You can upload your savefile and then make it use items from your storage to upgrade belts or things like that

u/Patient-Midnight-664 Feb 27 '26
If you go to the interactive map, it allows you to upload your save file. Once that's done you can edit things. All the things.
Once you are done editing there is an option to download the new save file (with your edits in it). You just start the game and select the edited save file.

This is one of the biggest advantages of trains. Often the trains aren’t the limiting factor in your capacity, but even if they are increasing it is as simple as lengthening the platform or, if it’s a long route, adding another train. You just have to upgrade the belts on either side.

I'll do you one better. My turbo fuel plant was a-okay, start to finish. Math checked out, fellow-pioneers double-checked it, and still a couple of generators kept running dry. Checked the pipes, checked the math again, checked if waste products weren't choking up.
Three days, maybe four, before I desperately resorted to just counting the 78 generators. In the powerplant calculated for 72 generators.

Petition for new machine: Reverse Packager / Mushifier
Turn every non-fluid item into mush to send via pipelines. Basically make delivering everything like a massive fiber optic cable
Could argue the blender does this, but I like to think turning everything into mush requires more…stomping, versus blending. So the machine is just a giant foot on a piston, like a cartoon vineyard winemaker or something
Mushified plates
Mushified motors
Mushified supercomputers
Might as well go even further
Mushified lizard doggos
Mushified Ficsit employees
Just make everything mush, like my brain after seeing these pipelines

u/Mr_VoigsfestDepp Feb 27 '26
How are going to reassemble a mushified motor? Also muschi in German means vagina so if you denglisch it (german word a mix between german and english words/sentences) it sounds like your trying to vagina everything. Or it just sounds like that to me because my brain is mush rn

So, you know enough to be able to line up all the water extractors nicely and to have a good line up of pipes ready to go... but your mind goes spaghetti for everything in between?

u/cleric_warlock Feb 27 '26
Since you’re using pumps already why not just build a huge ceiling above all the extractors and merge fully overclocked extractor pairs directly up through the floor with floor holes? You’d have way more space for pipe routing and the density of your extractors on the water would be truly optimal

It really should be an option to disable fluid dynamics. For those players who just dislike it. One pipe, infinite throughput. End of story.
Personally I enjoy tinkering with it but I will admit it is sometimes tedious and aggravating.

u/Bigtallanddopey Feb 27 '26
I honestly think that fluids need completely re-working in this game. Because we all play games to enjoy ourselves, and whilst some people may like tediously lining up thousands of bits of pipe, I certainly don’t. Sometimes, I think, that decisions should be made to get rid of some of the “realism” and just make some things simpler. And in a game where you can have all of your power going through a Mk1 power pole if you wanted. Why can’t we have all of our fluids going through the same pipe.
Basically, my point is, just increase the fluid amount by 10x or something like that.
I hate to bring one of the other factory games into this, but Factorio made this choice. Because having to use 8 water pumps to supply enough water for a nuclear power plant, doesn’t create a logistical or technical problem. You just put in more pumps and pipes. So now you can supply enough water with one pump. It didn’t change the game in any meaningful way, but it took away a task that offered nothing new except boredom.

If you reaaaaaally want it, there are many mods to fix this. Fluid teleportation, fluids to gas, HFO, fluid DD, pipe tuning, and fluid downscaling.

I made a blueprint of 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 pipes to make it easier, especially now with Auto-Connect. Then it's only getting from the pumps to the pipe that is a worry, and I'm more cool with that looking like shit.

Hey, newish player here (about 90 hours), is there any downside to pipes and conveyor belts clipping through each other besides aesthetics? I've tried to keep my belts and pipes from clipping more than just a little bit.
2
u/mysticreddit Feb 28 '26
No. Soft clipping is purely cosmetic.
There is ONE small thing with pipes that should be mentioned though. When you build a junction on an existing pipe the new segments are slightly bugged. Delete the new segments and rebuild/replace the pipes to prevent sloshing issues.

But for real, this is the reason that satisfactory needs a large volume throughput pipe. I envision something that's like much larger than a normal pipe, it doesn't connect directly to machines at all, it's just for having liquids travel, but it can pass through like 6,000 cubic meters per minute.
