able to play fully vanilla. I seemingly can't
its my first time :D
I didn't mean you in particular
im at 1165.5 vanilla
already my second most played game and ive only played for one week
my thumb is starting to hurt from alt tabbing all the time tho
jnot even close to my most played game lol
my most is project zomboid with like 71
satisfactory will be my first 100 hour game
my ffxiv is pushing 16000
how the hell
im old. some ppl come home from work and watch foot ball or go to the bar. I pl,ay ffxiv with friends
@abstract heron is almost at 20k for satisfactory lol
what about me
rewad above statement lkol
I'm at 1300+ and probably 1000 vanilla. I still play almost exclusively vanilla but I install mods to test things that I want to recreate in vanilla
I like to use location rotation and other similar mods to test vanilla build tech
Oh. I do use camera mods like a MF. But that's for making videos not for building anything
#screenshots message good boy
all my lizard doggos fell through the map
did you leave them on thick foundations/
||I am exsited about June 2||
I am existed too
no they fell through the land
this is tragedy
yeah you need to keep pet doggos in a pen
i just gassed an alpha spittrer lol
can you load a previous save?
Spire Coast 176,245 / -243,985 72 None
71 Alclad Aluminum Sheet
89 Aluminum Casing
15 Electromagnetic Control Rod
31 Heavy Modular Frame
37 Heavy Modular Frame
8 Turbo Motor
whoops
theres no way this isnt guarded right
Anyone knows where I can find beginner friendly layouts for production?
Please don't look up how to optimize or guides unless you have to. It spoils at least half the fun of the game
Although it's easier to build if you put things on foundations
also most guides arne't very good + you won't actually learn the basics or how to fix them
basically do some basic maths with the recipes you have - if you want use a good planner like this https://www.satisfactorytools.com/1.0/production?share=9QdFRDbtiY6wEgN0PuBO
If that's from the steam guide it says the threats if there are any
the wiki
fire
this is all because i really dont want to unlock the manufactuer n stuff all i want is blueprints mk2 for my walls
I looked it up, and that is the maximum you could make per min 😭
well without Alien tech - but yeah I did that once. Good times
not actually awful to do either. Just takes a few more resource types
man i died because i fell and pressed shift+tab when trying to equip my parachute
Jetpack
Not actually awful. My brother in christ it's like the most complicated thing in the game or you have to blueprint a new storage container stack every day
ran out of fuel bc it can refuel in air :p
Sounds like a skill issue
(I died to a spider today)
awe you died to a kitty cat?
My jetpack didn't jetpack so it killed me
how do I access the to do list on controller?
save for unlocks?
i guess idunno
sweet all i need to do now is make some rubber
love how far you can progress via crash sites and not doing milestones properly
you have to automate the parts for milestones anyway otherwise you're not going to get far
lol this tractor route uses ~70 coal per round trip
if i make a wall blueprint i should leave one side empty so it attatches to the existing wall correct
8 Hours in and I am not efficient enough but I just managed to unlock the spagehetti acheivement
cutting it a little close on that. FYI, coke can also be used in the tractor/truck. While it is slightly less energy per unit, having a stack size of 200 actually gives more range than with coal
do yall actually use these
i thought they were a gimmick
and you just skip to trains
Yes. That was for when you asked how many and someone else said "all of them" 😁
trucks are great?
just gotta plan around with them
in 1.2/experimental, the vehicles are very good and i've been using them primarily if i don't need more than 2 belts worth of stuff
1.1 still great, just need some basic knowledge
Why would I skip to less throughput, higher fuel cost, higher infrastructure cost?
it wont matter at that point because oil
ehh, the old routing system made them derp out whenever paths intersected
its also not that expensive
Ok so take fuel out.
Other points stand.
Trains are fairly cheap though?
with trucks all you need are 2 stations and a bit of fuel. Trains typically need tons of infrastructure and use way more power
What does that have to do with throughput or the massive space they require?
just put them in the air
sky infrastructure is a loss condition
they take a long time to lay down distance and the power cost if you're playing on +1x power per train is pretty steep
Ok so if you are choosing to float train stations in the air, cool.
Final point still stands.
This place is more active so I guess I'll ask here:
So do these numbers sound right to someone else:
100.8 Uranium Reactors @ 250%
75.6 Plutonium Reactoes @ 250%
94.5 Ficsonuim Reactors @ 250%
looks a little sus
Where did our friend NumbersSebastian go?
100.8
0
0
Hahaha.... hahaha.....
im still here
im busy though
I am going to destroy you.
ficsonium is punishment for burning p rods. Why would you do that?
uh huh.
Because I want to.
You were not busy until the final point stood up.
Suddenly busy?
lol you win the discord argument, good job mate
