Having the jetpack and blade runners simultaneously lets you spend less time in the inventory screen swapping them and maybe build a few fewer concrete platforms and conveyor ramps to grab powerups placed on top of mushrooms and mesas. I'm not sure what the balance issue is in a game where you can just build a towering brutalist edifice anywhere you please

my strategy for dealing with toxic fart clouds so far has been to just dash in, grab the item, then dash back out, cramming nuts in my mouth the entire time. I've been too lazy to research the gas mask and don't want to yield two inventory slots to mask + filters

Yeah, I kinda wish trains were a tier or two earlier than they currently are, most of the way through the current content. The best justification for the current setup I can think of is that the trains and stations look really big and impressive

IMO that’s a fine min spec. Devs should try as hard as they can to get poo poo to run on intel onboard video but that’s obviously not possible with this game. After playing a lot of Kenshi and Kerbal Space Program I’m pretty impressed by how fast and stable Satisfactory is on my setup (nvidia 1060, haswell i5, 8gb ram, Samsung 850 ssd)

I try to avoid looking up the most optimal solutions for this game and factorio, but one thing I've found that lends itself to cleaner design is to start by setting up the assembler(s) for whatever end product I want to produce at a site and work backwards toward the initial inputs

PancakeTransmission posted:The devs even changed it so you couldn't save scum right before research was completing because they realised how some alternate recipes are so much better than others which meant the optimal playstyle was to keep reloading until you get the good ones (aka Casted Screws) first. Goddamn that is a hell of an anti-solution. "People are rerolling because they don't like to find turds in their pinyata. Let's make the turds mandatory." e: more constructively, I'd like to see a mod that removes mechanics like loot crates and cooldowns. Want casted screws?

AI train pathing doesn't seem real smart. someone on reddit said the trains just take every left turn, and while I don't think that's quite right, I've seen a lot of trains pull off right before their next station to go on a world tour

I agree that it takes way too long to get coal power. I'd be happier if it were like the second or third thing you could unlock. The game really has way too many forced time sinks when stuff like building a factory or a railroad can take hours even with buildings going up instantly

making screws on-site is the conventional wisdom. There should be an iron node close to just about everything, or if you have the alt recipe, bringing in steel is a lot more efficient than stacks of screws

NoEyedSquareGuy posted:Wasn't sure the game would actually let me do it but it turns out you actually can use factory carts to automate long-range item transport. They use no fuel so you can set up the truck stations wherever you want and the truck stations have low idle power relative to drone ports. They're extremely cheap to make, if you need more throughput just make another factory cart and set it on the same saved path as the other one. The only hard part is actually recording the initial path yourself since they're a nightmare to drive on anything but foundations, but once you've done that it seems like it might actually be a functional way to do things instead of just a joke like I was expecting. Finishing up the third elevator delivery at the moment, once I really get into the late game I'm going to have hundreds of these dumb things running all over the place. I've heard of people doing using the carts for cargo but I never thought about using them to manage the space elevator spaghetti, which generally has to be ripped out or made an order of magnitude worse at every new tech level. That's one place where throughput is low enough to make them viable too

Lakitu7 posted:It seems like a weird omission that electric cars aren't more available in this future. Sure, battery tech is later in the tech tree, but power cells are very early. Maybe they could move tractors/depots to stage 1-2, and if you stick a power cell in there, it recharges at depots for free? You can still throw coal/combustibles for bigger range and maybe a speed boost, but then vehicle freight would be available earlier and less fiddly to get automated. I think that is an artifact of the game trying to implement a "real life" tech tree that largely mirrors the 19th and 20th centuries. You have to burn coal and then oil before you get to battery electric vehicles. It's weird that you build a space elevator then start burning coal in the middle of an alien ecosystem, but the power plants probably make more gameplay sense than plopping down thousands of solar panels or wind turbines (or just getting free energy beamed down from space)

priznat posted:I think the thing I don’t like is it is really not intuitive how much of a load things take or deliver and how that works with the belts, at least compared to satisfactory. No idea how to match up the the sinks to the sources well and there is no real dedicated sinks so overflows just back stuff up for me. I’m probably playing it wrong somehow but there isn’t enough information in game to sort it out, I find. belts backing up is fine, except for with hydrogen and some oil products, most of which can be burned in generators. it's fine in satisfactory too, you just don't get tickets

Does the unpowered pump trick still work? You build a loop for recycled water then you feed new water into that through an inline pump that isn't connected to power. This used to work but last time I got that deep into the tech tree was before the big revamp.

I *think* what it did was prevent backflow across the pump and keep more new liquid from being added if the loop was already full. I remember having to delete and rebuild it several times before it worked properly so you may be right that it was junction priority or jank doing the trick
