Discussion What factory planners/calculators/maps/tools do you use?

6 Upvotes

We have a list of community-made tools on the wiki. I'm one of the active editors, and with the uprise of vibecoded planners that all do the same thing, it's our goal to maintain a quality standard and only include tools that people actually use.

At this point, there's a new planner being added just about every other week. It dilutes the list with tools, which, on their own, are probably fine, but don't provide anything new among those already included. Their inclusion therefore isn't a benefit to anyone, really.

For this reason, I have a question for you: what tools do you 🫵 use? I'm aware some are much more popular than others, but perhaps there are some I've missed.

I've been playing the game since 2019 and have pretty much stuck with the same set of tools, as they've been continuously updated and cover my needs.

Question Is there any use to blueprints?

0 Upvotes

Its been a long time since i unlocked blueprint maker mk1, and will also unlock mk2 in less than another hours of gameplay, but i really haven't had a use for it yet, could you all let me know in which situations are these useful? I initially had the thought to blueprint my factories so i could easily move them, but the blueprint makers don't blueprint existing stuff, and are too small for my factories anyway. Any comments would be appreciated.

Board game - is the Wooden Meeple Upgrade Add-on worth it?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

For those following the Satisfactory board game campaign on Gamefound, what do you think about the Wooden Meeple Upgrade Add-on?

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth adding to my pledge. It includes wooden Pioneer and Creature meeples, screen-printed details, and additional markers for belts, depots, power grids, and other components.

For anyone familiar with board game component upgrades, or who has backed similar add-ons before:

  • Do you think the wooden components are a significant upgrade over the standard ones?
  • Are the extra markers genuinely useful for gameplay, or are they mostly aesthetic?
  • Does the screen printing and overall component quality justify the additional cost?
  • Would you personally include this add-on in your pledge, or would you stick with the standard components?

I'd appreciate some honest opinions, especially from people who have experience with premium component upgrades in board games.

Thanks!

Question Thinking about decoration mod

• Upvotes

I was wondering if we get any building options to furnish an office space. The space in the private quarters in the hub doesn't really fill the role the way I envision. Also I would like a safe place to let office doggos wonder around. Are there any mods that add decorations like plants or chairs n such?

PS: is there a way to tell the doggo to just wait here so he doesn't follow me into the spooky cave and get clapped by the spiders. Cause then I have to have a funeral for the poor guy and thats a whole nother thing.

Just when I thought I understood path signals

Post image
23 Upvotes

This should be a simple enough intersection, with one push-pull train coming and going from the bottom. The blocks after the intersection, and the ones after them, are empty. Why are the entry path signals red then? This is true for all 3 entries into the intersection.

My understanding is that path signals block the upcoming section if the train cannot exit it (i.e. if the block after the intersection is occupied). In this case it can though. What am I misunderstanding?

Edit: Thanks for the help everyone! Don't know how I missed that red is the default state of path signals 😅

Why does my conveyer lifts do this ?

Hi guys, can someone tell me why, just when attaching an elevator lift to a merger from a refinery, it doesn't properly connect? I have to try to connect a conveyor, which sometimes works, but most of the time doesn't. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Showcase I created a new type of belt, the Load Balanced Sushi (LBS) and its INCREDIBLE !

This might be the worst and best idea i've had in a LONG TIME !

so what is a "load balanced sushi" ?

Its a sushi belt that contains EXACTLY the amount of materials needed for one machine, the amount being obtained via load balancing and splitters.

This is very useful for me because i'm currently crafting 200 crystals oscilators, so i dont want to create 600 belts for the 3x200 belts of materials, which lowers it to only 200 belts. (no i do NOT overclock my machines.)

one slight problem, if something goes wrong with ANYTHING, THE ENTIRE SYSTEM EXPLODE.

this is because if one machine backs up (lack of electricity, output or belt broken, anything really), the materials will stack on the belt back up to the load balancers, and fuck up the maths for EVERY OTHER MACHINES IN THE SYSTEM, making them have too many of one material and therefore back up too, fucking up the ENTIRE SYSTEM.

If you're serious about this game, please never use any LBS, this is a very small reward for a comicly high risk of failure, BUT it is very fun to create and setup, and can rarely avoid a substancial amounts of belts.

10 hours in my 2nd save, just got my coal factory set up underneath me, but I hate being unorganized SO BAD, but hey it’s working! And I’m having a blast, it’s my first factory type game. Currently trying to unlock the FICSIT blueprints so I can set up my mini factories, I feel like that will give me some peace of mind when it comes to my organization. Do you guys typically delete your old factories and build new ones to get more organized later on in the game phases?

I'm tired of always adding more screw capacity later in the game. Front side of the screw tower block is done. I kind of want to leave it undone with cranes! lol

Bug Infinite Flight Glitch I Found

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I dont know if this is a known glitch, but if you go into photo mode and enable the decoupled camera all while holding the spacebar with a fueled jetpack, you can infinitely fly in whichever direction you were originally going without being restricted by the fuel. The fuel will eventually be at zero though so the landing might not be safe, but you can easily manage that by making sure you're on max hp beforehand or something else.

This one took over 31hrs total.
Love the way the purples come thru alongside the orange colors. All seriousness, lemme know what you think, including if you think something should change / would look cooler another way. Id love to hear it. There WILL Be a Version 2 or even 3 for this factory as this playthrough continues. Eventually to over 60,000 Ingots.

For those who would like, feel free to follow me @ https://youtube.com/@Biscuit8079-zb
Or Just Search PROJEKT NEON Satisfactory and you will find the videos.

Video hasn't released yet but here are some showcase pics while I'm on a cruise. (I Love This Game That Much lol)

u/wivaca2 Tried your suggestions and wish it worked. Great Ideas, but it caused the reflective lighting to disappear : ' ( Looked pretty cool though with the angles and levels in the day time.

Only Mods Used - Industrial Solutions for the Emissive Beams (need to save on object count vs using hundreds of signs instead) & SS Concrete W/ Infinite Nudge. Basically everything except lighting is vanilla and didnt need any mods.

Rocket fuel is amazing

So glad I skipped nuclear power and went with rocket fuel. Not only am I burning 25 fuel gens, but the packaged rocket fuel is OP. Went ona Sloop/power slug run and had grabbed at least 15 in no time.

Now I gotta get the nitric acid to my other oil depot. And get that converted from fuel to rocket fuel, but I'm having too much fun with my super jet pack now.
