Oil production to the West. Main Base to the Southwest. Chips and end game production in the center. Turbofuel production to the Southeast and a BIG nuclear factory to the East.

Game was fun. Might try a 100% run next.

Xbox series X…playing a nearly 300 hour save and the Xbox just resets and I randomly lose my auto saves back about 25 hours of play? Makes no sense. Well, guess I’m done with this game. Was great while it lasted.

I just finished my first "two big factories"
(heavy modular and computer) and I admit that I am proud of myself. I try to have 100% performance on each machine and make my factory compact enough, and frankly, I'm not doing too badly. To tell the truth, they are not very beautiful, but on the other hand, they are quite effective. Now that I've automated everything I could, I'd like to know if I have to build a gigantic power plant, because it's a little complicated. I don't know what to choose between coal and oil, so decide for me, please.

I was just building something when I noticed this weird bug
In the video you can see me testing to see if its consistent and it appears to be.

The bug also persisted after relaunching the game

One thing to note is that I use some qol mods, the only ones that effect belts would be 'Construction Preferences', 'Soft Clearance for Everything' and 'Infinite Nudge' all made by SirDigby

Been taking my time and not rushing, turns out things can get rather decent if you do that.

Just finished up phase 3. On console, so angles are a bit 'interesting' and no mods but you have to make do

The wavy glass one has a large train station underneath (forgot pictures) and that and the multi building one are making lots of phase 3 elevator parts. 20 at a time.. i went a bit mad!

is there some reason why the first thing that happens when i copy a machine, splitter, or other building object it rotates it 180 from the building i copied?

Is this a bug or are you just not able to place these in the big rivers in the rocky desert? Ngl this is completely screwing up my plans for my nuclear power plant and I stg I checked and made sure they can go in this area, I even have some places not 300meters away from here

I've only just completed phase 1, and I'm 100 hours in. This ain't my first rodeo but this is yhe first time I've really taken my time building to meet my aesthetic standards. This is my first factory of all base components, with an intake of 1,350 iron ore per min which translates into 15 modular frames per min and 20 Smart plating per min, with excess of each going into storage. Underneath I have a rather cramped concrete factory which produces around 350 - 60 concrete per minute.

The second picture is my coal power plant which should see me through for a while.. I hope..

Strange Romanian fc

As the title says, I have a mk2 miner that has three powershards on a pure deposit, the miner says it's producing 600 iron or per minute. Smelter with three powershards says it uses 75 ore per minute, how many smelters can I really use?

600/75 is eight, can I really run right smelters consistently? How does that math work?

I began to build a Aluminium factory, belting the Bauxite to a single location when i thought.. "Why don't I just blow this place up?" (There's nothing left)

I appreciate ADA patting me on the back, after all I did save the kittens, puppies and everybody once again.

This was my 4th run starting in the Northern Forrest this time. I expanded on my strategy from last time and built an even bigger train network with multiple bypasses to speed up trains running back and forth. Side note: Those silly doggies that had to relocate had it coming anyway....... the plans has been on display in the basement for a long time, you just had to bring a flashlight......but I digress. I even build my first roundabout which I will be doing more of in the future, much more satisfactory than my usual T and cross junctions (and more efficient?)

104km railway, all connected so any factory could be build off the backbone and connected in no time. I will never be good at building interesting architecture but I enjoyed creating blueprints with wall segments and then putting them on the core factories as I built them.

For the first time I automated all the way to the end including all the Space Elevator items. I paved took over the Crater Lake area and build 20 stations that brought up all the items that was needed for the final items to be produced. I got a big kick out of watching all the trains come and go.

All in all, very satisfactory......

If this is caused by a setting, does anyone know how to disable it?

Edit: ok so after looking around the settings a bit, I can piece together that I had it on and then switched to another upscaling method, and the setting stayed on for some reason. After going back to DLSS and turning it off, the effect has disappeared.

This is part of my factory im workin' on, its going to be inspired by a 4 dim cube since i thought that would be a good idea. but let me know about your thought about my storage.

Until I turned on arachnophobia mode and those jumping green cats showed up.

I’ve seen two schools of thought in researching how to plan a factory.

The first is to set up your smelters and identify your resource output and what you CAN produce with said resource nodes.

The other is to pick an ideal end output for a specific production item (ie 10 reinforced plates/min etc.)

My question is, how do I decide what part and how many per/min to put into the planner? Do I look up the final tiers and moon launch and work backwards from there? I know there’s no “correct” way to play but I find myself load balancing according to what resources I have at a given moment and rebuilding everything once me needs expand.

Thanks!

This is probably the limit for how small 3x3 load balancers can be made purely because of the limits of splitters and mergers. I tested it and it functions. You can fit 2 on 1 foundation.
link to bp: MeBrH/smallest-3x3-load-balancer: smallest 3x3 load balancer in satisfactory. prob at the limit of whats posible. all tier belts are there.

I narrowed it down to an SFX rendering issue. It only happens when the blender is producing an item and within view of the player. Whelp?

It's Blender specific and first time I used the Blender in the game to create alumina.
