or he had some remote thing he only needed a little of and just chucked down some biomass burners and the idle power draw just now depleted them

personally i like having 2 grids. 1 that feed the power supply like coal miners ,water pumps. oil rigs etc so everything dont run out incase of a power surge elsewhere in the system. also i dont demolish old coal power plant after switching to better power sources. i just shut them down with a few large storages of coal ready incase i need to jumpstart the system.

The factory is an eldritch monster, so old and massive that entire power grids have been forgotten

Well, every power switch technically creates a separate power grid, and *Kibitz* uses them a lot.

I've done the math and this is the best use of Bauxite without sacrificing quartz which is a lot more rare in the grand scheme of things

@@ImKibitz I really wonder why they made quartz so rare in satisfactory. It's ultra common irl, and an extremely useful resource. Game balance reasons probably, but it feels weird to me...

I would probably use petroleum coke but i guess he wants to save some oil?

@@felixcaskey4193 considering what they did to nuclear, i wouldn't sweat inaccuracy with quartz.

​@@felixcaskey4193 well it is on a different planet, so the formation may be a bit different too

He also suggested making it Brutalist would be nice to look at, which is horrifying. I think he's doing it on purpose.

@@scragar Brutalist is amazing. Different strokes for different folks.

Keep in mind what is beautiful to the shareholders may not be for the general masses.

u made my day

@@nokosa Brutalist architecture is nice to look at, terrible to live in.

This, or just feed a few refineries from the waste water only and match the production of water with consumption.

@@vargyassoma7733 Yes, I run two separate refinery sections. One is fed strictly from external water, and one is fed exclusively from internal waste water. This prevents external water from clogging up the internal waste water and preventing the waste water from being consumed. Don't mix external liquid with internal waste liquid. Always have a dedicated section for handling any waste liquid, so it can always get consumed.

Exactly right, getting the priority fluid mergers right solves the issue in all cases. This is achieved by orienting the cross vertically, and feeding the waste water into the BOTTOM input of the cross. Note that if the the 'main' water supply has too much head it can override this priority behavior

Exactly. I need to be building these big projects. Instead I look at them being produced in minutes instead of hours on YT. Thanks Kibz

Quite bingable

Dont worry. That will be next video. Title: Can we fix this nuke powerplant ?

@@firefly2472 again

I predicted it muhahah

@@matthewranda1167 oh don't worry. It will happen again. Probably.

I would advise against using valves as they fluctuate in flow even when set to max. Better to use an unpowered Mk.1 pump to prevent backflow, as it does not fluctuate the flow like a valve, but it does reset the headlift to 0 when unpowered.

@@Jaaku2557 Fair enough. I pipe underneath so the 0 headlift wouldn't work. Adding the valve reducing input from waterpump to 79 and a valve on output of of aluminum scrap to direct flow fixed my problem. If i sink overflow scrap my machines don't backup anymore. You can also redirect the output water to wet concrete or steamed sheets.

I think he's using almost all of the Bauxite in the world to make the Aluminum Casings, and only a tiny amount off to the side to make Alclad Aluminum Sheets. He doesn't need a high supply of Alclad Aluminum Sheets because they aren't input to anything - Sheets are only used for placing belts. But I don't think he is using all of the Casings for Batteries, he presumably has enough remaining Casings for other uses.

The limiting resource on batteries is sulphur to begin with (by a good 30% at minimum), plenty of which is already going into nuclear power, so there's got to be plenty left over.

@@jasam01 I hope there’s going to be a good amount left over because I know he will want to make a lot of nuclear pasta and that requires modular frames.

@@zacherykienle8628 You can literally use every drop of sulpher in the world on batterys and have 30% of ya aluminium left. That said, the sulphur/batteries themselves can be issues, since they go into elevator parts.

Port Hanshan is super cozy, though. Just watching the harsh blizzard outside while you're inside listening to the synthy ME1 soundtrack is so relaxing.

yes,brother.yes.

Eveeyone can do this ...just need patience and practice ..these players play these kind of games daily ....and have +300hrs on them ....with practice u can do it too

Not in our dialect!

Yep! That is the global standard name according to IUPAC, the people that make the standards on how to name chemicals and elements. Aluminium is right and proper, Aluminum is just a lazy Americanism, the only nations on Earth who drop a letter are Canada and the USA.

@@Avetho Strangely, the guy who named it "aluminum" also named potassium and sodium. Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.

@@ChristopherBogs I was today years old when I learned this, thanks! Interesting story if you read up on Sir Humphry Davy. Who would've thunk that in this case, it was the British who changed and messed with the original spelling (which made sense being derived from Alumina salt - alum being Latin for "bitter salt")

For update 6 itself you can continue from update 5 since nothing breaks factory or recipe wise, but make sure you dont have anything in the northern spire coast section unless you want it buried in terrain from the map changes.

Mods will all break, but non-modded stuff swaps over almost seemlessly. You might end up with factory underground if you build in the far north, and any basic ammo factorys break (they removed beacons from most recipies).

While having that as an in-game option would be cool and I'm all for, I'm circumventing by making a template start save. All recipes unlocked, all HDs collected (there are a few extras in case they add future alt-recipes to unlock), an elevated train that goes around entire map, a fuel power plant + a coal power plant pushing roughly 64 GW and a central storage dump not far from the train line. Once I have the save to that spec (I'm not too far from that point) I'll make a copy and call it something like "AdvancedStart_Upd#" and use it when I want a fresh start so to speak without having to go through and unlock everything plus having a decent amount of mats to start building with right away. Might also make a different version of it minus the train, power and mat surplus and just a full backpack of all suit/weapon upgrades, 1 stack of each ammo/nobelisk type, and things you wouldn't want destroyed like leftover HDs, powershards, etc.

If you're wanting something close to Creative mode Satisfactory has mod support. "Satisfactory Mod Manager" is one of the apps, one that I use. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more than a few others. You can get anything from cheat recipes that cost nothing to make items, as well as machines that will output whatever items from nothing, so production from nothing. That, plus things like easy map (unlocking it at tier 1, no MAM needed) and everything, basically a creative mode. Wouldn't be surprised if there's other mods that allow you to fly and do other things too like buildings cost no resources, I haven't looked that far into it though, I just know about the stuff mentioned before. I will mention though, any mods that add actual blocks/machines, are all subject to be thanosed if the developer of the mod doesn't keep up with the updates on the game. Can also make it awkward on the first few days/weeks after the update if you make your whole base out of modded blocks (hope you have a parachute).

@@MonkeNeuronActivated Yep. I already use those mods. But i would really like an "official" way to do that

@@oustikette735 The downside to them adding things like creative mode natively, is they would then have to spend time bugfixing/tweaking that to be better, while also developing the base game, so both would overall be slower. Also I didn't see the 'as some fan mods do' line, so I didn't know if you knew about them.

When you don't have an active power pole within a short radius of you, you cannot fly, that is why he's using a jetpack. Jetpack don't care where you are. Jetpack go up. Jetpack bueno.

Just hotbar all the different foundation types and never go into the menu again.

@@nokosa depending on how you prefer to use the systems. To hotbar everything or to use the quick wheel. I’m kind of a mix of everything. Depends on the system I’m trying to build. The center mouse click is my most used tool I think.

So long as you're not on an actual potato, the game handles lag relatively well. I will say, if your graphics card can get hot in games, it will get hot in this one, I have the side panel off my case, and a big fan on full blast into the heatsink of the GPU. Rx 590, runs at 65C, the start menu runs hotter than the actual tame. Definitely a space heater lmao. As for replayability, there is some amount if you're the kind that enjoys trying alternate ideas next time, also your first playthrough will definitely take quite some time anyways. If that's not enough for you, the game has a pretty big library of mods. "Satisfactory Mod manager" is a thing I use, wouldn't be surprised if there's more than just that app though. Everything from adding alternate resources, randomizing purities of nodes, making recipes harder, and a bunch of other things, I'm sure you could find something to make it more interesting.

@@MonkeNeuronActivated i got 3080 and r9 3900x, system is good but i seen this game run poorly in some content creators/streamers. Not always but sometimes, just like Dyson sphere program at endgame it's get really bad to be in the same planet as the factory

​@@Davidlavieri Biggest tip to mitigate lag is to have builds spread out, so the game is loading less at any one time, obviously at a certain point it becomes hard to spread it out when each system is so scaled up, but it's the idea. When you're pushing this game to its absolute limits with the numbers looking like Factorio, you're gonna have some performance issues on an early access. I'm sure it'll be a lot better optimized than it already is later in its life.

Many months.

@@Her_Imperious_Condescension do you know why.

@@erkamtb many bugs and lots of work. Should watch the official game channel from coffee stains.

CORRECT! I've fixed the issue, thanks for pointing that out!

The game's in early access and trains cause a lot of lag, that's all that's bad about them

Why would you do that? Manually collecting and dropping off resources is the very antithesis of the game. Have fun with the endless, pointless grind.

@@Heliaced Well, it IS a challenge... it's not supposed to be easy.

Meaby after update 1.0. They are not sure of that themself

Probly. Not.
