satisfactory

[old rapids]

i concede

[raven grotto]

sevrahn do you make blueprints of walls

[earnest condor]

🥳

[earnest condor]

Nope.

[raven grotto]

darn

welp i think mine will work only one way to know ig

[earnest condor]

My BPs don't even have floors 😂

[raven grotto]

its of this but i cant fit the last half foundation on it #screenshots message

[worthy python]

anyone want to check out my fackory

[inland notch]

Can someone help me understand if trains delay production or not

For example: lets say I have a factory where I need 1 heavy modular frame per minute

I make 6 at another factory, and I need to bring it over. In my mind the train is adding time to that 1 / min I'm taking because its 1/min + time it takes for next train + time of travel to other station, so that might end up cutting my throughput. Am I missing something here? Does the train time not actually matter

[raven grotto]

#screenshots message so glad i decided to learn blueprints n stuff

[abstract heron]

is it good if i have 19,760hrs nearly

[warped crane]

they're great in 1.2

I will be beating this run without any trains

[latent prawn]

i've found that if you need more than 2 belts worth of stuff, trains have a place still

[native tapir]

Where are the screenshots of your save

[warped crane]

yeah my factory is pretty barebones tbh

[worn oar]

Based

[warped crane]

but I'm sure when I reroll for 25x I'll be using more trains

[earnest condor]

[warped crane]

hmm I just realized you could use a priority merger and a smart splitter along with specifically-clocked machine output (e.g. miner) to get theoretically any arbitrary items per minute on a belt 🤔

[latent prawn]

really i'm only using trains atm for moving some ores. most of my transport is tractors and trucks due to a north forest start & not wanting inclined track on that hill in the biome

[worn oar]

What fuel are ytou using?

[haughty torrent]

Do the devs ever plan to make it so that plant life can regrow? Probably so long as no structures are occupying the space.

[warped crane]

not that I've heard but you can use a save editor to do it

[dense violet]

probably not. But they basically don't advertise anything they might do until it's ready

[worn oar]

No, they intentionally want you destroying the planet. But sometimes updates regenerate areas, and you can manually regenerate with a save file editor

[abstract heron]

Massive 🙂

Due to my woorld is nearly laggy i am power sharding almost everything

[haughty torrent]

Unfortunate, I destroyed a lot of plants near my main area and now it looks barren and kind of ugly.

[latent prawn]

me? yellow fuel. i did a hybrid dpf/plastic built that kicks out 480 packaged fuel/min and if the vehicles don't use it, it gets dumped into generators & the empties recylced

[dense violet]

as mentioned, use the save editor

[worn oar]

Now you have a perfect place to build a concrete jungle

[warped crane]

anyone else ever have issues where buildable textures are low-res unless you're dismantling? 🤔

[latent prawn]

yeah, you may be running out of graphics memory

[warped crane]

😭

[latent prawn]

download more gram

[warped crane]

instructions unclear, cup holder broken

[latent prawn]

actually, idk if it is still the case, but back in the update 8 timeframe, if you were toggling lumen on & off, you'd end up with a big chunk of gram reserved for the lumen stuff

[raven grotto]

how do you guys go between floors in your factories

[worn oar]

You can temporarily generate thousands of uobjects per second by quickly moving your mouse in a circle over stacks of items in the inventory

[warped crane]

usually jetpack or hoverpack in practice, but also catwalk stairs as backup

[worn oar]

In order of appearance: ramp > ladder > jump pad > hypertube > jetpack > zipline > hoverpack

[warped crane]

some factories have elevators or hypertubes, elevator if it's a bigger / taller factory, hypertube if it's smaller

[raven grotto]

mines going to be quite large

[warped crane]

zipline is only ever long distance travel for me, and I refuse to build jump pads

elevator might be what you're looking for, or multiple elevators

[raven grotto]

#screenshots message im not even done with building either of those walls

oops not the new pic

[warped crane]

You should have a whole bank of elevators like a hotel obviously (even though that would be pointless, really)

pro-tip, you only have to power 1 elevator stop of any given elevator 🤦

[raven grotto]

there i uploaded an updated photo for now

lemme check i dunno if i can even unlock it yet

my sinks may have enough

[warped crane]

hard to assess vertical needs with only 1 floor

[raven grotto]

oh man i just got it

so cool

now i need to figure out how i will integrate it into my build

prolly a central one in the middle

or like for design like 4

[raven grotto]

oh satisfactory is now my most played game

hours wise

[latent prawn]

this is the way

[raven grotto]

now while im building my factory im trying to figure out whats the first floor going to be

[latent prawn]

transport!

[raven grotto]

dont use em

and this is so big compared to what im used to

idk how to space stuff out or what to focus on

[latent prawn]

just keep building until you develop a sense for it

[white oar]

Yo if I was making 12 nuclear fuel rods a minute, how many reactors would I need?

[raven grotto]

i think first things first i decide how to make rooms and make a big ol concrete factory

[dense violet]

0.2 burn per min per reactor

[worn oar]

I'm at 684 hours with only 5 achievements :')

[dense violet]

at 100%

[raven grotto]

how

im at 72 with 24

[worn oar]

I have an extremely bad habit of cheating, ruining my own fun, then restarting entirely

[raven grotto]

oh

only setting I changed was to make it rain more and copy and paste is now num 1 and num 2

[dense violet]

personally I'd clock them to like 200% and build them over water. Easy peasy to feed

also remember, you don't need to build the rods where yo uburn them

easy to drone them to the ocea

[white oar]

So, how many reactors perchance

I'm assuming 12, since I'll be making 12 a min and they last for 5 mins

[burnt kraken]

how do you activate freezing the game by puasing in experimental?

[raven grotto]

ive done run outta concretre

[worn oar]

Many such cases

[raven grotto]

i dunno it just started on for me

[burnt kraken]

why

[coral robin]

Thanks!

[raven grotto]

im so close to finishing the walls to the first floor...

[weary gate]

Do the devs have nolt.io

[dense violet]

sounds about right!

[orchid mica]

The coal is near my base and the waterplant is so far any tips on how to run the watter to the coal power plant?

[dense violet]

dont
most coal is right next to water

find easier spots

[orchid mica]

is impure water okay to use?

[dense violet]

if you're early in the game you can't use thoes water nodes. Find a lake

[orchid mica]

Can I send you map so youcan you look at it?

[dense violet]

did you start in the grassy fields?

[orchid mica]

yeah

[dense violet]

head north north west, you'll go over a cliff and see a circular lake. Lots of coal ther e

use your resource scanner to help

[raven grotto]

dude 20 constructers is only 300/m?

[dense violet]

depending on the recipe? sure

[raven grotto]

how do i make it so storage isnt ugly

[dense violet]

practice planning and design tips you find places 🙂

[worn oar]

Storage is supposed to be ugly IMO

But if you type storage in: design-and-architecture in the search bar it will give you ideas of how other people did it

[raven grotto]

yea its all ugly no matter what

maybe ill just color them or smth

[worn oar]

There's also a site of builds that were highlighted on streams but I can't find the link

[dense violet]

break up spaces - use pipes and belts as decorations. Walk ways things like that

[raven grotto]

right now im making a concrete machine, it looks a lot better than previous machines because im not trying to squeeze every last drop of space

i think thats part of my biggest issues

the factory must grow not stay the same size while advancing duh

[worn oar]

All building sins are forgiven if you can't see them

[raven grotto]

i mean this looks so much better than the past ones #screenshots message

now what in the hell is the point of an impure limestone node

let alone two of them

[quick hound]

that’s just lizard doggo pee water

[jolly marsh]

hi

[raven grotto]

uh ive been playing for 11 hours...

granted i did get a haircut and eat

so like 9 hours?

still actually insane i did that without music too

[unkempt blade]

I like the open air thing you have going on. It really classes the place up

[raven grotto]

Ikr gotta let that new weather really sink in and have the constructors rust yk

Give it a real russian brutalism vibe

[lime rover]

How i stop my game taking up 98% of my gpu on the lowest settings
