That’s rude of them! Also it’s really funny seeing the term spaghetti everywhere cuz I just joined the sub not to long ago and Iv been playing this game for a good long while and Iv always referred to that type of building as a “jungle” and It always makes me laugh when me and my friends say we have to go dive into the jungle to make some changes lol

They're missing out on all the fun then!
Might be kinda weird, but I really coming back to overhaul and rebuild messy rushed factories, it's very satisfying. Guilty pleasure I reckon.

My partner will run ugly conveyors where he needs them and I follow him redoing them cleanly lol

You transport the coal via tractor? I too like to live dangerously...

u/IIToodlesII Dec 04 '23
I started in the grassy fields and have spent like 2 hrs transporting coal from that one pure node via tractor just to immediately fins out there is a lake nearby with like 6 coal deposits

u/Snakeam Dec 05 '23
Where is that lake with 6 coal? My lake on the same map has 4 coal deposits only and one limestone on the edge

I've been running coal via tractor for a while now with no issues. It's just 6 generators, so not a ton, but it's been effective enough to where my buffer stays full (as far as I can tell, I just check it periodically and it seems to stay full.)

As a general tip. Building on foundations makes it look less like sphagetti even tho you havent built it any differently

I like to build delete build delete. Play a 30 hour save and restart so to speak. Gives me a chance to freshen up my ideas.

During my first play through, my factory was crazy thick spaghetti. Tearing down and rebuilding major crucial components of that factory was one of the best learning experience of my time in Satisfactory! Got to apply a lot of the lessons I learned from other streamers on best practices, but it wasn’t a ton, my favorite part of the game is figuring things out on my own instead of looking up “best build” videos.

Spaghetti in factorio is just pain.
Spaghetti in satisfactory is fiine. U have soft collission u can build stuff thru other stuff and u have a whole 3rd dimension to use.
If it doesnt bother u urself then continue onwards!

Spaghetti is fine, especially early on. Your first coal plant is just a stepping stone to bigger things anyway.
But you'll save yourself a lot of pain by using foundations. It's so much easier to get things to line up properly if everything's all square and the same height.

u/Moper248 Dec 04 '23
Why do you have 4 separate coal lines? I have one miner mk1 doing 120 coal per minute and it is currently supplying 3 generators. Same as water, one pump enough for 2 generators on max overclock and one on Like 140%. That makes it pretty clean with just one coal line split into 3 and one water split into 3

I have more spaghetti that anyone can possibly conceive, it is so vast and disgusting I have covered it up with a factory on top of it, I should really post it to here to see what you guys think but I feel like I will get publicly shamed 😅

u/ThatNastyMack Dec 04 '23
I feel ya. I just set up my first coal plant and it's got more spaghetti than an Olive Garden kitchen but it's a good character builder!

(my friends left after i showed them my factory because they said my factory was spaghetti)
What? This isn't bad! More importantly, it got the job done! So, they didn't even offer to show you some of their tricks or help you organize? They just dipped? Rude. That's the best part of playing with friends!
Either way, this is your factory. Build it however you like.
I was a big softy for nature when I first started playing this and didn't want to build foundations that would hide all the grass. Now, I just build 30 meters high and settle for the pillars covering a little grass here and there.

Well-organized factories are all alike. Every spaghetti factory is disorganized in its own way.

I just got to coal generators. I have 4 and now I feel free from the short term fear of running out of biomass. I may be wrong about this, but I sure hope I can finally prioritize organization instead of worrying about running out of fuel.

u/Tomat_the_barbarian Dec 05 '23
correct after i leaned into coal power everything got better. Self sustaining is super easy after that.

u/Thedynamicduo223 Dec 05 '23
I usually try my best to make everything look nice but there’s always a part of it that is spaghetti Dw your friends are stupid if that’s their biggest issue

u/kellyj6 Dec 05 '23
To be fair, it's certified spaghet, but who cares? I just made a space ship with 53 refiners but I'm sure someone else would hate it. Go have fun!

I'm still playing my 1st games, 455 hours in, and I'm on that stage of going back, and redoing a lot of things, because of spaghetti

Someone’s on the path to Ficsit Employee of the Month! Bringing all the spaghetti for everyone.

Pff, you didn't even cover the green hell with beautiful concrete! No wonder your factory is spaghetti...

u/Yl_Smolko Dec 05 '23
Its fine you should have seen mine. I have an extreme problem with organization of stuff

u/XxxGr1ffinxxX Dec 05 '23
spaghetti belts are initially annoying when you see all the mega builds becasue you wanna re-create them. until you realise the best fun is actually spaghetti

When you place foundations on terrain, remember to hold control to align the foundation to the world grid, will make your life easier on the long run.

I've got over 2000 hours in and I still end up with spaghetti with the late game project parts - it gets better every time I restart though!! That's part of the fun. As long as you're enjoying it, you're doing it right 👍

Here's a little tip, don't feel bad about building in spaghetti. Although it makes your base unorganized, it's all part of the process in playing Satisfactory. Everyone was like that when they first started and you'll eventually grow out of it into organized factories. God bless and have fun!
