That's a crash site. The drone itself isn't interactive, but the cargo pod it carries is. There's also random supplies scattered around it, which can be a real good early source of things like circuit boards, motors, and frames. To open the cargo pod and get the delicious harddrive inside you need to meet certain requirements, and it varies based on the pod. Sometimes it's a certain power amount (just build some biomass burners, hook it up, open the pod, disassemble everything) sometimes it's a specific number of random items, sometimes it's both.

I do not like the website calculator (I find it vastly overcomplicates things) and have also resigned myself to indented notepad calculations. I'm wondering if there's Excel magic that can automate it and I can just input desired output like the site but have Excel just provide it formatted like the notepad method. Quite honestly, knowing very little Excel it'd probably be easier to just code a small calculator that outputs in that format instead...

This calculator had a really nice layout that I found easy to follow, but hasn't been updated since before liquids were added. I'd love to see something like this for the latest version. https://kirkmcdonald.github.io/satisfactory-calculator/calc.html

Are there conveyor splitter/merger tiers that I need to be concerned about, or will any splitter/merger handle as many items as the attached belts can deal with?

Splitters and mergers have unlimited capacity, except if you built it on top of an existing belt.

Splitters and mergers don't have a flow rate in any meaningful way, they'll put out what they get in at whatever rate they get it.

^I believe they're referring to which you have a belt already made and just put a splitter on top of it without rebuilding anything. No idea if that affects anything though.Cojawfee posted:I am excited to announce that I just figured out that you can whack the antenna of the tractor with the xeno-basher.

I mean you can place a belt, then place a splitter/merger on the belt, and the game will treat the belts on either sides of the splitter/merger as if you placed the splitter/merger then connected the belt. I.e., all belts off a split/merge are treated separately for upgrading regardless of how any of them were originally placed.

You probably picked up a bit of mined uranium whilst destroying the plug, which is a Bad Thing. When you 'loot all' to get it back, you're getting that bit, which retains its Bad Thing status

That is exactly what happened with my brother, he died and when he went back to get his stuff he smacked loot all cause the ambient radiation was killing him. Then he realized he had the ore in his inventory and died again.

Can coal be used to fuel trucks from a truck stop? I'm belting coal into the fuel portion of the truck stop but it seems like it's not fueling up the truck?

It certainly can. Do you have another type of fuel in the truck tank? Have you tried to put a unit of coal in just to get it started?

It's a multiplayer bug I think. Trucks are basically non functional in multiplayer because you can't automate their refueling e: the symptom for this is that the fuel items get belted in and just vanish into thin air entirely instead of stockpiling in the station

You can but it's sometimes buggy for me and won't let me attach things to the sides. But it's good for when a belt is on a slope and placing a merger would make it look awkward.

Welp, just finished a goddamned monstrosity. This four level, ten story Motor Factory behemoth took me about three hours to put together in trying to get the conveyor belts to work and not look like complete tangled crap. Level 1:  Four smelters turn 120 incoming iron into the needed 120 ingots. Two Assemblers take incoming Copper Wire and Steel Pipes (manufactured elsewhere because I was making too much of them) and turns them into Rotors. The 120 ingots get lifted to... Level 2:  8 Constructors make Iron Rods, 70 of which are then lifted to... Level 3:  Where 7 more Constructors turn iron rods into screws, and somehow merge them and split them into 3 equal belts (which would be easier if I had a belt that could take 280 screws a minute!) and sends them to... Level 4:  The top, open air floor where 3 more Assemblers take the 50 iron rods from floor 2 and the 280 screws from floor 3 to make rotors, allowing this one last assembler -  to poot out a whopping 5 motors a minute. And now I have to paint the loving thing.  In retrospect, I should have just dropped down some Assemblers and linked up my storage area to them and let them slowly churn away, and just assumed that I'd be making more of the original parts than I needed (though maybe I needed to up screw production). That would have been a lot less work, and it would have required only a minor overhaul of my storage area. But at least now I can just let this run and get all the motors I'll ever need. I hope I need a lot of them.

I never enclosed any of my factory, it just felt unsatisfying. They should give you some kind of production bonus, or weather considerations that gamify making buildings, i think that would keep me more engaged in the cosmetic aspects of the game.

Couple of questions: 1. Will the higher mark miners overbuild the lower mark miners? Or is there a size difference? Just wanting to know how much room to leave before any splitters for future proofing. 2. Will I unlock better smelters? Or is the base 30/min smelter it? Not unlocking anything more efficient would explain some of the alternate recipes I saw. My first reaction to iron ore + copper ore = iron ingots was “This seems like a waste”. But I kinda get it after playing a bit. Especially since I got the iron wire alternate recipe. 3. What tier unlocks a production facility that has a solid and liquid input? I unlocked an alternate recipe that uses water to make copper sheets, but I don’t seem to have the building available yet.

Orvin posted:Couple of questions: (1) Yes, higher mark miners will overbuild lower mark ones just like conveyor belts. (2) As far as I know the base smelter is it. If you want faster smelting you need to build more smelters or use alternate recipes. (3) Tier 5 -> Oil Processing unlocks the Refinery, which is also used for non-oil-related solid+liquid recipes.
