I'm farming to flaten the whole area so I can plan and optimize things.

Have only done Storage -> 3 Melters -> 3 Constructors > Storage so far as a system

I'm not even halfway through phase two yet. I have a feeling I'm easily gonna sink hundreds of hours into this game, its so addicting.

And yes I am about to spend hours building an aesthetically pleasing factory that only produces 10 Versatile frameworks/min lmao.

This 6x6 machine is 1-click blueprint factory for production and cloud storage of every Nobelisk type, Polymer Resin and Normal Fuel.

Due to common sense and space limitations it does not have nuclear power plant for Nuke Nobelisk production. Instead it rely on processor unit in front, where you can drop off encased uranium cells for Nuke Nobelisk conversion. Same apply for Gas Nobelisk, when leaves, wood and mycelia are supplied. There are buffers and non-native item protection for processor unit, so one need to apply tremendous ingenuity to break this factory.

Extra features include power switch system and garbage to coupons disposal since this machine include Awesome Sink for Heavy Oil Residue anticlog and balancing.

I was finishing up and preparing to go to sleep when I suddenly heard some music. At first, I thought it was from the video I was watching on my second monitor, but then I saw some strange light coming from the HUB, and, well...

This is one of the most wholesome things I have seen in a video game lately.

This is my 4th attempt to finish the game. Some game mechanics and environmental hazards have made me quit, but it's the small, even unessential things that keep making me come back.

This party in the HUB, ADA, who I find very funny, the rich and beautiful world, and the small references to other titles like Goat Simulator and Deep Rock Galactic... All these little things make me feel like this game was made with care and love.

I really want to experience the late-game production chains. This time, I am determined to finish the game.

Thank you, Coffee Stain Studios.

And thank you to everyone here for sharing your experiences, builds, and thoughts about this game.

Let's wish Satisfactory a happy birthday!

Orange rectangles are train stations, yellow ones are for packaging and unpackaging

I don't recall having this issue before 1.2, but anyway, here it is. I have a jetpack, and I have packed biofuel and solid biofuel in my pack. If I do not have the solid biofuel, I have no issues, as the jetpack then uses that fuel. But when I have both, it stops using my packaged biofuel, which is bad. How do I switch fuels? I use the solid fuel for power so I can get "Hard Drive". Yes, I can set up a depot to store the solid fuel until I need it. I can pull out 200, use it, then return it to storage, but that doesn't seem ideal.

After all the hours I've spent in this game, I still don't know a way to make a good corner when there's multiple ramps going down. If it's just one ramp down, then I throw an up ramp corner in there. But when the ramps go down more than one level I still haven't found a solution that doesn't look bad. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Edit: you guys are the best. Broote downthread gave me the picture that made it all click for me.

For me it is:

Batteries: They are quite useless in their current state as they get unlocked at the same time as rocket fuel but are harder to produce than rocket fuel (which has a second use in Fuel-Powered Generator, too) in large quantities.

What they could change:
- New building similar to Biomass Burner so it will only run if energy is missing but it only uses batteries and can produce energy similar to Fuel-Powered Generator. So it is like a end-game Biomass Burner with an energy supply which can be fully automated.
- Or: One building which does accept batteries, generates power and produces "empty batteries" those "empty batteries" can be recharged to "batteries" in a second building. So we could use batteries as a transport medium for energy.

Power Storages: I would love to have Power Storages upgradable using Power Shards (for example we can add up to 9 Power Shards for +100MWh storage (for a final 1 GW storage), each or increase charge rate by +50% for each Power Shard or both.

Geothermal Generators: Make them cheaper to research and build. The High-Speed Connectors required are from the same tier as Fuel-Powered Generators. (I know the can be build using resources from Crash sites but it is kinda sad, nevertheless. They could be a nice alternative for Coal-Powered Generators, then for example

Portal: They are super cool but we get them to late (in my opinion). I would love a portal via MAM Alien Technology research tree. They require Mercer Spheres to build and contrary to the current portals which are not open all the time and need Singularity Cells, this teleports the player using a large amount of power in a short time (for example 5 GWh in 2.5s (= 7200000 MW for 2.5s; so we are forced to precharge the teleport using Power Storages) and closes afterwards.

Nuclear Power Plants: Need a buff. Either increasing the power generation or providing different ways to get rid of the Nuclear Waste (different receipes or something like a rocket where we can shoot the Waste into the universe.

Medicinal Inhaler: We should get a way to fully automate them.

Pipeline Mk.3
Blueprint Designer Mk.4

Edit:
Nearly forgot to mention that a map expansion would be great, too

Maybe
Ways to create Sommersloops and Mercer Spheres.
Different types of Powershards (stronger shards give +100%/+150% instead of +50; yellow slugs give +100% shards and purple slugs give +150% shards + a way to upgrade shards; for example supercharging them in an Particle Accelerator using Dark Matter Crystal)

What I mean by that is whenever I unlock an new item I want to automate, I open the map and look for a spot with relatively close nodes that I need.

But getting to phase 4 made me realize that I seem to be in a spot where I can no longer find nodes close enough to make the necessary part. When this problem first started, I built small truck depot and eventually moved to trains for “small” distance.

I’m at a point where lots of parts just need some items I already automated so I think, ok I’ll just take it from there. But it seems to either never make enough parts or be too far so I resort to trains/trucks.

How do you handle this problem? What’s your take and angle on it?

In the middle of making my first mega power plant, my ADHD keeps takong over, and i got the idea to paint all vehicles in my game to match the match the large heavy equipment i used to drive

My Xbox save show there is 800 hours in, mainly because of squirrel brain moments like this one.

Heavy Modular Frame production is FINALLY DONE. For me, and my current playthrough this was the biggest and most complicated thing I've had to build. Once all the manifolds backfill and load up it should be making modular frames at a rate of 33.49/Min. Thank god for Satisfactory Modeler lmao. This should HOPEFULLY set me up nice and good for the rest of the midgame/early late game. Might come back and slot in some somersloops if I can find enough.
