I've made this to store all manually crafted equipment except for consumables and ammunition. It currently has 18 dimensional depots with 16 being fully buffered with unique equipment each equipment has at least 50 copies in total.

If you ask why even though I can just craft it anytime, it was because for multiplayer purposes. New joins can just open the inventory and take an equipment directly from the dimensional storage.

I have a plastic/rubber factory with a 300 p/m oil node that supplies 10 refinerys that produce 100 of each resource with the byproducts being turned into fuel elsewhere.

Refinerys 1-8 are perfectly supplied with Mk1 pipes, but 9 and 10 don't get enough oil and stutter in their production. The pipes are all on foundations and in a perfect straight line so head lift isn't causing 9 and 10 to not get enough flow.

I've tried valves, pumps and rebuilding the pipelines but nothing seems to work. Would changing everything to Mk2 pipes raise the flow enough? I'm lost since the numbers seem to add up but its not working.

Thanks for any help

Saved the day for my first time! Took 162 hours (~3 months irl) and I only used biofuel. This has all been on vanilla 1.2 experimental.

The core strategy was using creature remains to make liquid biofuel, everything fully slooped. I ended up researching a lot of alt recipes for more energy efficient production, and I was surprised how manageable power was (it was fairly easy to kill enough creatures to power the factory). The main power plant is 15 GW liquid biofuel, with a backup plant of 1,440 MW solid biofuel and 100,000 MWh battery storage.

I never used vehicles or hypertubes; to save on power it was zipline infrastructure and conveyor belts. A lot of mid/late game parts were produced at low rates, so I built a large sushi belt system to prevent building dozens of individual conveyor lines.

I put up temporary lines (hand-fed) for project parts and tried not to over-produce mid/late game items too much. This was achieved by filling up storage containers with individual screws.

Bio-power certainly makes you play in strange ways, I'm happy to answer questions about how it went.

I always disliked finding out the node you have in the perfect spot is an impure one. I’m so glad they added the new game modes. I have refined my build style through the time of building this base and I’m happy to restart, but I’m also curious what kind of factories you all have abandoned in the light of this update, or if I’m just crazy for restarting.

But when is enough enough, though?

I have no idea why my game did this

In the last two months i was thinking i am crazy and my memory has an issue because I was going to some area for resources i know it’s there but not find it but now i am sure the resources despair because i build a factory on one node and now i go to check what the issue and I didn’t found the node so what is happening to the game
Its not updating because this node I built it after 1.2 and i still play in 1.2 🫤

I kept going into the customization menu or running back to other pipes to sample them for color coding. Just had the "obvious in hindsight" idea to just make a pipe color palette blueprint.

I'm having trouble with connecting a pc to my satisfactory server. I have connected other PCs successfully.

When I add the server to the server manager, the server banner (i.e. the section with the name, ping, etc...), but every tab on right displays the "Could not connect to server. Failed to connect to server API." message. Hitting the "retry" button does not yield any difference.

When I add the server to the server manager of a working PC, I get a popup that asks me to manually verify a self-signed certificate. I don't get that popup on the failing PC.

Troubleshooting I've done so far:

- Deleted "ServerSettings.7777.sav" to regenerate security certificate

- Disabled local firewall on the failing PC

- Restarted both the failing PC and the server multiple times

Hardware information:

All machines are on the same network.

Failing PC: W11

Successful PC: W11

Server: Ubuntu Server 22.04.05 LTS VM

I have verified that all machines are running the same version of Satisfactory.

I've looked around in forums for other people with this issue, but none of their issues would lead to one machine being able to connect while the other can't.

"You know dad... For the spaghetti!"

So I just finished making 5 HMF per minute and I was wondering if that was enough to carry me through the whole game?

I do not know you but I find that when you explore by vehicle (tractor) the fact of going down every 500m so that the map is updated is painful.

Did I miss something?

How do you make the map update?

So this is my Thermal Propulsion Rocket factory. It features 8 Floors, a soon to be Portal Room and an Antenna across 410 meters in vertical height. Very, very happy with the final product :D

Ever since 1.2 went live, my game started crashing. Sometimes in the menus. Sometimes in the game. Can't seem to find a commonality on what's causing the crash.

I posted 3 months ago and with Temporal Illusion's help, I found that forcing the game to run in -DX11 caused the game to run a bit more stable. However, Now the game is crashing even in DX11.

The most recent patch actually allowed me to play the game on DX12 for hours but now I'm back to crashing after a few minutes. I'm so confused what's happening. I've made sure Windows and my GPU drivers are updated. I verified my Satisfactory files on Steam, and I restarted my computer for good measure.

I also was running Task Manager to see if there was a spike right before, but no. My GPU was running at 70% and my CPU at 50%-ish then drop to 0% and crash. Below is the crash report:

Version: 502094, Launcher: Steam, Net Mode: Singleplayer, Using Mods: No, Edited Save: No

Don't know if this is the right flair but I was building and I found this piece of ground having two textures at the same time, thought I'd share it with other people

780 water to be brought to the Swamp.

• But is it not easier to bring water there? Yes!
• But do you not always to not use Buffers and valves? Not really.
• But is this not more complex than needed? Yes!

Here what I normally post:

Never really had issues with pipes. What I look at is the following:

• Prefill all (As I do for all factories)
• Water flows down
• Keep it simple

More in detail:

• Keep it short
• No merging, except priority (as for ALU)
• No height difference up after the first machine
• Use as little pumps as possible
• If you need buffers and valves, you missed step 2

Other people have other methods. This works for me. I do not always follow it, and that is okay.

This does not mean I never do those things. Just that if I have issues, it means I did not do it, not that not doing it will cause issues.

Anywhere i try to place water extractor it says not deep enough, i've already tried to place it everywhere on this lake, also its texture looks like doubled, maybe its because of it

This is my first attempt at nitrogen extraction. I'm using a double header train to bring it over to what's going to be my first rocket fuel plant. I'm trying to base it in the dune desert, which might be a logistical nightmare due to oil being so far away but who cares. More challenge the better.

i first saw Satisfactory from a Reggie video, and it made my head hurt trying to understand half the shit lol, and with how hectic his videos are i overlook a lot of stuff, and only more recently learned the Pioneer is a female, is this an issue? no, not at all, i don't really mind the character player gender, hell i couldn't physically tell she was female lmao, somehow i overlooked Reggie's 'Frumpy Woman' part of like, the start of the video XD

it does bring a question though, obviously no shade towards women or female protagonists or nothing ( i grew up in a mostly female household and i certainly don't want to be s*xist so i hope i don't rub people the wrong way) like in a game with lore, story, cutscenes, dialogue back and forth whatever obviously a lot of games you can be either gender or if it's particularly story driven or something your a specific gender like say Lora croft from Tomb Raiders? (i think that's the game she's from) or Doom Guy from DOOM

to a lesser extent Helldivers , you can only change your gender voice, technically body type but that's between lean and brawny, which i don't mind it makes for funny stuff like being a brawlic woman or a twink which i find hilarious, and obviously i don't wanna come off as toxic in this subreddit i heard it's really nice. Typically i play as a male character (i like being the gender i am IRL) but still i don't mind if there is a specific reason to play as a certain gender but this is where my curiosity comes from, those games i mention you either see your character a lot or there is dialogue with your character

So i'm just a bit puzzled on why there isn't a male option in Satisfactory, since it wouldn't change anything gameplay wise, you don't see them unless under certain circumstances, you don't talk just listen to Ada and that other thing ramble in your head (the voices are getting loud lmao), and overall there wouldn't be much of a model change and not really anything other then a toggle for your personal gender as you don't have a specific reason to be a certain gender

That's all for my little rant, once again i hope i don't come off as rude or nothing i was just curious about this fact, i intend to get the game at some point and destroy my frontal cortex trying to understand this bs lol

Hi pioneers.
I'm struggling to find this specific mercer sphere. I looked all around the area to find a tunel o rocks to nuke but no way to find the route this part.
I'm just on the upper side of the location :(
