Okay but it wouldn't be on The Grid. It'd be on its own grid. And that's unacceptable.

Did they finally fix the problem with placing them that you could place multiple supports on the same "spot" if you didn't move your mouse enough to snap to the next height?

For anyone else using Satisfactory Mod Loader and having issues with black screen/crashing after the update: select the mod profile you want, then exit SML and restart it. It'll prompt to update everything; do so. For some reason the "check for updates" command doesn't do anything but the automatic check when SML starts up works fine.

kloa posted:Still no dedicated server or mp fixes huh Those two are really the same thing. A dedicated server is just a game that doesn't display the graphics, so once they get multiplayer working correctly for anyone who isn't the host, the dediated server is mostly done. The steam release is next week, so hopefully we'll see some progress in that direction after that.

Newb here. OK so my steel is far from my base. For the beams I brought conveyors over and now I need to bring the pipes over. I have looked at merging my steel pipes and beams onto the existing belt and then using a smart splitter to split them up once they got to the base. Or would I be better off with a vehicle? I started in the northern forest start described in ImKibitz's starting site guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEJ3iC2bXaU which I would suggest be added to the OP since we'll probably see a lot of new players with the game on Steam on Monday. Any suggestions appreciated.

If you've already built one belt, I'd just use stackable conveyors and run two belts on the same path. Trucks can be difficult for handling two item types like beams and pipes.

Lot of times you gotta bite the bullet and build a long rear end conveyor from your ore to your base. I personally like conveying ore in so if I need to upscale at my base I can instead of running to the node. There's plenty of times when processing at the node is more reasonable. My starter base is at the easy location and theres plenty of iron there to make steel with, I have 2 different coal nodes coming in, one goes to my powerstations and the other to various things like steel and gunpowder. I really got crunched for iron products at the last stage of the space elevator research, but before that I was totally flush with beams and pipes, so do whatever you need to now, later you'll have to expand it anyway.

One of the things I've been doing on my later builds is making good use of extra storage buffers for surge production needs. Not just a storage unit at the end of the line like I always have, but putting one immediately after it comes out of the manufacturer.

I stick by my tried-and-true Hub with Storage design: - Each manufacturing product goes into one of a ring of storage containers, which then exits out to a conveyor belt that circle around above the storage containers. - Each new product pulls from that ring for raw materials. The end result is a central hub that you have access to all your products quickly (great for stocking up before an expedition), and it's easy to know when it's time to expand the production of a product, because the output of the containers starts exceeding the input.  You can then put your hub or your space elevator or a train station or whatever you like in the middle.

I've had a few instances before where I've had junk somehow get placed into the assembly line, particularly with power shards back on update 3 experimental. Which results in it sitting there before it actually enters the machine, but far enough inside that it's incredibly easy to miss.

(the way around is temporarily select a recipe with the wrong object and extract it internally)

I started binging his update 3 play through the other day and this guy plays a lot, holy gently caress. His patience is unreal as well, he sets things up that I wouldn’t even consider doing half of. His catch phrases and poo poo are very annoying but he plays the game so well I just ignore it

As luck would have it, I have today off, and my kids were going to be out of the house for most of the day. When I get up and check if the game is listed on Steam yet, not until 3pm local.

I've been trying to drag my buddy into playing this with me, but can't see to get him to catch the building bug. He likes other building games like Minecraft and Terreria, but I don't think ever played any factory-type games like Factorio. Suggestions?

I'm a little hesitant to recommend him, but really Imkibitz is the YouTuber who explains stuff the best for me. However you have to kind of measure out the doses of him:) Conversely, just have him buy the game on Steam or Epic and play with you, being very careful not to exceed the two hour refund window.

Frankly what got me to buy the game was seeing gameplay videos from people who were really slow to catch on the to the game and played badly and constantly missed obvious clues to doing things better. I wanted to show (myself) I could do better...

Steam still tells me it plans to unlock in 4 hours, though I suppose that'll go down an hour when 1pm est rolls around. The time is right if the other poster is in CST. the official announcement on steam doesn't give a time or timezone. I'm jazzed to play it too.  Edit: oh I see the countdown on their stream. Still, steam is lying to us all

You fix this by attaching pumps near the uphill part (you can't stack pumps near the harvester, I tried)

This is from the refinery and the oil has never flowed. I do have pipes going uphill though down the line, wasn't thinking.

Have you backed up the pipes with another product and need to flush them? Power is there, I checked the closest power pole and it's sending power. I'm sending the oil to the refinery to make plastic. I have the refinery outputting to a fluid buffer and a storage container. There's no other connection that is interfacing with the oil pipes.
