Hey everyone! Thanks for watching my video, I worked hard to try to make it useful and fun to watch, and I would love to hear what you think. I am also looking for ways to expand my channel, so if you can leave a comment with what other kinds of videos you would like to see - other games, satisfactory guides, cinematic builds, etc. Id love to hear what you think. Thanks again and have an efficient day!

I actually like Caterium wire early game, because, I'm barely using Quickwire at that point. So I can use my copper for sheets, then.

Would have been nice to see the actual alternate recipes for better understanding. Now I feel obligated to research on a second screen hehe

Other games you may be interested in: Captain of Industry, Dyson Sphere, Timberborne. Satisfactory is a favorite of mine (really enjoy factory automation games) and I've enjoyed the ones I've listed here as well.

Really nice of you to go over alternative recipes as that is part of game where my efficiency mad head struggles the most playing this game. Though I do not agree with all of them, it is great help for certain kind of undecisive players, like me.

Could you expand on this? Like a tier list for each stage of the game would be great! Me and my buddies had absolutely know idea about how you could use some of these alt recipes so this was very helpful!

So glad to see you back at it. I do really enjoy your content!!

Unmatched quality in Satisfactory videos, ty

Love the straightforward play style!

Very nice video, thank you for making it! Spending around an hour early game just to unlock a couple of QOL recipes sounds like a straight road to the cheat menu on a second playthrough :D I'm really struggling to understand truck stations and why they even exist in this game. I have a couple of trains for bigger raw material deliveries, which I could realistically just replace with belts since they pretty much deliver from 1 pure resource node straight to a consumer factory. And around 50 drone ports that transfer high compression stuff like caterium ingots, aluminum casings and space elevator part components. I'm finally at the point where each of the phase 4 space elevator components are being produced at around 4/min rate, this is my fourth attempt at the game. Every time I started I could not understand why anyone would want to use a truck station. You need to provide them with fuel, record their routes which takes a tremendous amount of effort and time and most of the time the terrain is so horrible you have to create your own by building foundations over large spans. I started at northern forest and I have no idea how trucks would work here.

this is really helpful, i struggle to figure out the optimal alternate recipes for certain things - for example, right now I'm building a new HMF factory so I'm exploring the Encased Heavy Frame recipe to avoid screws, but I'm not sure if it's really worth it.

Good stuff. I tend to look for Cast Screws, Bolted Iron Plate and Bolted Frames then sit on any additional hard drives until phase 2 for Steel. It's just planning ahead really and since you are not longer forced to take a recipe but can just exit out and back in for another try why not? Having Iron Wire when you need iron ingots for the best steel recipe is just a waste. True the waste doesn't happen early on, but I have never needed wire and couldn't come up with some fairly easily. In fact now at the end of Phase 2 while putting together the ACU in the multiplayer is the first time any copper has become an issue. And with the huge amount of wire that can be processed from caterium that problem just becomes running the conveyors really. I need 1 constructor then take the 120 wire about 200 meters. I have not stumbled across nuclear waste in a while, but can you no longer just place it into your trash bin and be done? That seems a lot faster than running to a storage to have to belted to another storage but still there. Have you tried just tossing it straight to trash bin from the doggo? Really would like to know if this still works.

Great advice as a newbie.

Another wonderful video. The only thing is I suggest trying to talk a bit slower. There were a few times I had to rewind because I had a hard time understanding you. Looking forward to the next video!

Always a huge fan of your content. Love the Satisfactory videos. Are you excited for 1.0?

Bolted Iron Plate is niche at best, almost always terrible. It makes the plates three times faster but uses *more than* three times the iron to do so. The only reason to use it is if you need massive output but are limited by power and/or space. And even then, it has to compete with the vastly superior Iron Wire/Stitched Plate combo.

:)

My dumbass was using caterium wire for the adaptive control units because there happened to be a node nearby. I really need to be less scared of setting up item transportation…

Should have mentioned you can get an inventory expansion as a fifth research

Hardcore disagree on Copper Alloy Ingot, Iron Wire, and Fused Wire. You can swap them around.

IMO, you completely left out an early S-tier hard drive unlock - +6 inventory slots.

i need help, i unlocked the cast screws but i cant use them in any of my factory constructors

Original Crystal Oscilators recipe: Reinforced Iron Plate Cable Quartz Crystal Make a factory that takes Iron Ingots and turns them into Iron Wire and Iron Plates to make Stitched Iron plate - one assembler of Stitched Iron plates will make sufficient RIP for two manufacturers of Crystal Oscilators. Use one Constructor to use the leftover wire to make more than enough Cable for those manufacturers. Import Raw Quartz to make Quartz Crystal to complete the process.

Nice to see you making videos again. Not really sure what your tastes are for games but something I found really addictive is Cultist Simulator, at first it looks like a deck-builder, but its really a crazy deep management game that uses cards as tokens for all the various items, actions, locations and people you deal with. Not everyone's cup o tea for sure but It totally blew my mind so I always try to recommend it for people you enjoy complicated gaming. Either way keep up the good work.
