I played this game in my friends pc and I am in love with this game I like the train system the most I will also buy this game when I collect enough money

Fun

Am I the only one who just plays Satisfactory and doesn't bother with any of this micromanagement? I mean, if you need more screws, make more screws. If you need more power, make more power. I mean, getting new recipes is really cool. I personally like the Iron Alloy recipe. As well as the Fused Wire, Coated Iron plate, and the Cast Screws. For me, its a little like Christmas as a child. Never really knowing how good or bad the gift is until its opened. I don't need to min/max a playthrough. I just need to play the game and enojy the process. Don't get me wrong, the builds the community makes are amazing to look at. And if you can spend 90% of the game making crazy blueprints and you enjoy it, fantastic! But I only have about 1200hrs in this game and this is my third playthrough. I only had 2 assemblers building all my steel plates up until recently in Tier 8. I'm ready to go to Tier 9 but I'm waiting for my kid to join me so we can "ride the space elevator" together. I don't know, maybe its just me. I just play this game to have fun. All the external calculations and helper websites just feels like I'm cheating... Or working. Which I've already done today. Now I'm ready to relax and build a little of this and a little of that. Go hunting for power slugs, kill things in my way, and listen to ADA have an ever-concerning conversation with this alien entity. Not to mention carry around a boom box, while listening to a few albums with 5 songs on each tape... Classic 80s. Not to mention shoot at the cyberwagon with explosives and turbo rifle ammo. Because its more bullet-proof than the real one. That's all I want. Maybe its just me though. Cheers

Pure resources also requires a lot of refinarys which requires a lot of motors overall defeating the purpose

Best way to solve exessive water is wet concrete into sink

Steel pipes are based. Encased steel pipe is absolutely S tier.

this is awesome

Use iron pipe and you don't need coal

FICSMAS is on the horizon! So let's prep! I will be streaming the Christmas Event throughout December! Stay tuned to find out when i'll begin the festive streams! Thanks for watching :)

So what's the net power production after it's made? My turbofuel plant makes 43,000MW but needs 6,000MW to produce. Is ionized fuel better or worse than 43:6?

Fun

If you really want to amp up ingot production, combine Solid Steel Ingot with Iron Alloy Ingot and Copper Alloy Ingot…you multiply your iron and copper several times over while also multiplying your steel. I built a factory that pumps out 502.5 steel, 440 copper, and 265 iron ingots all from 300 copper, 540 iron, and 335 coal, mostly using Mark 3 belts. These recipes are awesome put together!

I normally conform to the terrain. What do I consider the best for steel? Multiplicative steel is regularly selected. The aluminum beam looks interesting for beams as wet concrete could be used for EIB or Steel Screws. The normal steel beam and steel pipe is used until scaling up. In the basic steel factory solid steel ingot recipe is used. An iron ingot recipe with a multiplier is selected whether it be Basic Iron Ingot or Alloy Iron Ingot depending on location. An in-line production line with 6 foundries for iron ingots, at an underclock, to 6 foundries for solid steel, to four constructors for steel beams, and 4 constructors for steel pipes. The upside to this building is it uses lower tear construction component. It regretfully requires a pure iron nod, two pure coal nods, one pure limestone and normal limestone to work with basic iron ingot. That limestone would be better served for the casting recipes but the location of its construction lacks water and low-grade nods for copper. As most of the copper is dedicated to copper sheets for pipes. For the latter game the intent is to use coke steel. With fine concrete for the cast pipe and beams. I do use the Iron Pipe recipe for stators and rotors to motors. Good video Pickle. I enjoy the depth of the comparisons video’s. :)

No soild steel with a pure iron recipe? You even mentioned it :(

u can use the compacted steel alt if u use the rocket fuel byproduct and use it for steel and u use 0 sulfur and coal but that is what i do with my compaceted coal

An error on the Iron Pipe Recipe, you have the buildings used as 1 Foundry and 3 Smelters. It should be 1 constructor, not a foundry, which is also causing your power cost for it to be 11MW higher than it should be.

Logistics floor that's perfectly symmetrical, no crossed belts, no clipping... I'll pretend we agree on what "messy" looks like. 😂

I use both usually since you always have more Iron than Coal. I'll make as much steel as I have the Coal for and then turn the rest of the Iron into Iron Pipes. complicated but a good compromise in my mind between resource and time efficiency.

solid steel ingots gets even better once you do pure iron ingots

I really think the consideration on power in these examples is a bit much. i have never found myself bean counting power consumption. you simply expand power production as needed. once you get nuclear, is it even a consideration for anyone any more?

@6:15 or after spending time in the swamp or red forest dealing with spiders(stingers), then safely back at your base and catch the "wind" in just the right way and jump scare yourself when a leaf comes right at you... *(shifty eyes) uh .. someone on my single-play may or may not have had this happen a few times... hehe

Stitched Iron Plates say “hello, we’re available from your very first Hard Drive and far cheaper to produce.” Iron Wire would also like a word with you while you’re at it.

Molded Pipe is my definit go to for large scale production. That said if a production line is short a little bit of pipe I definitely make up the difference with the Iron Pipe recipe.

Iron pipe plus pure iron ingots. My go-to steel pipe recipe combination

One suggestion for where to get at least some of your concrete on the cheap, since Aluminum production includes water produced as a by-product, unless you keep the refineries running 24/7 by sinking excess scrap you will inevitably have excess water introduced into the system. As you can probably guess set up some refineries to make wet concrete to deal with the excess. Most efficient form would be with the use of an elevated pipe loop so will only run to consume the excess by-product water, with the trade of being the amount of concrete you get is inconsistent. Alternatively could pipe the water by-product directly to the wet concrete, with its trade off being having to pump all of the water the alumina solution recipe requires.

Solid steel was my first alternate and boy am i glad ive been using it this entire time

Ain't a pro if you playing since 1.0 😂

Good video, but i feel like these kinds of analyses kinda miss how the alternate recipes interact, e.g., you can produce SAM fluctuators with just sam and iron using the iron pipe and iron wire recipes. That doesnt make the iron pipe "best", but it is super useful in some applications.

I feel like the purpose of Nitro Rocket Fuel is to be used alongside the basic Rocket Fuel recipe. It makes for a very complex line to balance but it's the most efficient way. Also, compare this to the Dark Ion Fuel recipe. Using this and the Dark Matter Crystallization recipe, you can *really* bring down that Carbon expense.

Isn't the ratio of the standart Pipe recipe 3/2? Because you showed it to be 2/1. With 3/2 you're only using 20 iron and coal, not 27. But still, really good video! Btw. after finding out about the solid steel steel recipe I changed all of my steel factories to use it

wouldn't the solid steel ingot consume the least amount of iron if you use an alternative for the iron ingot itself?

The best thing ive done in my save is to create a water packaging facility and system for recycling the empty cans. I can just slap it down anywhere and drive one truck from the water plant using the road network. Takes all of the stress when choosing to use water recipes.

So, iron pipe can give you all 3 layouts for phase 3 without using coal. But ofcourse if u using alternate recipes for industrial beam, frame and also alternate recipe for computers and boards. God bless satisfactory calculator 😂

Ooooh refineries to make plastic, use crude oil to make coke and fuel, use fuel for power and steel with iron, using limestone with abundant water... West of the map at medium spawn point, no need for trains, trucks or anything, just one pipe coming from South to get 240 oil .... I didn't think about this ! Thanks !

Pure iron+ iron pipe all day long Patiently waiting for aluminum video 🙃

I adore this series - thank you for making it! Just one nitpick though. The correct way to write the unit of megawatt is “MW” with two capital letters. A lower case “m” usually indicates “mili” in metric units and watts must always be abbreviated using the capital “W” since the unit is derived from the name of a person - James Watt.

Coke Steel is a very good recipe if you plan for it. It is not by any means something that should be used to produce small amounts or use on a whim to fix upstream problems. Before 1.0, I ran a Steel-centric build hierachy and it ran perfectly. It produced 1600 Steel Ingots per minute and carried me all the way to the end of the game. It's definitely not something you should go for unless you have plenty of power to spare. I don't understand the hate it gets. Coal has high value later in the game and in my opinion be focused there. I would certainly not use the Compacted Steel recipe ever. Personal opinion. Example: If you make a giga Plastic factory have Crude Oil -> Rubber + Blended Fuel -> Recycled Plastic, you will have a lot of Heavy Oil Residue to deal with even after you make your Blended Fuel. I have a plant in the blue crater doing 3200 Plastic per minute. There was a substantial amount of left over Heavy Oil Residue left over so for now, it's being turned into Coke and then Autosunk. It's currently 2400 Petroleum Coke which I could turn into (2400/75 = 32 Foundries * 100 Steel) 3200 Steel Ingots which would supply me with basically all the Steel that I need for the rest of the game (we already beat it) if any systems fall behind in demand in the future and need to be scaled up. I could instead turn the 2400 coke into a Coal Generator plant of (2400/25 = 96 Coal Gens * 75 MW) 7200 MW power to recoup the power cost of the plastic facility and then some, but when you're already sitting on 180,000 MW surplus, is the Coal Generator plant really necessary? Who knows. We're busy playing HellDivers 2, Farm Sim 25, and Arma Reforger.

It feels wrong to say Compacted uses the least iron ore when you can use Pure Iron Ingots to make Solid Steel use less ore.

Can you also factor in space? Some of these "better" alternative recipes take up 2 or 3 times the volume to run. When planning mega factories, being compact is usually MORE important than power or resource requirements. Overproducing power is easy. And mid to late game, doubling production with a summorsloop is trivial. I'm not saying space is the ultimate decider, you need to factor everything. But to ignore it entirely seems strange to me. I'd much rather have smelters than foundries for verticality. And being able to create reusable blueprints in a compact space is much more of a time saver than a power discounts. Raw numbers is helpful, but it really doesn't tell the full story.

This a great series, thank you. I'm a confirmed Iron Pipe guy. Iron is everywhere. Coal is not. Easy decision for me.

valhallan, dude love the videos but... i am begging you please! please make a video on crystal oscillator i need your help more then ever, im making a computer factory and i need to know what the best crystal oscillator is. but yeah love the videos, there always something i look forward to.

Coke Steel seems like a good backup when you use up all your coal. I haven't found Crude Oil itself super scarce, since I use Diluted Fuel to make Fuel, Turbo Fuel, and Plastic or Rubber. In fact the 2 factories I have using Oil atm are over producing fuel and I have no use for it yet. Not far enough to make Diamonds so maybe Coal gets used up elsewhere

I love the vibe of open conveyors. I usually do a bit of both. I'll do like a single factory to produce something, say plutonium fuel rods, and I'll bring in al the resources, send them in on a conveyor bus and then have individual buildings on the factory campus to produce major parts. Those buildings have logistics floors, but then send their product out to open conveyors to get across the campus to whatever building it needs to get to. You get the cleanliness of logistics floors, but you still get the rough/alive/almost-chaotic vibe that conveyor highways give you.

I can attest to the content creation. As soon as I saw Josh make a conveyor belt tornado I was all in. I now have 900+ hours in the game.

While Iron Pipes are great, Especially for making some things in an Iron Factory with alternate recipes, I prefer Molded Pipes as my go to Steel Pipe Recipe because I already got the infrastructure for it set up in my Steel Factories which I always bring limestone over to

How is the Iron Ingot variant if using Pure Iron Recipe with Water? 🤔

The Compacted Steel Ingot recipe makes me irrationally angry. 10 per foundry? Are you kidding me?

very good video

I very much would like this blueprint for my own world! If you could post a tutorial build or the blueprint file I would love you forever!

Some people say it doesnt work anymore. But i testet it and it worked for me exactly like in the video 👍great tutorial
