I love the lizard dog and it's cute as hell but is there a way to make it stop following you? It's hard to build with it getting in the way all the time

You're a bad person. I wish I could tame the bird instead of the lizard dog

Turns out I can give berries to lizard dogs and just not pet them and they'll run off after a while

I feed the lizard dog, which is more important from its point of view

They've previously said they're working on making the building system better and I will be genuinely surprised if the next update just adds more pieces to be built in the current way. To build everything shown using the current system would require a ridiculous number of new buildables.

I need help: I keep stalling out when I get to tier 4 and onwards. My base produces the following and dumps them in storages: biofuel, iron plates, reinforced plates, rods, screws, rotors, cable, wire, modular frames, copper sheets, concrete, steel pipe and steel beams. Once I need resources that aren't local to my starting base (iron, copper, limestone) I sort of flounder until I give up. I never know what kind of rates to shoot for, either. Do you produce everything centrally, or what kind of remote/satellite facilities do you make? I feel like I need some kind of example of what works so I can try it out and find a style that works for me. Edit: for example in Factorio I can set myself the goal of X of each science pack per second, but I have no idea what rate I should be making stuff in Satisfactory Edit 2: I really enjoy the experience of designing and building a factory once I know what I need to make and how much of it, I just have no loving idea how to work out that target in the first place GotLag fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Aug 30, 2021 |

Manager Hoyden posted:This is exactly why it is an astoundingly bad design decision to make trains such a late game technology and make them so resource intensive. Good news, this can be fixed! I've put together some recipe patches for ContentLib, just download these files and put them in FactoryGame/Configs/RecipePatches in your install folder (you'll need to create the RecipePatches folder yourself). These unlock the locomotive, track and station with Advanced Steel Production at tier 4, and the platforms and freight wagon with Logistics Mk.3, also at tier 4. The recipes are the same except all the computers have been replaced with AI limiters so you don't need plastics to build them. I would have preferred to patch the monorail milestone to move it to tier 4 but the documentation for ContentLib sucks rear end.

Triarii posted:- Producer buildings really don't need such gigantic input buffers for resources. It causes all sorts of production delays, and makes it hard to tell at a glance whether your resource ratios are out of whack or things are fine and just haven't settled into place yet. It can get really egregious with things that take a long time to produce, like the Adaptive Control Units for Assembly Director Systems - they're built at a rate of one per minute and an assembler's input can hold fifty of them, so a decently sized line of assemblers fed by a manifold can take literal hours to get fully producing. I coded this sort of thing once and I think the logic I used for the buffer size was "enough to produce the selected recipe for 30 seconds, or to produce the recipe twice, whichever is greater". I agree with this, but I will note that the most common newbie question/complaint in the Factorio Discord and IRC channel is "why have my inserters stopped even though the machine's input isn't full??????"

Combat Pretzel posted:I've just started playing this. How are the type of resource like quartz and especially coal supposed to work? The deposits disappear once I've dug them out. This seems especially puzzling with coal? Resource deposits are the rock-like things that are scattered all over and disappear when you chisel them a few times. Resource nodes are the bigger, roughly circular piles of resource-coloured rocks that you can build miners on, and are endless. Once you've done the first research for the sulfur and quartz trees you'll be able to find the nodes using your resource scanner. There's no procedural generation, but resources nodes produce forever and there's not the same emphasis on endless resource sinks as in Factorio, so you don't need to keep expanding in that way. Edit: To clarify, there are endless nodes for every resource type, they just might not be near where you're currently set up. Use the scanner and go exploring.

Early on I use a workbench to convert the leaves, wood and carapaces into biomass by hand, then dump it all in one container feeding a constructor that will happily chug along in the background converting it to solid fuel. Alien carapaces make a good renewable and quick-to-collect fuel source, especially when you have the rebar gun. One bolt as it approaches you and then a single zap to finish it off as it reaches you.

LonsomeSon posted:Also, only a coward doesn’t trust their ability to reload and fire again, to get the gently caress pig kill! It's more of a timing/rhythm thing. Fire, reload while it recovers and charges again, switch to zapper, poke it as it reaches you, switch to rebar gun, choose a new victim.

Underclocking gives you significant power savings early game, which helps increase the time between biofuel generator refills

Yeah that's the trade-off with manifolds. Trees distribute more evenly but take up more space and have to be planned more in advance.

drunken officeparty posted:Not having a fully random map was such a huge mistake. Random map, tweak the enemy system, and add a repeating End Game goal and it would be just as infinitely replayable as Factorio. Procedural generation takes a lot of development time to do, time which is better spent handcrafting one guaranteed good map instead of hoping you can sometimes generate some that don't suck.

Going by the example there if you wanted to make a big complicated intersection all you'd need is a chain signal at each entrance and a signal at each exit, no need to break it up into smaller blocks.

Mayveena posted:My game crashed using SML but maybe it was the mods I was using? I've deleted all the folders, you're saying it may be safe just to install SML? The mod launcher servers are being hammered so it may not have downloaded everything that needs updating (or those updates may not have been released yet).

Word of warning about the foundation world grid snap (Ctrl while placing on terrain): it appears to snap based on the centre of the foundation you're placing, so the top/bottom of a 1-metre foundations will be 0.5 metres off the grid versus 2- or 4-metre foundations

Turns out that half-metre vertical offset from snapping 1-metre foundations to the world grid has a use: you can now make workshops actually feel like part of your factory:
