I could be wrong, but I thought spending hours making and remaking factories was kinda the whole point. If that's not fun for you, what's the draw?

Hmm I feel like I'm hitting a bit of a snag. The base nuclear reactor is way too small to give the look I want, so I'm obviously gonna have to go with multiples, but mechanically, I'm not sure how that all plays out. If I decide to go with a 3x2 'base' arrangement on all 8 points, and then maybe have an extra four or five stacked on top, is it possible to sustain up to 90 reactors without massively loving something up? Or am I gonna have to run something else.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:Hmm I feel like I'm hitting a bit of a snag. Going by the wiki, assuming you mined all the uranium on the map and had the right alternate recipes you could supply ~470 reactors. It's more a matter of making them fit in whatever you have planned for that structure, making things neat in a circular building is inherently going to be a pain.

The thing about 90 nuclear reactors is the infrastructure to make all the fuel rods for them would probably take up the rest of that huge plate. Alternately, if it's looks that you are concerned with you could get micromanage and use it to make the nuke buildings bigger. Micromanage can scale things up and down. It'd feel like cheating to me to make machines tiny, so I don't do that. But there's no possible objection to making things huge.

You could always build something to mimic the mako reactors and just put the actual reactor on top for the steam.

Looks like there's an engine update coming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kmDHBWf640 Somewhat technical in nature, it's more about what Coffee Stain could do with the new engine rather than what they're definitely doing.

What is that guys accent? It seems like he slips into some sort of British accent occasionally. It doesn't matter in the long run I'm just curious.

Jace is aussie not swedish. (I don't watch a ton of their streams, but right before 3.5 I was watching the dev Q&A stuff. And the other community guy, who I'm pretty sure is swedish, asked Jace what the aussie word "wog" meant and Jace was like nononononono you can't say that.)

I have a weird problem that I'm not sure how to google. I just had to tear up my train unloading area at one of my stations because a smart splitter stopped working. I deleted the input conveyor belt to make sure something unexpected wasn't stuck in it, but now anytime I try to re-attach it, it says it's "too steep". Is there any way to fix it?

Try deleting the splitter and conveyor, connecting conveyor directly between A and B, and then build the splitter directly onto that conveyor. Smart & programmable splitters have a weirdly low IO port that produces the too steep problem when you place them very close to the IO of a machine, despite normal splitters working in that location. (Alternately, the micromanage mod can move things around by small amounts, so you can use that to raise the smart splitter by 1/10th of a meter.)

  Closing in on the Golden Nut, this should get me there and I'm guessing it will take about 100 hours to set up and drive me insane in the process. All the basic resources and water are being fed into the building, floor 1 has 60 out of the 200 refineries I need just for copper ingot production. Fitting enough extractors to generate 9300 water was kind of tough since there are rocks and shallow areas everywhere in the lake and the moth swoops down through the west section which makes it off limits. Floor 2 is already twice the space as floor 1, floors are going to get increasingly bigger as I build up and can expand towards the cliff. The added space per floor should help to make this a bit less maddening. Once this is done I think I'll be genuinely finished with the game until 1.0 arrives. Would rather wait until that point before starting massive projects like this but nothing else really scratches the same itch as Satisfactory.

(formerly Smart Foundations) is the most compatible mod for bulk construction of foundations (and a selection of buildings). While it *can* put foundations/buildings in funky spots, it's 100% compatible with all vanilla foundations and even a few foundation mods.

Would rather wait until that point before starting massive projects like this but nothing else really scratches the same itch as Satisfactory. I got to the same point, I expanded my train route around the game map. Set up another huge train station to mine the aluminum sheets for heat sinks. Made a small factory I could feed in materials to make turbo motors and made over 200. Then I planned out what I would need to do a simple 20 turbo motor/min setup. Another train route, much shorter, route to do it. Then I figured if I did that then there would be nothing left to do. So I just stopped playing. Loaded up for a bit to check out the xmax event, its ok.

Unfortunately the one bad part of satisfactory tools is that it disregards any alt recipe that doesn't reduce raw material consumption. (I am frequently annoyed by this as I really like the alt recipe "bolted iron plate". But since it's 10 screws less efficient than the base recipe it will never be used.) LonsomeSon posted:

The only thing I don't like about using these websites is that I have no idea where to visualize the mountains are between these lines. If they wanted to make these auto figure out to build sites to be good, they should add in a grid map where to place all the conveyor belts through the world also.

It's a flowchart of nothing but the resource flows. If you look closely those boxes say stuff like 16x manucafturer, because you need 16 manufacturers to output 40 computers per minute. Sourcing the raw materials and figuring out the physical layout is up to you. (Also the whole chart is pretty useless when it comes to turbomotors, you have to start breaking it into sub-parts because even with a list to guide you it's really hard to manage.)

Well the first step is "7680 crude oil" so I would start by making a giant structure in the center of the map and piping 3/4 of the oil in the entire game to that.

I'd be lying if there wasn't a deep, dark part of my brain that, every time I set up a new large scale build for a resource, seeing just how close i can get to maxing out a mk5 conveyor on final output. Obviously past a point I'm sure it's impossible but I still like to imagine those 700 some odd turbo motors per minute just chugging along at the end of the continent spanning conveyor hell that facilitates it.

The maximum production of turbo motors in the game currently is 156/min. It would be a map wide factory to do that also.

Klyith posted:I'd start by picking up some hard drives Didn't realize I'd forgotten to turn on alt recipes for the original graph, let's run it again.  There we go, now that's a genuine nightmare. Uses barely any oil though, so I guess that's a bonus? If you maximize the recipe instead of setting it to output 20/min it looks like the real limiters are bauxite and raw quartz, if you used up the entire map supply of both you could end up producing 156 turbo motors/min. Would also still end up using about half the caterium, 3/4 of the oil, and you would need to feed the whole thing ~32,000 water/min. You'd get an extra .02 aluminum ingots/min out of it though, so that's a nice bonus.

I was expecting to just make a little hand fed factory for this, but it looks like it's going to have to be a legit Xmas factory. You can attach conveyor belts to the Christmas Tree to get a steady stream of gifts. Clearly this is the future for biofuel.

The big tree you build first is just a progress indicator, it will decorate itself as you level up the tech tree. But in the next tier you can build smaller ficmas gift trees that can be belted up to and produce gifts. I think it's two more days for it to unlock normally. I can only imagine it won't be long until we see folks with massive forests producing gifts.
