Definitely!

People who did these elaborate things have spent many many hours on them

@@BLAndrew575- seriously, i have 600+ hours worth of building and hundreds of hours off game worth of calculations just to build a single turbofuel powerplant for 250k watts, that's before decorating it nicely. i literally skipped trains and do all my transport by conveyors or drones simply because they require less brain power even though they're more resource intensive. tl;dr i have over 1000 hours on the game and i am blown away by the sheer patience, creativity, and efficiency of my fellow ficsit employees

It's an honor to have CSS use this save to help optimized the game for everyone. I just really really enjoy the challenge that comes with massive builds. If it helps them and everyone, that's just the most amazing honor. Glad you enjoyed!

@@BLAndrew575- is the map downloadable? Or is it just for CSS?

It doesn’t😂 friend and i had to stop cause server sad no

​@@luplex7567 Multiplayer servers are WIP and weak. They say it when you create one. The save shown in the video is probably single player which is different

YES THE CLAP

“Hands” down 😂😂😂

The Ficsit cam mod does wonders for video recording!

I just wanted to give an update out other than twitter or twitch! XD This save is specific to Twitch only for now. Eventually I will put out another tour video like this but with the save file accessible for everyone!

BEST comment LOL

Or a dystopian future where there is only one rich man alive and own the whole planet, but it would not be too bad because im already dead.

It mainly was a challenge by the devs to make that many a minute lol When I calculated how many screws I needed, it came to 68,800, so of course I had to adjust it to meet that goal XD

And not only that, it looks amazing too!! ;)

Absolutely! The fact the save can run 40-50fps average and be 6x over the entity limit shows just how well they have optimized Satisfactory!

Thank you my dude!!!!

Thanks so much!! :)

This is some insane amount of planning and artistic skill. I dread to think of how many hours they spent on breaking it down and rebuilding it every time.

@@alexanderbeardsley5465 There was about a solid month of planning that went into the HMF factory before even a single foundation was laid. As for the rest of it, it was pretty much as I went. This playthrough is just over 2600hrs now and done all on my live stream only(I wont work on it outside so the viewers can see every step) I have over 10k hours in Satisfactory now and coming up on 5 years playing it and have come such a long way from spaghetti builds! I just truly love the building aspect combined with functional factories and cant get enough!

Trust me, the build limit is more of a guideline than a true limit. (Can alter one file to never have a limit again) BUT building beyond that limit you are subject to lowering fps, long save/load times, and taxing the game engine before your hardware even gets hot. I say build to your hearts content and go nuts! Cant know what our limits are until we push them a bit! But one thing I can say without a doubt, the engine limit unaltered, is pretty beefy and difficult to reach. This save is roughly 3x over it.

Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed! I truly love this game but what makes it truly unique is the community around it. My viewers inspire me to always push my builds and what I can do even when creating videos. :)

Glad you enjoyed! It can be tough leaving space for late game stuff! Even after 9000hrs in the game and 4 years, I still feel like I never leave enough room! Only once I get to the end of a build do I realize I need to move something!

One day you will! I build really big factories, some of which are the largest ever built in game. Because of that, its nothing to spend months on one factory, but what really keeps me engaged and hooked on a project is streaming it. The Satisfactory community is absolutely amazing, supportive, highly knowledgeable, and SUPER fun to engage with. But Ficsit for sure hasn't stranded me on that planet forcing me to build factories!

Thanks so much! I do also love the factorio belting like that! So satisfying to see all of them moving with items!

Believe me, I know exactly what you are saying XD This is like my 7th playthrough and certainly the cleanest lol

I'm sorry it made you cry! Hopefully it was tears of joy! 😊

I dont have one all in one place but for each factory separately, I am still finalizing the HMF one but my 2500 fuel plant flow chart is available on my twitch page just to the right side of my bio. labeled "Largest fuel plant" :)

The power plant is easily the most laggy part. If you look at the pipes that feed the 2500 generators, it sets at less than 10fps. But before update 6, this save was running 7fps everywhere. Now its usually 40-60fps depending on where you are. They have been able to heavily optimize the game using this save. I had to have one scene showing some lag as I didnt want to make it seem like it always ran perfect, there is a downside to building massive things unfortunately :)

Absolutely one day it will be available! I just can't release it yet, plus there are a lot of major factories planned so lots more to come!

Just one step at a time with very detailed flow charts to keep me on track :)

Its like that! We all started with spaget!

Crazy is what I do best!

Thanks! I try to keep it clean! (You should have seen some of my few first spaghetti factories years ago!)

It still maintains 20-50fps area depending but Ficsit Cam does wonders lol

@@BLAndrew575- Ficsit cam for the win

Oh the struggle is real. The HMF building you see in there had to be completely resized once I got the factory functional and all the floors built. I had to add on 2x4 foundations to make the outside design work. The struggle of making everything look symmetrical and complete is often overlooked with videos like this. I easily spent over 100hrs reworking that building alone. The fuel plant of 2500 fuel generators also had quite the rework once it was complete. So don't worry, it happens to all of us :) My go to plan for builds this large is make it functional, then make it clean/pretty.

Thanks!!! And I am roughly 6x over the entity limit so I hit it years ago! This is currently the largest save the devs are aware of. :)

​@@BLAndrew575-Wow that is nuts. I just got into the game and destroyed two work days. Played from 2100-0600 😭 I just kind of am about to get the vasic recipies down but remembered its not only the production amount of each step but also yoj have to take into accoubt each Assembelr/faundry etc build time before it actuallh needs more stuff?

Oh it lags pretty heavily lol 20-40ps but that's the price you pay for builds this massive. But my lag is coming from overloading the game engine. My hardware isn't even stressed 50% and I'm at 7x the build limit. But the video is 60fps because I use the ficsit cam mod to record. It's the only way to get recordings at a decent fps. No matter how bad or low the frame rate is, it always outputs video in 4k 60fps. I use it for all my recordings! 😊

I have no way to know how much for sure, but before update 6, save times were around 11 minutes. After that, they shortened to just 3 minutes, but it still adds up. But also keep in mind save times aren't logged when the game is saving so the total time is playtime. But now you've got me wondering how many hours this save has spent just saving. Has to be 300-500hrs at least once the 3 years I've been in this save lol

@@BLAndrew575- I was only jokingly referring to the crazy save times of this game and definitely not trying to say you didn't put in 2300 hours. But damn... 11 minutes is rough! Never been over a minute my self and that felt awful

XD I got ya! I have another save file that is over 200mb in size and takes over two hours... yes... two hours to save! Lol it broke several records, and the final output was sparkly fireworks with nearly 500 mk5 belts. It also broke CSS's server when they tried to analyze and none of their computers could run it as you need I've 128gb of ram just to load in lol

It is large enough that the engine is the bottleneck so my PC doesn't even use 50% of its power even in 4K XD

I've actually only tapped about half the worlds supply XD Getting there! Nuclear is up next and its gonna take a whole lot!

Happy to answer! I've found laying out the first floor and building a platform for it is a good place to start, often doing that can give a building a more unique shape too. For the HMF building I just started with a rectangle that was 83x113 foundations. Basically just enough space for the 630 refineries needed so I knew all the other floors were big enough for the rest. I also don't do the detail until the factory is functional and in this, extended the size to 117x87 and added over 2.5 million concrete worth. I do plan those kinds of builds out using my own flowcharts I make on appdiagrams.net often times months in advance. (Ratios, belts needed, basic layouts if belts need merged or split primarily) The HMF took over 100hrs of planning. But as for how far out I plan, typically a year in advance. Like I know what major things I'll be doing that year. But the finer details I plan as I need them. Like after the power plant I knew i would tackle max aluminum, HMF or nuclear then determined which I needed first. Can always switch them around if needed too. Even though I plan most of it out ahead of time, most stuff I leave for the moment I'm building it to figure it out. Like how to layout 555 foundries to make 33,300 steel ingots. That would be immense to plan out every detail beforehand. One of the things I've found better to just figure out as I build. But most of everything shown was built one piece at a time as I was finishing the last bit of the heavy frames as blueprints dropped. For me the building aspect is my favorite part so even needing 50k water and running all the pipes I still found immensely fun and challenging. Hope that helps!
