Word of caution for anyone following this build along. There is an issue with where the water extractors are placed in the huge coal power factory. They need to be moved over a bit. It is described in episode 4 of this playthrough. Please upvote this so people see it before making the same mistake.

CORRECTIONS: -I placed a wall height of 12m on the logistics floor, it should be 16m, I'll fix this for the next episode. It's not important either way though really. -People are saying my 3 Coal Power setup makes 198MW of power. It does, but it consumes 20MW (the water extractor) so I factored that in for a net gain of 178MW. -I placed a conveyor pole slightly off, it will be fixed. My sincere apologies. -The diagram for the Coal Generator floor has the wrong dimensions in text. It says 47x23 - it should be 47x27 (the diagram spacing is correct, just the text number was off, its fixed in the files in the description) -How can 600 coal feed 45 generators? They're underclocked to 88%. They take 13.2 per minute. Generators can be overclocked or underclocked and they consume the same coal for their power output either way, you don't lose anything by underclocking. It's done this way so that You need 15 water extractors per 45 generators, and 5 extractors per pipe. -You can copy and paste a machines settings; true, but not generators. So you'll have to individually set them to be 88% each. Some people struggled with finding where to start building from, use these timestamps: 31:10 - This is how to get the height of your first foundation. 32:24 - This is the spot where you can start the build from. It shows you a few pillars that will allow you to align your build correctly.

Just a heads up for people following the corrections: I'm having water pipe issues that make the coal plants cycle on and off, and while I haven't fully diagnosed yet, I *think* it's because of the extra 4m of the logistics floor causing head lift issues. An extra pump on the pipes up at the logistics floor seems to solve the issue (and upgrading to Mk2 pumps when you get them would also solve the problem

@ericleng7570 4 ай бұрын

There is problem with the mk2 pipe, it will not flow 600 cubic meter of liquid when there is a joint. Pre-filling generator by flipping the switch don't solve this. Some generator will still pause occasionally due to no water. Most suggestion will advise to use 90% of the mk2 pipe volume (540 cubic meter)

I'm completely lost as to where he started. He "clicked" his camera shutter thing, and suddenly there were foundations placed in the water, but I have no idea where. Then it clicked again, and he was somewhere completely different, and there were foundations going off in different directions. I understand needing to edit out some of the tedium of placing a couple thousand foundations, but if the first foundation is the most important, maybe show where it goes?

@lizk2223 Ай бұрын

@@whisper8003 Iook for the small island actually in the water, you can see a spitter and even a bee thing this is not far from the shore. if you are looking from the lime deposit it is off to your right. The spitter can be hard to see as they are on the top of the weird looking round structure. The water out to this island is low and if you go ahead in the video you will see he has laid some foundations . With your back to the island look to straight and to the left (back towards the lime deposit) Where two sides of the shore meet (at the rocks). You will find a series of natural rock looking spikes in the sand which is where he finishes. I used this point as my starting point because I was able to see the heights in comparison and know that if the last foundation laid was on this spot then by laying the first I would also be right and it worked. I stopped the vid on the very last foundation laid...set my first down in exactly the same place and then counted. Hope that helps it drove me a little nuts

@Danny_UK Ай бұрын

Yeah I'm trying to follow this right now, new player to this game. I got the gist of it but the foundations of 25x37 just do not fit in where he said. He needs to go a little slower and explain where to place what properly because if we are to follow this and build onto it, it won't work out for many of us. I don't know if they have moved the island in game but when I get to 25 across it goes to far and I made sure I started right at the other end.

Did you know you can sneak up on the hatchers? When you approach while crouching they don't send out the bugs. Then, when you've got explosive rebar you can one shot them without dealing with the buzzing jerks.

@deeraz 10 ай бұрын

Actually, if you're at a nice distance you can shoot the first rebar, immediately reload (while it's in flight) and shoot a second one. The second one will land before the hatchers come out and destroy the nest. While you'd have to play around to figure out the distance for that, it's not too narrow of a window - took me two tries to start eyeballing it correctly 100% off the time.

For anyone wanting a better way to transfer resoruces for this massive project, unloxk the truck and setup a path for it to follow as well as 2 truck stations for unloding and loadin. Transfer the needed stuff from your home base and put the truck on auto pilot. It will take resources from your base and move it to the truck station at the new area automatically. The only trick to doing this is setting up platforms for the truck to drive on

For anyone coming to this months later, the pipe floor holes are still bugged. All of my floor holes in the lower levels worked as intended, but not a drop of water was getting upstairs to the coal generators. And if anyone's wondering, I had no problem with the pumps, they worked as advertised. Having read the warnings about the floor holes, I deleted the upper pipes and floor holes as well as the relevant foundation, reran the pipes straight up, and replaced the foundations, clipping and all. Not as neat, but it works. I understand it has to do with specifically how you build, but I decided to bypass the whole circus instead of futzing with it.

Really learned a lot watching these first few episodes. My tip is for figuring out the lift from the Extractors if you really want to min/max your pump placement. The extractors don't show lift like the pumps so it's hard to see if you've used up the 10 they provide. But you can put a temporary pump at the level of the extractor pipe and see what it shows as the headlift. Make sure that's under 10 to your next pump and then you can take the temporary pump off.

I really appreciate the UI tips, building advice, and explaining why certain items are being placed the way they are in the build. That additional info during these first 4 episodes has got me trying to design my own layout! I'ts not going to produce as much power, but that's because I'm cutting into my space with foundries. My one nitpick for these episodes is the stark contrast from episode 1 & 2 to this one. I've spent 8hrs planning/building my set-up, and I'm not even close to half way done--got me reminiscent of the numerous Minecraft builds I start and don't finish. But, I'm gonna try to complete it!

So i just started playing satisfactory for like 20 hours now and your videos have been super helpful getting me up to speed. I wont lie that this video had me overwhelmed.. but i used it as inspiration to practice and get my "bob ross on" and make "Happy Little Factories". That being said I feel there is a fundamental system flaw that is being missed in the design of this power plant. A lot of the weird percentages are being done to avoid exceeding the max flow of the mk 1 pipes (300). However the design with a manifold layout divides producers and consumers (its a PubSub design pattern at heart - software engineering speak).. For instance if you do [ (Pump) (Pump) -> (Plant) (Plant) (Plant)] you are guaranteed to have traffic issues. There is mathematically a solution to do coal without weird ratios that works with the mk1 pipes. You can either use mk1 belts or mk2 belts for the coal.. latter of course being more efficient.. 120/min coal will always supply 8 plants. 8 plants consume 360 water, which is supplied by 3 pumps. If you create a token ring system you can design it such that you never exceed the 300 threshold. Though the valves on pumps and plants are one directional the pipes are not.. They are one big pool. That being said for every 8 coal plants do this [ (pump) (plant) (plant) (plant) (pump) (plant) (plant) (plant) (pump)] you can even chain these .. key is just creating T junction from the plant or pump to the main artery .. as long as pump to plant ratio is 3/8 and there are 120 coal for every 8 coal plants you are golden. No weird calculators for early game players. Keep up the great work!

@lfla0179 9 ай бұрын

I would suggest, since you got mk2 belts unlocked, cough up the belts to a coal miner and belt all the way to 8 coal generators hooked to 3 water extractors. But make 2 banks of 4 gens: one water extractor feeding one bank from the left, one feeding both banks, one feeding the other bank from the right. Mk1 pipes can't carry water for 8 coal generators all the way, but when you split into 2 banks of 4 it all balances it out: 120 coals per minute feed 8 gens exactly, 3 water extractors provide 360 water per minute exactly matched to the coal generators too. You should also split the coal from the middle of the banks too. The "3 by 8" is the best way to setup a beginner coal, no overcloking, undercloking, plenty of power for a starting phase, one full mk1 coal miner used for power, everything balanced naturally.

I finally got around to building this and I had an issue with the pipes on the logistic floor, they were right in line with the conveyors and pipes for the generators in the front of the building. I made my pump room wider so it's a 5 X 3 Rectangle rather than a 3 X 3 square in the basement. As always, loving this series! Also, the way the electrical poles fit in between the back-to-back generators, absolutely brilliant!

20:20 ish Yeah, those edges around standard foundations are something you can place structures on and it messes with alignments, plain concrete floors in the awesome shop are always my first purchase because of it.

Snapple fun fact, you don't have to repeatedly crouch and then jump! You can just hold down the couch button and continuously jump without losing any momentum! Makes for a much smother experience.

One suggestion for those of us who arent neatly as fast as Darren… add lots of storage to your copper and steel plate lines when you switch over to coal. Coal burns even if it's not needed (unlike bios mass burners) and if your storage is full you'll just be wasting coal.

@shawnp6653 9 ай бұрын

So nice to get the Blade Runners and the mini coal power plant. For making coal only runs, I built a personal storage box on the coal power plant platform, dumped stuff there, and then my personal inventory could carry more coal.

You made reference that the floor was 16 meters high… add 3 walls which are 4m tall and we have 16 meters… you keep saying throughout its 16m but it’s only 12… 4*3=12 😂

@blackhavoc6104 Ай бұрын

Its a good idea to have a coal buffer for the future when youre gonna use the 780 belts. So you fill up the generators faster cause one array only use 600 coal/min.

So I've got 100s of hours in factorio and I've always wanted to get satisfactory and it was on sale the other day so I picked it up. These videos have really helped because the tutorial isn't really helpful. It made my factory a mess and the funny thing is, I'd missed the importance of the power poles and assumed they only have 1 connections, so my has SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many biomass reactors and it took me 10 hours to get to coal.... hahahahahaha! Restarting tonight.

Quick heads up, after following this build to a T, I had a lot of issues with water getting to each generator (15 gens). Now this might sound odd, it’s hard to explain over text but I’ll try my best at the fix that has got me 88.8888% on 15 gens using mk 2 pipes. Scrap all the vertical pipework on the middle floor, just have a pipe running over to the side of the first gen, run the single pipe through the roof with a pipe floor hole. Now have this pipe running horizontal; making sure they are higher than the lifts that go into the gens. Add a junction above each water input to the gen and noodle the pipes into the gens from there. Essentially your feeding the gens from the top using pumps and gravity instead of pumps trying to force water up the pipes. If anyone has questions I’m happy to try and explain it better, I just suck at explaining things😂 but it’s nice seeing my pipes straight capped at 600m3, they don’t fluctuate at all.

Nice video! When you get blueprints you should take your time and make a lot. I made all the different materials 4x4 foundations with 1-4m. And a lot of conveyer buses with right and left turns. It took a while to make but really saved time later on, just planting down a long conveyer beltline.

Biomass burner shows max fuel consumption, not actual. so solid fuel will be if output will be 30MW. On grapth you have orange line (Consumption), black (production) and grey (capacity). Biomas burner are only load-folow power plants, their production is matching demand; coal power is constant-load. If you look again @22:00 you will see you have higher production (from coal) than demand, so biomass is not used The "clock" is not movin, it shows how much it will use on full-load draw

@HayMax22 9 ай бұрын

At 18:00 and 24:20 I'm gonna be the "technically" guy. The power consumption for overclocking is still exponential despite what others may say, it's just that it follows a logarithmic curve instead so it appears on a graph different than a standard whole number exponent. The exponent is not a whole number. The exponent is 1.321928 which is the same as log2(2.5).

Idk how everyone else is managing, but this video was super hard to follow for me. It was impossible to line anything up perfectly or build in the exact spot you were due to several cuts and an overall confusing perspective, and now I can't continue because I messed up somewhere and I don't have room for one of the foundations.

@Danny_UK Ай бұрын

I know exactly how you feel and I think they have moved things around with an update. Starting the foundations of 25x37, I get 25 across and as soon as I do 37 the other way it hits the mountain, certainly not the same layout as this video. I actually made sure I placed the first foundation exactly where the spikes came up on one side and still hit the mountain, something has changed, I'm sure of it. Almost gave up with it to be honest lol.
