My advise is to keep your beginner spaghetti mess and go somewhere else in the world to build cleaner looking factories. Then once you done that you can clean your original factory up. That way you still have your spaghetti factory making you stuff that you can then use to build all the things for your new factory.

Another tip is to cover your main manufacturing plants up with walls and roofs. This not only improves on the looks and makes the buildings more realistic, but it also heavely reduces lag created from lighting and moving parts on the conveyors. When a conveoyr is covered up, the animation is not loaded.

@TotalXclipse 4 жыл бұрын

Coffee stain noted in a live stream that the items are still rendered behind walls? I know that housing the conveyor buses in walls originally helped, but I wasn't sure after they said that the other day, I'll have to check it out. That being said, I do prefer housing the factories, problem is they're always growing :D

@DavidGuild 4 жыл бұрын

8:40 It's worth noting that the "vertical" mode often makes the pipes longer, increasing the resource cost slightly. Same with hypertubes. They do look very nice, though, so it's probably with it. The "conveyor 2D" mode allows the pipe to link at an angle instead of coming straight out. Say you have a junction that's just a bit too close to the machine. Unless everything lines up perfectly the default mode will give you a squiggly invalid-shape knot. That's because it need both ends to start out straight, and before they're allowed to bend they're past each other. Conveyor mode doesn't do this; it'll just give you a clean diagonal pipe directly from A to B.

@5353Jumper 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the great work. To add to some of the tips I would suggest: players make way more floor foundation than you think you will need. This gives you the emotional freedom to leave lots of space between production lines for future transportation and to neatly pass though a belt or two in the future. Once your factory is done it is so easy to delete any floor you did not use, much better than struggling to jump run through your base later trying to spaghetti in that extra belt.

Satisfactory giving players a 3-D take on building a well oiled machine has opened the floodgates for the amount of creative ways there are to solve a problem. The verticality aspect that comes naturally with a 3-D game is refreshing and lends itself to a near infinite number of ways to set up your factory to be hyper efficient, stylish or both. This next portion is my own personal story, you don't have to read it: I'm glad that you dedicated an entire tip to telling players to not just follow someone else's approach, but to instead improve upon the design or take inspiration from it. I made mention of verticality being a huge part of the game but I never really took advantage of that aspect when building my own factory. My first few attempts ended in an odd, inorganic feeling to my factory as I tried to hamfist that vertical component into my design. But in doing so I learned how to better take advantage of it in order to streamline my beginning factory. Eventually when I get to the point of building my mega/endgame factory, I'll be able to more effective integrate the vertical belts to create that stylish, hyper efficient factory. But until I reach that point (I just finished up tier 4 for the most part), I'll keep on experimenting with designs until I find one that I like :)

@TotalXclipse 4 жыл бұрын

Hey thanks for dropping by, You're right the 3-D perspective is both refreshing and challenging, and I do try my best to help people out but I worry people feel I'm trying to "tell them" how to play the game which is never my intention that's why I thought it so important to explain that people should be finding there own designs and improving on others, finding what's best for you will give yourself so much more appreciation when you find what works for you :) I hope that maybe once you've achieved the build, you'd share somescreenshots :)

@Sotanaht01 27 күн бұрын

5:50 I'm not much of a decorator, but I would actually recommend matching a power pole (or wall power if your build supports it) to every single factory building. You can include them in blueprints (I realize blueprints weren't a thing when this video came out). Usually, placing a pole very close to the power connection on the building looks pretty good, but you may have to look for a spot with clear sight lines to the cardinal directions, then you can essentially chain buildings to each other. And feeding into tip 20. I find more cables = more mess. That's part of why I recommend 1 pole per building. You can make the pole look like it belongs, but the more cables you have sticking out of it the harder it is to blend in. A tier 1 pole fits 4 lines. There are 4 cardinal directions. That means with tier 1 poles you can have 1 power line in each direction. You should almost never need more than that unless you are building something specifically in a star pattern.

Some of my tips: - You can jump higher, if you jump while you are sliding. - In the beginning, while getting the ore by hand, press tab and then you can release mouse and keyboard and the ore is still picked (excuse my bad english here) - Don't be in the tube while server restart. You fall out of the tube when back in game. Might be bad for you.... - While in a vehicle, don't run through berries and stuff. They get destroyed. But... If you run through plants, they are collected in the vehicle - Use the chainsaw not only to cut trees, but also plants are very nicely collected with the chainsaw - And mycelia is also located in some weird structures. Try to cut anything with the chainsaw. - Use P to watch into the very far distance. - If you get stuck in a tree, you don't need to respawn if you have explosives. But be healthy when you do it. - I use conveyer belts and the jetpack to fly fast around my factory. - Some caves have such a thin opening. You have to slide in. Specially in the dunes there is one. - You can see the spiders better in arachnoid mode. But it is less scary of course. - While crafting something by hand, you can use space. My cellphone is a practical device for doing that. - Feed the sink with 1 ticket.

I've just started satisfactory, a couple weeks ago, just began first steel productions and when I get home I'll be setting up concrete I-Beam, forget the actual name, production, and while I dont follow all these, I started with a spaghetti factory out in the open with now foundations, now, just before the first phase sent up I rebuilt everything and now I have large buildings for all production, the iron plant with all relative production, copper plant, limestone, the now unused biofuel power plant, coal plant, the new steel plant, and a couple small annexes for small things like plate and rotor production. Safe to say, the organized factories are far better than spaghetti

All your videos are super impressive. I've learned a hell of a lot on what to do and not to do. I'm stumped on how to upgrade "large" factories to the next tier, though. ATM, my factories are tier 3. Is the only way to upgrade to point, for example, with the tier 4 part at the tier 3 part? Thanks!

@TotalXclipse 2 жыл бұрын

Hmmm good question, perhaps I can do a video on it, but I'm stacked at the moment. my best suggestion would be to build a new factory dedicated to the particular materials as at this point I doubt you'll be using a lot of the resource nodes available in the world.

One tip I was hoping to see here was how you get the clean look when you need to route both conveyors and liquids. So far I'm able to stuff the pipes under glass but I have to raise up the conveyors and I want them underground.

A few minor questions: 1. How did you make the circular storage? 2. How did you create the curved glass foundation?

@DarthPoyner 4 жыл бұрын

1. He has a whole video on doing that. You can find it on his channel. 2. The glass foundation clips. So put down a curved or half pipe foundation and then put the glass on top of it. You can do some pretty nice designs with it once you get used to it.

@TotalXclipse 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for covering the answers! Storm, as he mentioned the glass foundations clip on the cruved foundations leaving that awesome look and there are quite a few videos on my channel that cover the circular storage system. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5l2oLeDyN3Hl6s.html

Ok, untill now I played "Let's Game It Out" style but am starting to build clean and eficient, so that was very helpfull. One honest question, though: what is a "bus"? I assume is something very common for native speakers but I was at a lost during the video. Also, the narrator sound very much alike Tan from Queer Eye. Loved it.

One way I hide my power lines is by... - Deleting necessary foundation/s under the machines - Run the lines straight down clipping through the machines BUT i mount them to the sides of the foundations using the wall outlets. - Replace deleted foundations - If machines are lined up correctly on top of the foundations, your power lines should be 100% hidden inside the foundations. Good for glass foundation builds over water

@aynonymos 2 жыл бұрын

You can avoid power poles on the floor by putting the wall plugs along the ceiling, I may have been a little excessive with this after I discovered it.

Ah, I didn't mention it in this video! - I do in others, but I do it by using the smaller 1x8m foundations and placing conveyors on there, then deleting that foundation to allow me to build another line above or below it, making it much more compact :)

I had always wished I could feed conveyer lifts through floors and ceilings. I didn't realize you can use the walkway tiles to do that.

@TotalXclipse 4 жыл бұрын

Yeh walkways work well like that :) although if you don't mind clipping you can clip elevators through foundations you just need to use a diagonal ramp - you have to place two to make it into a straight foundation.... You can actually see it in action at exactly 6 minutes into the video ;) the smelters are loaded through foundations.

@Stoney3K 3 жыл бұрын

@@TotalXclipse I've always had the "Clipping is OK if it's plausible" rule. So clipping lifts and pipes through floors is plausible enough because you could just cut a hole for them, but conveyors clipping through solid rock is not. As long as it looks like it's supposed to be there, it's OK.
