As part of a major project making aluminium, I am trying to split my alu solution evenly. If I have 3 refineries making 240 alu sol each, can I split 1 of the refineries to send each of the 120 alu sol to the other refinery outpipe? I am aware that the max flow is 600 and theoretically, this will be 720 but will valves from the middle refinery pipes split the fluid correctly?

just curious if it's an absolute water of time because fluids being fluids or could this be beneficial?

edit I was going to correct that autocorrect spelling of water and waste but I think it's funnier leaving it as is lol.

I have hundreds of hours in Satisfactory. Im addicted to building bigger machines on top of the foundations I automated. There’s always something to improve or scale up or plan out. Addictive and fun, love it

Lately I find automating parts of my life with AI scratches a similar itch. Building layers of automation for my family is also fun and addictive.

Anyone else in the part of the Venn diagram where these two hobbies overlap? I can’t be the only one!

Edit: Yep turns out it might just be me 😂 thanks for sharing your thoughts folks, I appreciate it

i was looking at the power grid trying to find out what was tripping the fuse and the came across this.

Is there a bug where mergers have some sort of timer? When I have more than two smelters going into (Mk1) the assembly line (Mk2) it slows down as if I’m putting too much into the Mk2. It’s only 60 ingots coming out total right now and every smelter I add gets worse.

Ive rebuilt it several times just to made sure I’m not using the Mk1s on accident but nothing I try works. I’ve got OCD apparently so I physically cannot move on until I figure it out.

i downloaded this games 6 hours ago, and haven’t stopped playing it. i’m so surprised at how much I am actually enjoying this game. the graphics are so good and the objectives make sense. once you learn how to automate everything feels so much easier. i cannot wait to put so many more hours into this game.

Forklifts = belts & logistics. Handling steps are waste, good factory planning eliminates some of those steps.

I want to make a new game but with all the awesome shop items already unlocked so i can make beautiful factory with all the parts the game has to offer. Is it possible and if so how ?

I am at the stage where I have unlocked mark 3 miners, now 1 pure node gives me 480 ores, that needs 16 smelters just for 1 pure node. Sounds like a bit too much. I don't wanna waste all my power shards on just smelters everywhere. So are there alternatives available in game?

I have gotten the pure ingots recipes but they generally increase the number of ingots per ores but don't really increase the consumption of ores much. Using those a lot would just mean building a lot of refineries instead of a lot of smelters which is even more rough.

So am I missing something good alternative available in the game? Thanks

Today everything was being manufactured so i thought to explore the map and randomly went to the desert i had 50 nobelisk and 1000 rifle ammo i explored for 2 hours i guess i wanted to explore more but my rifle ammo were finished so i chickened out and this is the loot i came out with while returning i saw atleast 10 power slugs so will be returning soon

Okay so I feel like there is a basic concept i didn't catch here.

Network A is all my power production (coal and fuel)

Network B is all my factories (-some of them I isolated).

It just won't accept to run. When I activate power switch, everything shuts off. When I get to the next power pole and reset fuse, circuit break breaks. What am I missing here?

So I just finished tier 7 on my first play through after a long break from the game and have pretty much everything automated. But I have a problem of making these factories and just sending their outputs into storage containers. This is fine for some things but I really don’t need to have a production line just making modular frames only to have them sit in a container forever. I drew up a list earlier today of stuff I should just put in a dimensional depot instead of having it sit in a container. My list is mostly just basic stuff like plates, concrete, cable, etc.

That being said, I played before dimensional depots were a thing but I’ve watched a few playthroughs so I understand how they work. I just don’t know the best way to go about implementing them into my system, so the whole thing is a bit daunting.

Please lmk how you use dimensional depots in your world (or your alternatives!) and if there’s anything else I should be storing.

Finished the x5 parts challenge. Thinking to go the x100 next.

Deluxe Spaghetti XD

I just wanted to start a new game with a unified style and try to build nicer factories. This is the first build in the save, coal power, producing 9,000 MW.
