The idea of floors and walls for the factory is not optics or stability but rather reducing render buffer. When having a lot of animations going on putting down some walls can increase your fps like crazy.
lol you suck! Trying to make money off of Josh's videos rehashing his old videos for some stupid reaction... Dude grow up and get a job with your click bait nonsense... you're pathetic
The beauty of Satisfactory is that the map is so big you can just leave old factories as relics and just move to a new place and start over. That said, I have ripped up my old factory 3 or 4 times and ended up with a massive storage warehouse for every item in the game with a production factory on top. Some might call it a mega factory. 5x Industrial Containers for each item overflow (using smart splitters) into producing next tier items items until everything is full or saturated and then items overflow into Awesome Sinks. It started out well but now it's turning into a black hole for FPS lol. My advice is: • Build spread out modular factories making just a few types of items. • Give yourself A LOT MORE SPACE than you think you'll need. • Embrace using logistics floors and conveyor floor holes (when you start using foundations) to do all your belt and pipe logistics. It keeps things looking nice and tidy on the production floors. • Don't be afraid to tear things down and rebuild. • Have fun building however you like.
I've told myself, this factory is really well designed. Won't be needing to tear this down. 1 week later Tears the ENTIRE building down to start all over. I've done this 4 or more times with starter iron factory, not to mention any of the other factories I have around the world for aesthetic reasons.
It's really interesting to go back and watch Josh mourn his fame rate at this point in his build when we all know what is coming. Chaos. Unadulterated chaos.
And then he went on to play Phasmophobia and not die a single time despite being inside for about 10 hunts. Looking forward to seeing more of your gameplay in Satisfactory and especially the moment with your lizard doggo from stream.
Well that's because this video is from April 2019 while the game was still "v0.1[.]01"... And the "last" one is from September 2021, right before Update 5 dropped. :-B
Just so you know, the color cartridges arent used for much anymore. Painting your buildings is free now, and the cartridges are just for road lines and such.
The first couple of episodes of LGIO's Satisfactory playthrough are kinda tame compared to the later ones. Though to be fair it kind of sets a pace for each episode afterwards getting progressively more uhhh.... chaotic. The third episode is when the first iteration of the famous conveyor belt tornado appears. (Which is featured in the store page for Satifactory)
Happy reaction day! I'm so glad it's the weekend lol Let me know how you liked the video and there are any other reactions you'd like to see! And games to play - I'm always looking for new stuff to discover. Satisfactory might consume my life for a while though...brb
In regards to the color gun, it was removed in update 5 and replaced with the customizer (iirc) which is unlocked from the awesome shop. It does a lot more than just colors now, though you will still need to make the cartridges for it. Regardless, I am really enjoying watching your Satisfactory vids!
The jump pad now has arrows telling you where it will launch you, also finding out where the milestone pode goes is pretty fun, I won't spoil where it goes but I will say you can jump onto it for a ride
Dude there is a community update and I can’t wait to see you’re reaction to let’s game it out new video when it comes out with version 6 and see how you finish your man with archy legs.
Interesting fact about changes since LGIO was at this point: For the Space Elevator, originally the tiers were completed with regular parts that you'd unlock as you moved up the tiers you already had available, and those parts were able to be manually crafted (so for example, that first delivery was rotors and reinforced plates). But to emphasize the automation, they decided to do a rework where the Space Elevator delivery parts were special parts that cannot be manually crafted, they must be automated (basically, they're too complex for the Pioneer to craft themselves).
But the fact that Phase 1 is needed to unlock Coal Power (and is the _only_ such bit that absolutely requires assembling) is a slap in the face of every handcrafter playing the game... :'(
Josh is absolutely one of my favorite game content craters. The amount of things he breaks and the amount of insanity he makes is entirely to entertaining.
If you go to the Coffee Stain Studios RUclips channel, the patch notes videos for each major update are a decent way to get an idea when things were introduced.
Types of factories (from most to least organized): - Urban planner - OCD - Organized - Organized mess (well organized to make the outputs look messy [e.g. a belt with 6 different materials on it but in the same repeating pattern]) - Messy - Spaghetti - Intentionally messy - Josh-approved
Multiple objects on a belt in a usually referred to as a sushi belt. Later when you get smart splitters you'll understand why and how it works. *Of course that's not how Josh is using them but just an FYI.
It's a pretty terrible idea even when you can do it, but the whole point of a sushi belt is you don't split it, you use your divine power of foresight to put evertly material in on the same port.

I feel that the most interesting thing concerning these reaction videos was your "I didn't know that you could do that." followed by "You know, that gives me an idea." Of these two simple ingredients great atrocities are born.
Something useful for very high capacity systems - Because the industrial storage container has two inputs and two outputs, you can split and merge conveyors at the same time without the bottleneck of a single belt in the middle. That means you can have multiple inputs be redistributed to multiple outputs without reducing the overall max flow rate. It also gives buffer storage on its own (because it's made of storage containers), which makes it great for large scale bulk storage of materials. I use it most often with trains, because it drains/fills the station as fast as possible with no backup. My current save is very train based (my goal is to use trains as the primary transportation method for everything, and to design the factory in a way that forces interesting train layouts), which means I use this a lot in my warehouses. I don't know how useful it is in a normal game (resources tend to be in lots of small streams, rather than a few really big ones), but I'm sure there's some cases where this could be useful.

My original factory is 1.8 km from coal, so I have a 1.8 km conveyor belt winding its way through the wilderness. (Which was a real pain when I had to upgrade to tier 2 cause I wasn't getting enough coal) This game makes people go mad.
I remember that some of the videos that Josh has done in the Lets game it out of the Satsfactory game was before a new update that restrict those unique "Lets game it out" moments in the early videos you travel back, basically your seeing what the game looks like without much of the updates that required like the need for foundations and such. Kinda like seeing pre-alpha game programing of the game before the updates was added later on :3
I would like to thank you for introducing me to the Ori series! I knew about it for so long, but I never thought about playing it until I saw your WotW vids! That game... has changed my life. Edit: After watching your WotW vids, I realised it was a great game, and played through the first one as well as the second, just because I watched your vid!
"Not that crazy" oh... just wait til you see how he deals with his coal. The term spaghetti belts doesn't even start to describe the... surprisingly controlled chaos.
Lining up the jump pads reminds me of lining up teleporters in halo reach forge mode. Made a map entirely designed around momentum with teleporters, made it a full loop covering whole map.
If you do it right, you can actually place conveyor belts on top of other conveyor belts, which is how that mess was made. (I did plenty of that myself in the early part of my first game.) Everyone's first factory ends up looking like spaghetti, but even later on when using stacked conveyor poles, conveyor lifts, and other stuff, it can still be something of a mess. Just a more organized mess. It took a while, but I did eventually delete and redo my entire starting factory area. And had some stuff in various other parts of the map that was all connected to my main factory sites, one way or another. Due to changes in Update 6 though, I've now started a new game. This time I'll redo my main factory site a lot quicker once I've got the parts I want.
as of i think update 4 or 5 they made the color gun free to use and the color cartridge used to for example make a floor made of concrete rather than metal, purely cosmetic
you should automate from the beginning yes, but many things take a longer time to be built in a machine then when you build it yourself, so it's best to start automating at the beginning but also to build stuff at the workbench at the same time. Also if you get the smart splitter you can tell it to send overflow to another conveyer belt when your storage is full for example so instead of blocking your belts it will get sent to the awesome sink. Also it's a good idea to smelt stuff you find in crash landings, like computers.
Only things I craft instead of automating atleast until I have coal power is ingots and biomass takes an extra few hrs to get to coal but ehh works for me
@@Krakenfall nice. I'd suggest building alot of foundation, putting splitters in the mittle to build like a main line and then have Constructors on each site. You then put conveyer belt lifters on each site and do a line above the Splitters for the output so you basically have an input -> construct -> output system that you can extend forever.
@@alexpena4091 Only things I automate instead of hand-craft at least until I have coal power is smart plates because the game forces me to... takes an extra few hrs to get to coal but ehh works for me. :-)
i took a break from Satisfactory since update 5, with update 6 am tempted to go back again but i think am gonna go back later. Not sure if your chat told you during your stream but purity of minerals affects mining output. Also hyper tube is alot of fun.
I get that. I take breaks from games just so I don't get burned out and can jump back in for another binge (Subnautica for example). For the mineral purity - yep. I spent a while looking for pure nodes, but ended up just using what I had with overclocks. I hope to eventually snake some belts from pure nodes to my base and put all the ore processing together.
@@Krakenfall if you intend on starting a new game try starting in the mountain area instead, that Biome has the most pure nodes along with trees for wood. The desert has plenty of normal nodes but lesser trees.
The Hoverpack and power lines are my go to for tall builds, you need never walk again. Also the frame rate issues are no longer a thing, they really up'd their game with optimization.
Another one of my favorite playthroughs of Josh’s is his Planet Zoo series. It’s actually what got me started on his channel. I’d love to see you react to some of those too if you get the chance. They’re a good laugh.
Maaaan... I hate the fact that I always need to make double takes when I look at your webcam, cuz you look like Markiplier and I get confused every f-ing time! Nice vid and I love your content! Hope to see more from you.
There is a Paint gun still, but it's functionality has changed You no longer use it to paint buildings, you use it to put icons on things now Jump pads now have an arrow arc to them so you can aim them better
I just heard about what you did with the awesome shop with your items, it hurt my heart! Just have an overflow for each material storage so that you're only turning 'extra' stuff into tickets
Good idea! I'll probably do something like that when I rebuild the base. Question: how do you do an overflow if the input flow for the item is slower than the storage output? Do you use the ai splitter or whatever the one after the smart splitter is called? I don't have that one yet.
I've tried to colour-code stuff in the game, but i always find i run out of colours... What's your table of associations? Also, how do you handle stuff like stators, that use *_both_* iron/steel _and_ copper?
On my latest game I made it to coal power and I have like 4 coal generators down, but my biggest issue is always power until I get to that point. I get a biofuel production line going so I just shove my wood and leaves into boxes and the factory makes biomass and then biofuel so I can quickly feed all my burners, but when you start automating everything right away, it just eats through your fuels so quickly, it makes me anxious, I start rushing around so to not waste time and then I have to stop playing because I get motion sick. On my last game, I only got this far because I only automated the basic 1:1 manufacturing, like turning one thing into another and made all the assembly by hand until I had power generation automated so I don't have to worry so much about gathering biomass. I don't know why, but it just really stresses me out. And now, with coal coast up and running, I can work on branching out the automation completely stress free
I got coal in this week's stream and it's AMAZING (after I fixed all my power spike issue oof). I have 14 biomass burners because I was saving coal to do on stream and it was a royal pain in the butt
Around the 7 minute mark you get excited about the idea of a floating factory. I did too when I first saw this. I have an endgame flying factory, you should check it out sometime. I painted it purple, so I call it "The Flying Purple Spaghetti Factory". I would gladly give you a tour of the madness, DM me and we can exchange gamer tags if interested. You could even stream it if you want the drive mad the people suggesting you use foundations, lol.
13:13 "now"?!? Pretty sure the lifts were available in the original version... or Update 2 at the latest. :) Oh, and it's unfortunate that josh never explained his (understandable) confusion at 7:53 about "smelting" limestone, that would've been interesting to see you react to his "sheesh" moment. ^^
I can't believe you are still not using foundation in tier 4 or 5 :o I usually rush Coal Power to eliminate the Biomass maintenance and by that point everything is already on foundations. I would totally go crazy to think that I'll take down everything once I/you decide to place it on foundations!
😅yeah...It will be nice to get everything built up with foundations. I knew I'd get hyperfocused on making things too perfect if I indulged in foundations immediately, so I went for prototyping automation first over aesthetics.
@@Krakenfall building on land only is absolutely just prototyping, you'll need lots more (vertical) space when you get to the later production chains. ;-)
you should focus on making the space elevator parts so you unlock the coal plant in tier 3. this way you dont have to worry about feeding the power generators and you can just hook up some storage and let it produce parts while you sleep. easy way to get a good amount of parts to play around with.
We just did that in this week's stream! It'll be in episode 4 of the let's play series (or it's in the vod on twitch). I didn't even think about afk farming production. Good idea!!!
@@Krakenfall it will for sure make your life as content creator easier XD . also go hunt for wrecks. thats where you find harddiscs for new recipes. the higher tier you reach the higher tier recipes you get. highly recommend getting some while rather low tier so you can get better recepies for the basic parts. you will change your production setups alot so dont grow attached to them 😀
@@Poke-ladd oh, i don't use ladders to "get down", i have gravity for that. xD (And the handy jetpack to cushion the impending sudden stop at the end.)
Hey Krak, if you want to replace a belt with a newer version but not want to rebuilt everything, just select the new buildable belt and aim at an existing belt. That one was bugging me in the last vid. 😀
I love this game - I really enjoy open ended games where I can do what I want. Have you tried The Forest? Its also very sandboxy build/survival game but it does have a story.
Color gun is no longer in the game; color patterns can now be set without needing to make color cartridges. That was actually the thing that got me to switch over to the Experimental Branch.
One my first trys. I didn't know that your really only need one I went out of my way and built like 40 something space elevators but the animations of a bunch getting ready uhhh. Yes.
If you want some good satisfactory chainsaw content, I think the best video for that is valefisk's "mass deforestation in satisfactory", although it's a very long video, of highlights from the stream.
Yooo! I'm streaming live on Twitch! I'm decompressing from releasing the new vid and working on power, material grind, and research. Come hang out! twitch.tv/krakenfall
The idea of floors and walls for the factory is not optics or stability but rather reducing render buffer. When having a lot of animations going on putting down some walls can increase your fps like crazy.
I tend to let satisfactory run over night just grinding a way storing up resources, and if you like zooping, you really need to see the !smart mod.
lol you suck! Trying to make money off of Josh's videos rehashing his old videos for some stupid reaction... Dude grow up and get a job with your click bait nonsense... you're pathetic
You had some desync at the beginning of the video just letting you know
If you dismantle the space elevator then rebuild it it will redo the animation if you want to see it personally.
"I'm going to redo everything..." There's nothing more permanent than a temporary setup.
This made me lol
Conversely, there's also nothing so temporary as a permanent setup
The beauty of Satisfactory is that the map is so big you can just leave old factories as relics and just move to a new place and start over.
That said, I have ripped up my old factory 3 or 4 times and ended up with a massive storage warehouse for every item in the game with a production factory on top. Some might call it a mega factory.
5x Industrial Containers for each item overflow (using smart splitters) into producing next tier items items until everything is full or saturated and then items overflow into Awesome Sinks.
It started out well but now it's turning into a black hole for FPS lol.
My advice is:
• Build spread out modular factories making just a few types of items.
• Give yourself A LOT MORE SPACE than you think you'll need.
• Embrace using logistics floors and conveyor floor holes (when you start using foundations) to do all your belt and pipe logistics. It keeps things looking nice and tidy on the production floors.
• Don't be afraid to tear things down and rebuild.
• Have fun building however you like.
Hour 5: Ad hoc
Hour 500: "I should really subtract that hoc."
I've told myself, this factory is really well designed. Won't be needing to tear this down.
1 week later
Tears the ENTIRE building down to start all over. I've done this 4 or more times with starter iron factory, not to mention any of the other factories I have around the world for aesthetic reasons.

you should automate from the beginning yes, but many things take a longer time to be built in a machine then when you build it yourself, so it's best to start automating at the beginning but also to build stuff at the workbench at the same time.
Also if you get the smart splitter you can tell it to send overflow to another conveyer belt when your storage is full for example so instead of blocking your belts it will get sent to the awesome sink. Also it's a good idea to smelt stuff you find in crash landings, like computers.
Only things I craft instead of automating atleast until I have coal power is ingots and biomass takes an extra few hrs to get to coal but ehh works for me
100% agreed. I just got the smart splitter, but I haven't set it up because I'll be moving all my supplies soon.
@@Krakenfall nice. I'd suggest building alot of foundation, putting splitters in the mittle to build like a main line and then have Constructors on each site.
You then put conveyer belt lifters on each site and do a line above the Splitters for the output so you basically have an input -> construct -> output system that you can extend forever.
@@alexpena4091 Only things I automate instead of hand-craft at least until I have coal power is smart plates because the game forces me to... takes an extra few hrs to get to coal but ehh works for me. :-)
Imkibitz also makes awesome Satisfactory builds... But they're the complete opposite of Josh.
He did not handle watching Josh very well, lol.
ImKibitz and Josh are the hero and villain of Satisfactory
@@sethb3090 I don't know, Kibitz doesn't seem very villainous.
Always remember the reason Egypt is a giant litter box, is because they stopped worshipping cats. All hail our fur ball overlords lol :)
You will actually find out where the pod goes in a later video from josh!
From here, madness sets in. You have been warned
Krakenfalls videos are so chill
i took a break from Satisfactory since update 5, with update 6 am tempted to go back again but i think am gonna go back later.
Not sure if your chat told you during your stream but purity of minerals affects mining output. Also hyper tube is alot of fun.
I get that. I take breaks from games just so I don't get burned out and can jump back in for another binge (Subnautica for example). For the mineral purity - yep. I spent a while looking for pure nodes, but ended up just using what I had with overclocks. I hope to eventually snake some belts from pure nodes to my base and put all the ore processing together.
@@Krakenfall if you intend on starting a new game try starting in the mountain area instead, that Biome has the most pure nodes along with trees for wood. The desert has plenty of normal nodes but lesser trees.

I'm looking forward to you finding new ways to describe your existence for the next 50 LGIO videos lol
Once i saw Josh's tornado conveyor 🌪️, it felt like meeting with game's final boss. Haha
i recommend building multiple factories spread out across the world. If you do everything in one factory it will create a lag monster
The Hoverpack and power lines are my go to for tall builds, you need never walk again. Also the frame rate issues are no longer a thing, they really up'd their game with optimization.
His playthrough of Astroneer is ridiculous as well.
Coffee stain adds "soft collision" me let the spaghetti belts flow whilst listening to children of the omnisciah
Another one of my favorite playthroughs of Josh’s is his Planet Zoo series. It’s actually what got me started on his channel. I’d love to see you react to some of those too if you get the chance. They’re a good laugh.
Maaaan... I hate the fact that I always need to make double takes when I look at your webcam, cuz you look like Markiplier and I get confused every f-ing time!
Nice vid and I love your content! Hope to see more from you.
This man is everything under the sun
There is a Paint gun still, but it's functionality has changed
You no longer use it to paint buildings, you use it to put icons on things now
Jump pads now have an arrow arc to them so you can aim them better
I just heard about what you did with the awesome shop with your items, it hurt my heart! Just have an overflow for each material storage so that you're only turning 'extra' stuff into tickets
Good idea! I'll probably do something like that when I rebuild the base. Question: how do you do an overflow if the input flow for the item is slower than the storage output? Do you use the ai splitter or whatever the one after the smart splitter is called? I don't have that one yet.
@@Krakenfall the smart splitter already has an "overflow" selection. The only thing the programmable would add is multiple filters per output branch.
I color code my factory systems for the type of material they mine and process. It makes things easier at a glance.
I've tried to colour-code stuff in the game, but i always find i run out of colours... What's your table of associations?
Also, how do you handle stuff like stators, that use *_both_* iron/steel _and_ copper?
On my latest game I made it to coal power and I have like 4 coal generators down, but my biggest issue is always power until I get to that point. I get a biofuel production line going so I just shove my wood and leaves into boxes and the factory makes biomass and then biofuel so I can quickly feed all my burners, but when you start automating everything right away, it just eats through your fuels so quickly, it makes me anxious, I start rushing around so to not waste time and then I have to stop playing because I get motion sick. On my last game, I only got this far because I only automated the basic 1:1 manufacturing, like turning one thing into another and made all the assembly by hand until I had power generation automated so I don't have to worry so much about gathering biomass. I don't know why, but it just really stresses me out. And now, with coal coast up and running, I can work on branching out the automation completely stress free
I got coal in this week's stream and it's AMAZING (after I fixed all my power spike issue oof). I have 14 biomass burners because I was saving coal to do on stream and it was a royal pain in the butt
7:15 ...and without floors too!
From Automation fan (nerd) to Automation Enjoyer (gigachad)
i love the fact that you were the one who started the lets game it out reaction
Are more people jumping on it? I hope LGIO get's a huge bump because of it. That's awesome
@@Krakenfall yes
Existential crisis incoming.....
Also, you can remove, and rebuild the elevator to get your animation.
I've always thought it, but this dude HAS to be Wranglerstar's long lost son.. looks just like Cody but 25 years younger imo.
You can tell by the wording of the title that Clint is starting to go insane.
ngl that was a 5am title...but you're not wrong lol
Around the 7 minute mark you get excited about the idea of a floating factory. I did too when I first saw this. I have an endgame flying factory, you should check it out sometime. I painted it purple, so I call it "The Flying Purple Spaghetti Factory". I would gladly give you a tour of the madness, DM me and we can exchange gamer tags if interested. You could even stream it if you want the drive mad the people suggesting you use foundations, lol.
13:13 "now"?!? Pretty sure the lifts were available in the original version... or Update 2 at the latest. :)
Oh, and it's unfortunate that josh never explained his (understandable) confusion at 7:53 about "smelting" limestone, that would've been interesting to see you react to his "sheesh" moment. ^^
I can't believe you are still not using foundation in tier 4 or 5 :o I usually rush Coal Power to eliminate the Biomass maintenance and by that point everything is already on foundations.
I would totally go crazy to think that I'll take down everything once I/you decide to place it on foundations!
😅yeah...It will be nice to get everything built up with foundations. I knew I'd get hyperfocused on making things too perfect if I indulged in foundations immediately, so I went for prototyping automation first over aesthetics.
@@Krakenfall building on land only is absolutely just prototyping, you'll need lots more (vertical) space when you get to the later production chains. ;-)
As coined by Peter Jackson on the set of Lord of the Rings, the opposite of a miniature is a bigature.
you should focus on making the space elevator parts so you unlock the coal plant in tier 3.
this way you dont have to worry about feeding the power generators and you can just hook up some storage and let it produce parts while you sleep. easy way to get a good amount of parts to play around with.
We just did that in this week's stream! It'll be in episode 4 of the let's play series (or it's in the vod on twitch). I didn't even think about afk farming production. Good idea!!!
@@Krakenfall it will for sure make your life as content creator easier XD . also go hunt for wrecks. thats where you find harddiscs for new recipes. the higher tier you reach the higher tier recipes you get. highly recommend getting some while rather low tier so you can get better recepies for the basic parts. you will change your production setups alot so dont grow attached to them 😀
14:20 oh god i can never unsee that
Oh...I literally just got the joke. *whoosh* 🤦♂️
That's where I made my factory, too
"Biomass is really annoying"
That's why i always rush coal power :P
I really hope you’ve watched what he’s done to satisfactory. It’s beautiful chaos
I kind of wish there were personal elevators to use in the game, as much as I love hyper tubes and using conveyer belts as escalators
Until then, ladders work just fine, and like the belts they don't use up any power either. :-)
@@irrelevant_noob I keep falling off ladders I wish there was a button prompt
@@Poke-ladd idk i've never FALLEN off ladders, they only let me go away if i jump away by actively pressing space... 🤷♂
@@irrelevant_noob well it’s more like how do I get down, maybe I built mine one lvl too low or too high
@@Poke-ladd oh, i don't use ladders to "get down", i have gravity for that. xD (And the handy jetpack to cushion the impending sudden stop at the end.)
Hey Krak, if you want to replace a belt with a newer version but not want to rebuilt everything, just select the new buildable belt and aim at an existing belt.
That one was bugging me in the last vid. 😀
This is the game that got josh going on conveyor belts
I love this game - I really enjoy open ended games where I can do what I want. Have you tried The Forest? Its also very sandboxy build/survival game but it does have a story.
Color gun is no longer in the game; color patterns can now be set without needing to make color cartridges. That was actually the thing that got me to switch over to the Experimental Branch.
After watching both lets game it out and graystillplays i am basically a combo of gsps love for murder and lets game it outs chaos levels
Its really rare to see a multiplayer satisfactory playthrough, please do it 🙏
Hah, Automation Enjoyer, that's a good one
That cats name is Hobbes? As in "Calvin & Hobbes"? Well done.
One my first trys. I didn't know that your really only need one I went out of my way and built like 40 something space elevators but the animations of a bunch getting ready uhhh. Yes.
Josh is master of chaos.
Yes this was around Update 2 I believe. and we are on Update 6 now and a lot of things have changed dramatically
You can tell by the build number in the top left. This was 0.1[.]01... :-B
about foundations, you will hate yourself that you didnt do it sooner. once you get to 4 item inputs...
Yeah...I just found out about manufacturers today...🤦♂️
I found spot next to my rod factory 8 iron deposita next to each other
16:51 wait for the next part... and the one after...
If you want some good satisfactory chainsaw content, I think the best video for that is valefisk's "mass deforestation in satisfactory", although it's a very long video, of highlights from the stream.
My favorite is using power lines to power a proximity based electric jet pack
you mean a hover pack?
@@irrelevant_noob yeah I think so, been a while since I played, that sounds right
