They said as recently as a month ago that the collectibles are still going to be in the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi5DXCm4kys and two months ago that SAM will also stick around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q-naOmF9I4 The messaging has been pretty consistent from what I've seen, collectibles and SAM will do *something* but they won't specify much beyond that.

Ah, I mis-remembered, then. Thought they’d said SAM at least was out in favor of finishing the game on the timeline they wanted.

Seeing random screenshots on the Satisfactory subreddit, I remember that most building assets (beyond the belt items) haven't yet been converted to Nanite. I hope that'll happen on the way to 1.0. The very least the static stuff/parts.

I hope that'll happen on the way to 1.0. The very least the static stuff/parts. Confirmed no. The problem is it's not a simple conversion, especially for stuff like the belts. They experimented with normal buildables and still had enough problems that they axed it for insufficient time. Apparently it would not be a big performance benefit for normal buildables, it would just look nicer due to the nanite infinite-LOD thing.

I can understand it for belts or animated parts. But static things like an Industrial Fluid Buffer and such, Epic always pretends it's like pick your high res asset, check this box and ditch your LODs (which are sometimes pretty terrible, more so since it seems to switch early since U8).

There was a pure unobtainium node underneath the Home Tree, the humans did what had to be done.

I know if a doctor saw my factory complex they'd probably diagnose me with ADHD. I love factory builders but dang is it hard to stop and smell the roses, I just want everything unlocked now OK? Also you should hate on trucks less I have two sharing a "road" and they've worked perfectly since the first janky recording attempt. You can delete bad path nodes and they auto-recover if they get stuck. Did you know the tractor is slower than the truck? I have this perpetually frustrated truck stuck behind a tractor that usually waits but sometimes rams it from behind pushing it off the road and it all works just fine.

In Satisfactory, you'd probably set up Smart Splitters so that your 110 plates and 217 rods go to Factory B, and any backup on the line would feed your storages. Or you could fill your storages first, but know that your downstream factories might shut down for a bit if you pull stuff from storage.

Is there a known issue where machines suddenly go idle when the player moves to a medium distance away? Like, some intermediate distance between touching it and LOD. I had a group start a MP game. We all took a break to play other things. I asked for the save from the host so I could SP it without bothering him if it crashed or needed restarting. I will walk around a factory I built and watch machines enter the yellow idle state. Usually that's indicative of a problem you know? not enough of something or output full etc. But nope. I'll check the machine out and it's fine. I'll watch it for 10 minutes while doing something else. No problems. Walk away? Turns off. This is an always on factory that is perfectly balanced. It should never shut off for any reason like a backed up manifold or something. I thought that it was just a trick, but then I checked the power graph at my power switch and sure enough I see dips where machines went to idle. It's bizarre. I checked the QA forums and didn't see anything, but it can be hard to find older issues in there.

Are you using liquids? Liquid pipes slosh around and even if you have enough supply things like this can happen. The throughput is more of an average.

Wearing a hoverpack? This longstanding bug has never been fixed. And probably won't since it's pretty minor, and I'd bet is a side-effect of the power grid wanting to minimize overhead with like lazy updates or something. AFAIK it only happens on sub-grids (behind power & light switches). Anything that makes the sub-grid update -- connecting with the hoverpack, switching lights -- causes machines to go idle for one cycle, plus their restart delay. tl;dr take your hoverpack off when running around finished factories checking their production rates VegasGoat posted:Are you using liquids?

VegasGoat posted:Are you using liquids? Liquid pipes slosh around and even if you have enough supply things like this can happen. The throughput is more of an average. Lots. But this isn't the case. Throughput of the pipes may be averaged, but the machines don't lie about how much they have in their buffers. All of my machines had enough inputs and space in the outputs. This is an aluminum plant and I'm a big believer in recycling water, so that was my first thought is that my design was flawed and I had a water backup. Again. But it just wasn't the case. Klyith posted:Wearing a hoverpack? This longstanding bug has never been fixed. gently caress. It's this. I knew I didn't use subgrids for a reason. I've run into this problem before. I think you and I had this exact conversation like a year ago or something. I'm getting old.

Started another game, yet again bootstrapping my way all through to tier 6. Always the same poo poo. :[

Given the glut of other factory builders at the moment (Foundry & Techtonica spring to mind, with the latter even being on Game Pass!), I'm able to redirect my building needs until then.

I saw the discussion about coal tier trains last page. The points against were all very reasonable, but let me raise this: coal powered trains that you unlock before computers. Give me a steam locomotive that doesn't require power to run and you have to refuel it with coal and water. There's no real reason for it to exist, but I want more things belching black smoke.

How would you simplify the train routing to justify a pre-computer recipe? Maybe steam locomotives would always take the last-activated branch at every fork, and always stop at every station?

I was thinking having you record the route, like with land vehicles, and having them ignore signals.

Make them half the speed and capacity. Allow the usage of the same rails.
