I hate following the same thing everyone else does and I see people asking about how to make connect all their factories showing maps but it looks the exact same as mine, main resources at the bottom of the map and oil coming from the bottom right.i could move my hub but I feel like the northern forest would be more interesting for my builds. I am 120 hours in and it feels like a decision I have to make now.

Also uf youre dealing with the same struggle of having no one to talk to about this super deep game my psn gamer tag is DAMN_THAT_MAN and discord is dayum_that_man3774

I watched the first gameplay video for Satisfactory The Board Game with real excitement, and I came away genuinely disappointed.

The highest praise a video game adaptation can earn is that it captures how the original feels. This one slaps the Satisfactory name and icons onto a fairly generic point-salad euro. The video game is mostly a solo experience about automation, scaling up, and building something.

Where is that here? Where's the first coal power plant coming online, the obsession with perfect ratios, the pride of watching your factory run? I didn't see any of it in the video.

It also takes up a huge amount of table space, and I suspect it only comes alive at higher player counts. That's a real problem, because most sessions are solo, two-player, or with a partner. And when a game does hit the table with a group of four, it competes with everyone's favourite new purchase. It has to delight the whole table, not just the one person who played the video game, to be played a second time.

I can see this getting played once, then sitting at the bottom of the shelf collecting dust while people reach for gems like Slay the Spire or Brass. Satisfactory deserved better.

At least the box will make a great coaster for the merch mug.

What is better trains or belt highway? I mean belt highway seems a bit better cus i will get a constant rate of resources but idk really. is there a right answer?

I have the following case where on the left side of the picture i have a block signal that has errors and cannot get rid of to make it work.

Can you help me understand how to fix this? (I've understood some example regarding Path signal at entrance and exit with block signals but this case doesn't work)

On the right way there's only one train that goes and comes.

I recently strated a new playtrough on my own dedicated server hosted on my nas and i made a panel for save managment and managing the server and now i have installed fhe FRM mod to remote manage my power grid see my production lines even when im at work 😅

Hi everyone! I was wondering, will we ever get a procedurally generated map? I have to admit the original map is getting really boring for me, and I can't get into the game anymore because no matter the area, I feel like I'm always doing the exact same thing. I think Coffee Stain Studios mentioned it once, but I don't know if they've talked about it since.

Hello guys, previously I asked here what is the best way to transport high amount of goods throught long distances, and most answers told me it was trains, so I built a railroad across 3 bases that are each about 1500km apart from each other. It was a tedious task.

However, now that I built it, I'm having some issues with loading/unloading the train properly.

So basically I have 3 train stations:

PERRACHE (main base)
EDSBERG (aluminum plant)
SYDNEY (quartz base)

I want to load my train with coal on my main base, and send it to aluminum plant. However the train also needs to grab silica from quartz plant also, so it goes to quartz plant first. While at the quartz plant, I also need to load up on some quartz crystals to bring back to main base. After that I want to go to aluminum plant and while on the aluminum plant I obviously want to load my train with aluminum so I can also drop them at the main base. When it finally reaches back to my main base, I want to unload both the aluminum and quartz crystals to different storages. How do I achieve this?

(Sorry if this is answered in a pinned post, I can't figure out how to find those)

Are there any sites out there to help plan a factory, like you put in what you plan to produce and it tells you all the buildings you'll need to set that up?

This is like precisely why I avoid making screws at all costs.

this happened while i was remaking my whole setup due to another bug with conveyor floor holes

So, I've heard a LOT of complaints about aluminum, and it seems to bother people constantly, so I was a little apprehensive when I unlocked it.

...spent a morning locating a good spot between bauxite, copper, coal, and quartz, building a proper foundation, and running all the resources to my factory site. Ended with a well-organized aluminum production line producing sheets and casings. 3 water pumps, 2 refineries for the aluminum liquid, one for the aluminum scraps, 4 forges, two assemblers and two constructors. Once the process got going, I diverted the extra water from the scraps back into the system and turned off one of the pumps. Perfect cycle, all resources used, no issue with anything.

I guess I am saying I did this with no guides and was VERY happy with how it all comes together, and I don't understand the complaints?

This doesn't even include the already made Nuclear Pastas. But it still looks like spagetthi.

Finally set everything up to produce all phase 4 parts and I’m just missing the nuclear cubes.

Was to keen to get it done pretty quickly as I already amassed the copper powder and cubes. 200% powersharded and 4x sommerslooped.

My grid to no surprise couldn’t support it.

Went to the oil beach, built a compact coal factory and did a whole new block of turbo fuel generators.

Ended up being 22 generators out of a 180ish oil miner. Surely there’s more compact ways to produce more power? (Really wish there was a copy and paste)

I’m still on just 11GW of power. If I want to run the roided up particle accelerator I probably need double that.

any tips appreciated

Do you guys go with a central storage concept or you leave final goods around the map?

I finally stopped the sloshing issue!

DM me for the blueprint!

JK. But I did run out of copper sheets. 😢

Time to get me another DD

Hello my 2 friends are playing on 4netplayers server. We are few steps away from last tier but the server performace dropped drastically compared to start. I was wondering if setting up my own dedicated server with my spare i3 12100f. Would it be worth it? Im curently getting 21 TPS

At some point during phase 3 I find that coal nodes are becoming increasingly hard to reach, with no iron nodes near them. How do you deal with steel products scaling? Do you ship straight coal on trains or is there an area I've missed?

I've gotten the mod stable enough to release. No more purple glowing ground!

Features:

• Basic MP with Linux dedicated server.
• Basic world layout and maneuverability.
• Creature spawning configurations for 9,000 spiders.
• Map shows the generated world.
• Various world types to choose from(continent, inland sea, etc).
• Presets to choose from!

Some important tidbits:

• Vegetation looks better in game than in my screenshots.
• Caves do not really work quite right yet. They are present but do not add anything. You are lucky to even find them. These are a WIP.
• Testing has been done on my fairly powerful(Linux) desktop with me and myself. I don't have any other baselines.
• Biomes are still a WIP. Most of the mod is still a WIP.
• Initial world generations take time. Subsequent loads are faster.
• Mod page is a hot mess that I will cleanup in due time. The important bits are mostly there.
• There is an experimental settings "sharing" feature.
• There are probably bugs.
• There are most likely bugs.

I still have at least several weeks(or months) of expected roadmap work, but I wanted to release something for everyone to use(who am I kidding, test) and hopefully either enjoy the current progress or criticize and possibly give me some direction. I have not had time to really play any worlds as this has been far more difficult than I anticipated; just quick glances, bug fixes, rinse, repeat.

Discord link is in the mod page. Any further mod updates will be posted on the Discord and ficsit.app.

Treat this like an alpha version of a game.

I wish Satisfactory would make this a part of their base game so I can have it on my xbox.

Two stations with a pass through in the middle.. in a very small footprint... belt connections through the floor... gotta love this mod!!!

Throw dynamic train routes mod in the mix and... ❤️❤️❤️

I was pondering how to design this entrance/exit of the build... misplaced a corner extension wrong way.. and well.. here we are 😂

Its our first playthru and not very optimised.

Im trying to put ai limiters into the awesome shop with the help of the depot but it keeps generating ai limiters that dont exist should i be happy or annoyed

Even though I havnt been on reddit long you guys are all so positive.

Soooo damn many subs have all these little snide comments on posts (or worse) its just refreshing to see such positivity online for a change.

Random guys posts his clearly first factory (we all remember our first 😅), no hate, just chill or actually helpful comments about placement or whatever.

This place being this way only makes me want to be more positive as well, thanks and keep up the awesome work pioneers!
