What are your best tips when planning out a factory in Satisfactory?

It is to achieve perfect optimization of all machines to produce at least one part of each final item, without any waste to be crushed.

Always underclock your machines and also build waaaaay more than you need. Then when it comes to upgrading production you’ve already accommodated for the space😊

@PSChrisDC 8 ай бұрын

I always underclock for mk3 miner (200% or 250% overclocked) later. After upgrading the miner, i just change the clock speed. I sometimes mess up with the belts/pipes as they become to slow even with mk5 Belt :/

@Trimonu 8 ай бұрын

Why underclock?

@bobboulden 8 ай бұрын

@Trimonu So I've never actually done what they're describing but I think I know why. Early on in the game you're limited by how many items can fit on a belt. You also don't have access to MK2 miners, so the amount of ore you can get out of a node is limited. Here's an example: Let's say you have a pure iron node. A MK1 miner can extract 120 ore per minute, which is the same amount that a MK2 belt can carry. The intuitive solution is to build 4 smelters, each smelting 30 iron ore per minute. However, it won't be too long until you get access to MK2 miners and MK3 belts, which can extract 240 ore per minute (270 ore can fit on the belt if you want to overclock the miner, but let's ignore that). Now you want 8 smelters because you have twice as much ore. But you might not have room for 4 more smelters next to the 4 you built earlier. You could overclock all 4 smelters, but overclocking adds up fast and you could run out of power shards. Instead, you build 8 smelters in the early game, and underclock all of them to 50% until you unlock the better miners. Then you bring all 8 smelters back up to 100% and upgrade the belts to MK3.

Good stuff! Something I have a tendency to struggle with is planning production for MASS assembly lines. The math itself isn't difficult - Satisfactory Calculator makes it rather trivial - but when you're tasking yourself to make a walkable factory building for TITANIC production lines... It can get rather... let's say "challenging". I'll just take the numbers from my last Modular Frame build as an example: 80 smelters (iron ingots), 32 + 56 + 50 constructors (plates + iron wire + rods respectively), and 34 + 62 assemblers (reinforced plates + frames respectively). I managed to put together something that works, but I won't lie and say it's something I'm entirely proud of. I tried going for this sort of Aperture Science kinda vibe where I have stacks of blueprints spaced apart with a walkway snaking between them, at least for the section containing the assemblers and rod constructors. The rest is more brutalist hallways using signs with warm white as illumination (first build I made with Lumen!). I also didn't have very much horizontal room to work with, so I ended up going for verticality. The second half of the building feels so damn tall I'm pretty sure it could have its own weather patterns! Haven't even TRIED decorating the outside of it yet because it's basically just a collection of MASSIVE flat concrete walls! Anyway, I'd love to see how you tackle such a challenge. I suppose it falls into the category of mega-factory, but for a single assembly line and built atop a pair of pure iron nodes (the ones in the rocky dessert near the lake to be specific). I worked with the assumption that, at some point in the future, I could extract a total of 2400 ore per minute out of them. That way I know that the only modification I'd have to make is upgrading the miners and overclocking them.

@donaldpetersen2382 8 ай бұрын

My current challenge is to create everything in lumen lit tunnels. I normally scale everything into vertical towers so I look forwards to having a satisfying horizontal factory industrial park.

@MrDarvis69 8 ай бұрын

I love planning out factories, it is actually rare that I build one without sketching it out on paper first. I can offer a few tips to people. A common mistake is focusing only on the machine layouts. if you do that you end up with a cramp space that is really hard to navigate if you ever need to go in and adjust or upgrade the system. Another tip is choose an expansion direction for your factory and keep it cleared of any other things like roads or train lines. Expanding in a haphazard way can quickly become a nightmare when you need to get inside but having a designated expansion zone helps keep it orderly. A final tip for planned factories is break the structure up into zones. Receiving/shipping, distribution, production, assembly, and warehouse. In this context distribution is local, within the factory, pulling the received materials from the warehouse and distributing them to the various production lines. Production and assembly are separate things, with production dealing with turning raw materials into something and assembly being manufactured items being turned into more complex items.

Mega factory tip video would be appreciated. In particular I find lately that I’m having trouble planning out how to bring logistics and (stairwell) access to each floor vertically, especially when I’m using blueprint modules to create multi-level factories (not necessarily mega factories.. but concepts would be shared between factory styles)

@strengin1 8 ай бұрын

Bit more context for what I’m trying to do.. I’ve been creating 4mx8m wall segments (for easy snapping or hot swapping pieces) in different architectural styles so that I can easily build mini skyscrapers that have production of only one or two items per floor. I struggle with how to cleanly incorporate stairwells and conveyor lifts into this type of build.

@kjetilknyttnev3702 7 ай бұрын

The "easy" step upgrade for beginners -both to save space and to make it look much cleaner -is the add a logistics room under all the production units for belts and elevators. It takes a lot of time at first -when figuring out how to connect everything, but once you get the hang of it, its not that bad. Add 2x2 walkway space in both logicstics room and around each blueprint, and you end up with both space to connect belts, but also to style your factory into rooms or make walkways, ladders and railings alter. I even add another empty room under all that in my blueprints! It always comes in handy, for just connecting tunnels, space to work, or to add future belts and resources to upgrader machines built on top of the first layer! Personally I make use of this for 2-4 bus rows for easy access to the entire production line and future production too. It'll take you another 15 minutes with each blueprint -but once its done, you are set up "for life", instead of having to go back later and redo entire floors to clean up earlier mess.

I see the thoughts behind planning everything in advance and than pre-building everything in the Blueprint Designer. But, as I see it, that only shifts the amount of time needed for building from actual working on the factory to working with the Blueprint Designer. So far, the best way for me is to habe a standard design in the Designer and changing the Outflow individually to the desired product. But I do not really care about optics, so it is quite a lazy approach.

@Raclex13 8 ай бұрын

So my question is, you've got this motor factory up and running. But now you want to make modular Engines. Do you build a whole new factory just for that, or do you take some or all of the output of your motor factory to use in the modular engine factory? And if you do the latter, are you then building the modular engine factory nearby, or are you moving the motors via truck or train to some far off location?

@Homarid1 8 ай бұрын

This is where I stalled on my last playthrough. Obviously this will be different for each person, but I see a lot of youtubers do the latter. They make a factory that is large and then ship materials via train/truck to where they want stuff to be.

The only limitation is that you can’t bridge from inside to outside. Blew my mind watching him make way bigger designs than the space would seem to suggest.

Hello Total, don't know if you have any pearls of wisdom on this question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway. I use Satisfactory Tools to plan, what I want to produce per node, how many smelters, constructors etc. So I know what I want to build and what I need. But the one issue I "always" run into, I have a location where I want to build, but end up standing around, looking at the space from all angles for hours, days in game and can't figure out "how" I want to do this. 2 floors, 3 floors, where am I going to place which machines, how am I going to build the surrounding factories that will link up with this one, how am I going to link them, where am I going to put the storage, where am I going to bring in the train.... I get overwhelmed, I basically trying to plan seventy steps ahead so that I don't have to dismantle and rebuild the entire thing a couple of times over. So end up standing there for hours and then quite without having done a single thing because I can't decide where to start. I hope you understand what I am talking about and have some insight and knowledge to share. You/your videos are my go to if I want new insperation or a refresher after a long btreak, but this is a constant issue I have from the very beggining. Hoping to hear from you. Keep up the excellent work.

@vadimnelidov7591 8 ай бұрын

As much as I like blueprints for things like roads, walls and roofs, I must say I often find them counterproductive for my inner factory designs unless they are already designed with lots of additional walking space and attention to detail. Otherwise you just end up with dense and similar looking machinery that looks uninspiring and tedious to further organize and decorate

My biggest issue i have building a factory is, how high should i place the foundations above the ground, and still make it look like it is part of the terrain.

@probablypragmatic6893 8 ай бұрын

I always pick a high-ish spot and then drag a foundation to the nearest "higher than that" spot. That tells me about how big I can go at any given height. If you go high enough you can build little "maintenance" hallways beneath the factory without having a gravity defying floor plan. You just wall off the raised bits so it looks like a properly intertwined and confusing sub-city system
