Love your videos - you have a great disposition

I'm commenting because you deserve it!

Video should have chapters so one can check what game you are talking about that is not hinged on skipping back and forth trying to catch when you say the game name once.

Good to know there is a way to pause the game but wish it was a basic UI button.

As a companion to my other comment, you can stack conveyor poles even tighter by using 1m ramps to space your poles even closer together vertically. Of course, the amount of clipping this produces is absolutely disgusting!

You can _"vertically stack"_ 4 conveyor poles to the height of a single 4m wall. To do this, put down a conveyor pole at it's default 1m height, preferably in an easy to remember location on a foundation such as the center. Then, place a 1m foundation on top of it and place the next conveyor pole in the same spot on top of the new foundation. Repeat this until you have a stack of 4 (or as many as you like!), then delete the foundations. Now, you have a very vertically tight stack of conveyor belts! *NOTE: There ARE some quirks to keep in mind:* When adding another pole, it can sometimes be tricky because the pole likes to disappear when over the pole below it. If this happens, try to move further away and aim the spot. When placing poles on the corner edges of foundations, you may need to add one or more foundations adjacent to where you're aiming to prevent the pole (or pole stack blueprint) you're placing from being one foundation lower than it should. I have blueprints with pole stacks as high as 31 poles!

Keep it up

А нафига так много лифтов если можно иметь один бесконечно высокий.

For liquids, as long as the source of the pipe is at the same level or higher than the machines they connect to, going down to a service underfloor and then back up has no issues. So if one set of refineries produce fuel, you can take the output and pipe below to a service level, then pipe back up to the same level if that is where you have generators, no pumps needed. If I am pumping oil up to a floor for processing you'll need pumps to get it up there, I tend to have a liquid buffer on the same level if not a little higher than the machines on the floor, then from the buffer go back underneath to the service floor, then pipe back up as/where needed without further pumps throughout the floor and with no problems. Only thing to note is that when you first start up the machines, you need to make sure you fill the pipes all of the way before turning on the machines. Pipes work better when full and are fairly consistent when full.

I hadn't noticed any issues feeding pipes from below personally, but maybe I've got a bunch of broken machines😅

how did you zoop further than 10 at 1:15 edit: nvm watched more of the video

Mega Pro Tip, Shhh it is a secret, Set your sun to Midday so that the time in your video is constant and not half dark . People cannot see in the dark. Use SkyUI to trick the Sun into 'standing still'...

Hey this was a really great video! I actually learned some stuff I didn't know before and am now mad at myself for all the time wasted lol

Nice, I have been playing for a long time and had actually still not known the holding e for different tiers of the same object tip -- thanks!

Surprised Satisfactory + mod didn't make this list. Although the belt one they should add to the base game. I find it weird that other transport options are never optimal.

xD wow you have Spaghetti factory! :D

Hold ctrl while nudging to nudge even smaller increments. :)

Please remember that the shortcut keys I mention in my videos, this one and others are only the defaults and can be changed by the player in the options menu as desired. So customize the controls however you like:)

Best tip: Don't play until full release.

I have like 200 hours in this game and still learning new things (:

This is a nice beginner thing but I wouldn't really say there's anything in here beyond your first hundred or so hours

0:50 you can also change the copy and/or paste keybinds so you can use like MB4/5 for example.

some of these are very interesting. but you missed the best "hard mode" mod. Satisfactory Plus. it changes all the recipes, machines, and entire experience. instead of ore > ingot > plates, you have Ore > Crushed ore > Sorted ore > ingots > plates, and thats just the early game. they also replace limestone with a new resource that gives you tin. where do you get concrete from you ask? the crushing and sorting gives you stone as a byproduct. everything has a byproduct and everything just about needs screws. foundations are iron plates, screws and iron sheets.

At 2:26, it says 1. change hologram color, which is actually supposed to say 7. Portable MAM progress. Sorry about that, folks! Also, remember that the shortcut keys I mention in my videos, this one and others are only the defaults and can be changed by the player in the options menu as desired. So customize the controls however you like:)

I have the sudden urge to use all of these at once

I appreciate your chuckle right after saying "fart rocks" After playing this game for 270 hours I still feel like a beginner sometimes. Nice vid.

"now you need to automate rotors and reinforced iron plates" me, only getting rotors after my motor farm has excess in the mid game:

Very funny 😄 Personally I just go by my gut. If you build big enough it all gets made eventually. With aluminium I use coal generators to get rid of the water. Oil, just make more generators than your refinery’s can feed that way it keeps running. Everything else goes to the awesome sink. I’m at the end of my second play through and none of my factories run efficiently 😂

We want space age trailer! :D

Thanks for these tips. 200 hours in and several of them are new to me.

Satisfactory Plus is so good. I like to call it 'real' Satisfactory. I have to admit though that my first time playing it the first 30-50 hours were very frustrating.

Quality of Life is a rabbit hole. Satisfactory has a lot of QoL features, and yet there are still a lot of moments that seems annoying and could have been improved. In fact, there are so many of them, that I wouldn't say that satisfactory is "comfortable" to play in average. I would mark the experience "above average", but with couple of small additions it could have been amazing! (If you want amazing - look at factorio (although it does have advantage of being 2D, I admit)). A couple of my personal annoyances: * A desire to maintain an incorrect state of so many things after deconstruction, that you have to fix manually. A good example - a half-floating belts after you remove a building it connects to. * A separation of splitters and mergers where there could have been one unified building for them. I have to make a lot of versions of the same blueprints that only differs with a direction of inputs-outputs (input-front output-front, input-front output-back, etc) simply because of this separation. Imagine if instead you could have simply build one and reverse the direction of the belts as needed. But you can't, because splitters and mergers are separate buildings, so you have to replace them too. * Snapping doesn't always work and sometimes it's buggy. What's worse - it isn't even always obvious why it doesn't work - two identical construction near each other, and snap may only work for one of them. * Weird snapping of splitters/mergers to a lifts. * UI of a lot of things feels like a prototype, not a finished product. Map, as an example - stamps and map markers should not be separated, and adding a map marker should not be that many clicks (they could easily allow it to be more keyboard friendly). Another example - split stack UI - is it shat hard to just put a keyboard focus on one of the inputs, and commit a split after hitting enter? * UI also feels weirdly laggy, like UI is rendered at a lower frame rate or there is some input lag. (or is it just because I usually have 30-40 fps in a game?). And these are just small annoyances. If you start looking beyond them and think about how you can actually improve your experience even in a places that already feels quite comfortable - there could be a lot more. (example: hotbar is already quite good to use, but what if you could manually bind several items to the same hotbar slot to switch between items with E. Because you don't agree with default "groups" the game arranged buildings for you). Like I said - QoL is a rabbit hole. Even in factorio I still have to use mods sometimes for things like crafting item under cursor. P.S I recently created post with a discussion on r/SatisfactoryGame about QoL features - good place to look for an inspiration.

As said in FFF #418, factorio space age will be 35$

Thanks for a good preview. I'm most looking forward to the Sept release of Satisfactorry 1.0. 😀

Why using infinite zoop mod if Smart mod exists?😅

Not mentioned mods I would not game without: -Random Resource Node Location (makes the game feel new every replay and changes where optinal facory locations would be) -Faster Manual Crafting (makes early game as well at expeditions much less annoying) -Vanilla Containers 100 slots (makes factory look more neat) -Swift swimming and Better bladerunners (makes expeditions more fun and skill demanding, for those who feel flying takes too much of the PvE challange away) -5 more hand slots (same reasoning as your 150 inv slots mod) -Bloodmoon and Weapon Upgrades is a fun combo if you like PvE -Super Alternate Recipes (efficiency without feeling too OP, one for SF+ also exist) -Flex Splines (no cap on conveyour and wire length, makes for cleaner factory) -Throughpu Counter and Limiter (ESSENTIAL for late game, makes everything run more smoothely) -Fluid Sink (alternative way to make aluminum and other later fluids run more smoothely by sinking overflow. doesnt feel OP yet look more compact and smooth imo) -Blue Print Designer+ (if youre a designer, this is essential) -Faster Hypertube Enterances (if youre not into the hassle of building cannons this makes you zoom zoom across the map in a fun way) -Floor Hole Cealing Logistics (makes factory look more nead if you have multiple floors) I'm generally into quality of life -mods rather than mods that makes the game too easy. No shame to those who do ofc, its a game you can play however you want. But if youre like me and want convinience without compromising challenge, this comment is for you.

So basically all except SF+ are cheats. Casual

Here's four QoL mods I never start without: - Item Hopper - Item Dispenser - Throughput Counter and Limiter - MAM Enhancer

0:02 im pretty sure coffee stain isnt an indie studio

I never tried mods. Looks like something I will try after I play a vanilla run of 1.0. I thank you much for the eye-opener! I have only been playing about 8 months now and never completed a game due to regretting not noticing things sooner coupled with what feels like a slow learning curve. I've enjoyed the challenge though.

Nice list!

I'm not gonna lie I didn't know that about the mergers. Ive been deleting everything and rebuilding it the whole time. Probably why i got sick of the game, i should give it a retry

Over a hundred hours in the game, and I just now learned I can draw the belt and THEN put the splitters down. Wow, that'll be so much easier, lol

Excellent! Good little quick tutorial on this very useful piece! Thanks for this!!

u dont need same tier belts in outputs... if u switch overflow for any undefined, it will work nice. ovefhow outputs is used for belts taking more itens than it can transport...

thank you man

Respectfully, this list is a bit of a mess. Some games haven't come out yet - some games are newer - some games are multiple years old. It makes it really feel like a hodgepodge list just put together to hit youtube keywords. If its about the best games, why no Factorio? If its about unmentioned games, why not Autonauts? If its about new games, why not AutoForge or Factorio:Space? Like, good on you making content, but what is the goal of this list?

What, no factorio? They even have this new expansion coming later this year
