for the first tip, you can press e + TAB at the same time, then TAB again to leave the inventory and now you don't need to hold E to take leaves, it is the same for minerals deposits
Wow! That sound even better. Thank you for sharing :)
Btw for mineral deposits, you just have to tap 'e' once and you'll mine as long as you face the rock/deposit.
You literally just tap e and you manual mine perpetually
Thanks for these tips. 200 hours in and several of them are new to me.
It's interesting how the game surprises even the most seasoned of gamers :)
Cheers!
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!
Yes, makes switching between foundations or belts very fast. Glad I could help. Cheers:)
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:)
Cool video, hope you continue to grow your channel
Thank you :) There's plenty more content coming up. Stay tuned.
The video script is below:
Hey everyone! Welcome to my Satisfactory tips video. Let's get started on tips in the order of their usefulness as you begin a new game.
1. First things first, you're going to need a lot of leaves for early game. So go near some, point your cursor over it and press and hold "e" key. Now just run around with "e" held and you'll automatically pull in all the leaves you hover over. No need to press "e" repeatedly on each patch of leaves.
2. When running on flat ground or downward slope with the shift key held or pressed (check the options menu), hold "c" to slide. Jumping with space while in this state causing your character to jump higher and move faster. Just keep holding "c" and tapping space to do this dance to move faster than normal.
3. Press "n" to bring up an interface where you can type and search for information on any item. It'll take you to the codex page with information on the item. If you're searching for a buildable, you will enter build mode with that buildable.
4. Furthermore, with "n" you can do some maths. Wanna know how many coal generators a 300 unit water pipe will feed? Just do some math here, without having to alt-tab out of the game. Neat eh?
5. Press "q" to bring up the build menu. While here access the different types of building from the left tab. Also, press the number keys to assign those buildables to the corresponding hot-bar slot.
6. Ran out of hot-bars? No problem! Just use Alt + mousewheel up/down to change them.
7. There is a world grid. As in foundations you lay down can be aligned to the world grid so that different sections of your factories can be smoothly connected together. To do this, hold "ctrl" while building a foundation. Note that, if you already have foundations down, the new one will snap to it. So you might have to remove that one first.
8. Regarding foundations, never use the 1m high foundation when starting to set up the ground-level of your factory. Only use the 2m or the 4m high foundations. They cost the same, but the 1m one has a small vertical offset that can cause alignment issues if you care about that kind of stuff. It's okay to use the 1m one after you've set up the base with the other foundations.
9. While on the topic of foundations, you can change between the foundation types to build by holding "e" to open the radial wheel menu. This works not only for foundations but many other building as well, like this here conveyors, pipes and power poles and so many others. Check 'em out!
10. For foundations and pipes, hold or press "r" to change build mode. Zoop allows you to build a row of foundations or walls. Like so!
11. To avoid running into situations where you want to build a bunch of stuff but you keep forgetting what you need or keep running out of materials in your inventory, use the To-do list, accessible from the build menu by clicking the plus sign and inputting the number of buildables you desire. Their costs will be displayed to the right of the screen and the game even shows you whether you have the materials or not. You can also access the to-do list from the craft menu. Like so!
12. Press "o" to access the codex that contains information about parts and buildings, including recipes and alternate recipes when you unlock them.
13. Speaking of crafting, while at the manual craft bench or the workshop, just press "space" once to start crafting. No need for a brick or your phone or whatever paper-weight you're thinking of utilising for a hands-free experience.
14. A little building tip for when you're starting out: Hold "ctrl" while building outside of foundations to line up, say your smelter with your miner or your constructor with your smelter. On foundations, hold "ctrl" to snap buildings next to each other. Useful for creating that compact smelter line. Cool!
15. In this game, fuel is only consumed proportional to your power usage. As in, fuel is never wasted. So make sure you build lots of bio-mass generators and fill them up with fuel. If your generating potential is 400MW but you only consume 100MW, then every biomass burner consumes fuel at 1/4th the normal rate. So this greatly reduces the frequency of uh "baby-sitting" that your generators need. Also it prevents you from having to hear that beautiful sound.
16. In the beginning, try to aim for the obstacle-clearing milestone for that cool sexy chainsaw, obviously, but more importantly, the solid biofuel which is more efficient than regular bio-mass.
16.1 A bonus tip regarding biomass, if you're starting out in the grasslands biome, like I did, then this section here contains a lot of wood which gives you a lot more bio-mass than just leaves. Make note of this place if you decide to choose the grasslands. It's south of one of the possible starting base locations, past the fart-rocks, near the fart-bugs, actually.
17. When the interface for one of your buildings like smelters or bio-mass burners is up, just press 1, 2, 3, or any of the number keys to slot in corresponding material into the machine. This is very useful for re-fuelling a bunch of bio-mass burners really quickly.
18. This also works when you have your menu open. Press the number keys to equip corresponding item onto your person.
19. Right-click an item stack to halve it. Hold right-click for an interface that lets you choose amount to split. Shift-click to transfer to other window, Ctrl-click to move entire stack of items to the other window.
20. Similarly drag and drop items into the trash can icon to delete them. Ctrl-drag the item to delete all stacks of that item. An example use: getting rid of iron ore that gets clogged in your inventory when you're re-designing your iron ore smelter setup.
So now, we move on some combat and exploration tips.
21. While fighting hogs, jump and attack them from above. If you're near cliffs, make sure you don't get head-butted off the cliff. Yes that happens sometimes.
22. Spitters' projectiles lead you. So move in a zig-zag pattern and not a straight line as they will predict where you will be and you will get hit if you don't change trajectory.
23. Beware the black and white cat-head or for those afraid of leaping cats, the giant spiders, that like to leap at you causing 4 health segments worth of damage. Inhalers are highly necessary to fight these guys, because berries and nuts will not suffice. They are relentless. The scariest variant of this is the toxic fart cat-head which as the name I gave it suggests, farts toxic gas on your face. Best of luck, you're going to need it!
24. Always, always carry some iron plates, rods and concrete with you when you head out to explore. You'll need them for personal storage boxes, storage containers and foundations/ramps.
25. For vertical travel early on, use storage containers which come with ladders built on them, then later use stackable conveyor poles, and finally use factory ladder purchased from the awesome shop. You can also use lookout tower to get higher up and dismantle everything as you move forward.
The rest of the video script in the reply below.
26. Complete the Tier 1: Field Research milestone to get access to the map, shortcut key: "m". This awesome tool allows you to place markers and notes for your favourite locations on this beautiful alien planet. Later on, you'll get the radar towers to show you a lot more information on the surrounding areas.
27. Regarding the MAM, make sure to look at the available research options, some of which will add extra inventory slots, which is mighty useful.
28. Once you have your factory producing basic items like iron plates, rods, screws and maybe reinforced iron plates and rotors, you might want to go out and explore the world. There are exotic resources to be found and samples brought back to the MAM for research either from resource rocks that yield limited supplies or from resource nodes themselves which yield infinite supply. Quartz is used for Blade runners, the super-speed-mode-thingy, Caterium for smart splitters so you can start using sushi-belts and Sulphur for having bombastic times!
29. Explore crash sites for hard drives that unlock alternate recipes in the MAM. You'll need various resources like screws, solid bio-fuel, rotors, modular frames and in some cases higher materials like motors, encased industrial beams, heat sinks and more for opening these containers and sometimes also power. For power, just build some temporary bio-mass burners and dismantle them later when done. There are some very useful alt. recipes for early game like the cast screws, that allows turning iron ingots directly into screws without needing to turn into rods first, and the stitched iron plates if you don't like the idea of requiring hundreds of screws.
30. Collect slugs and research in the MAM to unlock over-clocking and under-clocking of machines. Overclock your miners to produce more resource per minute and underclock you assemblers if they're running at less than 100%, which lets be honest is definitely going to be the case, starting out, don't lie to me!
31. If you're under- or over-clocking your machines, note that you don't have to mess with the slider if you don't want to. Just type in the parts per minute on the target production or type in the % manually. The game will adjust the other value accordingly. Cool huh?
32. If you want to stay alive in this alien land, you need to know one thing. Hold on to you nuts... Yes, the nuts you've been picking off the plants of course, what did you think I was talking about? If your health bar is full, then falling from great heights will leave you with half health segment remaining. If not at full health, then well, you know... Always carry a full stack of nuts or berries with you whenever you step outside your base.
You don't know what kind of stuff that crawls this place, especially underground areas. [shudder]

early building tips

Now I need a whole video dedicated to just building tips, for here are some for you right now.
33. You can upgrade or downgrade conveyor belts by just selecting the required belt, aiming it at an existing struture and BAM! Same goes for conveyor-lifts, miners and power poles. Sweet!
34. Press "f" to go to dismantle mode to see contents of any container. Neat!
35. Build stackable conveyor poles on the ground to make less messy bases full of conveyor belts going all over the place. You can stack more poles and belts on top of existing ones. Also you can climb them. Cool eh?
36. When you have power to spare and power lines set up wide, use miners and constructors on any unclaimed limestone nodes out in the wild to create concrete and feed it to an awesome sink as you expand your base elsewhere. Or just feed raw ores to the sink. That also works. Good passive awesome points generated = cool rewards like the ladder I talked about or the conveyor floor holes, or wall mounts or wall power sockets.
Now I know, I promised 36 tips, for there's just so much more, I have to go for bonus round.

37. Use Satisfactory calculator website linked in the description below to check out the interactive map that display lots of useful information about nodes, hard drives and so much more.
38. Drag and drop some pale-berries while near a lizard doggo to feed it. This will make it a friendly companion who will sometimes bring you random stuff. There's a whole table with probabilities so just so you know, you can get power slugs. And sometimes nuclear waste. Good stuff!
39. Get the Satisfactory mod manager and the super-useful quality of life mods like: 150/300 Inventory slots mod to expand your inventory so you never have to run around for building materials, Just fly mod to well, just fly, All fluids are gasses mod so you can eliminate all the headache from weird wonky liquid mechanics, which I guarantee you will run into at some point later on in the game, Infinite zoop, which allows 2D zooping for some fast, fast foundation-laying actions and also don't forget, set the creature hostility to passive, so you can thrash those damned spiders without any remorse.
And that's it. Those were my general gameplay tips for Satifactory. I hope you find them useful and let me know in the comments any more that I haven't mentioned here. I'll see you guys in the next one. Look forward to my next video which will be on building tips. For now, check out my crazy shenanigans like this here hero-shooter one, or this explosive one or this sky-base, in case you're wondering why some clips in this video have weird locations, now you know. Like, comment and subscribe if I deserve it. Pioneers, stay efficient!
Great tips!
Thank you. I'm glad I could be of help. Be on the lookout for my other video tutorials and tips on my channel. Cheers!
This is a nice beginner thing but I wouldn't really say there's anything in here beyond your first hundred or so hours
Well, I did say it's for beginners as well as veterans, not just ONLY for veterans. I only have 150 hrs in the game myself and haven't done Plutonium and all, so yeah, the first hundred hours or so is about right. Cheers!
