I realized that two weeks ago, September 10th, marks two years since Satisfactory’s 1.0 release! A lot of folks started brand new saves then. I myself dusted off my very first save then and actually completed Project Assembly for the first time.

I’m curious how your new 1.0 factories have developed, and if you’re still working on them. Have you finished Project Assembly and concluded your Pioneer’s purpose? Have you kept playing after that, in the same world or in a new one?

I’ve been thinking a lot about what my new purpose is as a Pioneer post-Project-Assembly. Space elevator parts just go into the AWESOME Sink and I’ve bought my Golden Nut. Optimizing factories is always satisfying but I’ve been struggling with what to do with my old and venerable save now. Tell me what you’ve been up to!

P.S. I know this Lemmy account of mine has been dormant, but that’s just because I’ve been active on another account (@cosmicrose@lemmy.blahaj.zone). I do like to check in frequently, and I deeply appreciate @scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech’s moderator work as well! Thank you all for being a part of this community ❤️

Sounds like it will be a paid addition? They always said DLC would come after 1.0

Slime molds are my inspiration.

They scale just fine. Plus, they have no ongoing fuel or electricity costs.

Need some vibes? Missing your factory? Chill with this while you work today.

And try not to think about that thing you forgot to finish in your factory

Hi. With 1.2 out I’m considering another foray into the game.

Has anyone tried playing with randomized nodes? Curious to hear your experience and what settings you went with.

I’m wondering if it would end up being just a wild amount of transit logistics to get things where they need to be. But … maybe that’s okay?

+ Much smaller version that uses Display Signs; less expensive to build in early-to-midgame (Quartz + Plates, vs Billboards needing Crystal Osc. + Encased Beams)

Plus, rain is back, and playing on controller will be easier now too.

If you want to try it 1.2 on Experimental

Note that Experimental means NOT STABLE, expect bugs and issues. If you don't like that, stay on the standard stable branch.

Before Switching, BACK UP YOUR SAVES. Saves are incompatible with previous versions so you will not be able to go back, and additionally as with any unstable product it can corrupt your saves.

BACKUP YOUR SAVES

I'm only 60 hours in, but i just found out that multiple generators connected to a power pole increases its capacity - i assumed poles were capped at 75Watts.

Found this out after bringing over a whole bunch of power poles from one side of the map to my oil factories im building.

Then found out coal generators can run on petroleum coke and i didnt need to bring power over from my coal factories.

Dam i love this game lol

This should solve my power for a while. Turbofuel is really nice. Clean burning, too!

Pro tip: Power shards increase power consumption exponentially for machines, but linearly for generators. That means that a generator at 250% overclock is exactly the same as 2.5 generators at 100%. This saves a lot of space with turbofuel. In the bottom right you'll see 25 generators. Without overclocking I would've needed 63 of them. I have been judicious with my power shards, so this was nice.

I was really satisfied with this picture. You can see pretty much all of the build in one shot The only thing you can't see is the sulfur extraction.

Oops.

Aethus is "Satisfactory through the eyes of Diablo", in the eyes of this critic, who has now been turned into plant food.

I'm grinding the phases (new to the game) and I've been spending so much time making sure every build is neat and looking how I want it - but seeing the new stuff I'm unlocking, I've got the feeling that I shouldn't have tried so hard coz I'm probs gonna have to upgrade everything.

Is the the loop of the game to rebuild once I've unlocked better versions of smelters etc or am I playing it wrong?

I'm really surprised there doesn't seem to be a modded (or vanilla) splitter that lets you set the output ratio for each side. I saw one that lets you configure the rate of output, but I'm not sure if it's updated. Regardless, a simple thing like "this side gets 1, this side gets 3, this side gets 0" would be so useful for building manifolds that don't take forever to balance and other stuff.
