in most games sure, in satisfactory the rail placement is jank, and the train schedules are waaay too inflexible for my taste. They're glorified belts that take extra fuel.
I'm new here on this channel but I loved it, the way you work is incredible, I went straight to your Patreon and I've already signed up so I can check out the save, man, that's incredible, and sorry for the Google translator, I'm Brazilian, it's easier to write in my native language and translate this than "trying" to write in English
Bauxite is my favorite part of the game, I love pipes. Working on a Distilled Silica facility rn, its a dope project the byproduct recipes are awesome! Way more interesting than bulding the same manifold 500 times just for different materials.
I’m doing the same thing rn. How did yours go? I’m distilling for a massive amount of silica to use in everything but mostly aluminum. 16 fully overclocked 😅
I turned 480 bauxite into 240 sheets and 160 casings, so far this has lasted me all the way tot he end of phase 4, I used them for mk5 belts ofc, but now also for RCU's, fused modular frames and turbomotors (cooling units require heatsink aka sheets) and I STILL have leftover/min to build everything that costs both rescources
FYI for the belting (example around 11:10) you can just double click without moving your cursor once you see the starting point of the belt snap. This works 99% of the time if the space between connections is as close as possible without clipping. Will save some wrist pain if when your ever snapping belts for an hour straight.
Fluid that is loaded from above takes priority over fluid loaded from below, so you have to use a valve to ensure that your byproducts are used. If you instead load the extra from the bottom, you don't need a valve to ensure your byproducts are used first
instead of doing the valve-from-the-top with still some possibility to fail - i would rather split the first refinery into two: one gets only the 80 of fresh water and the other one is 120 of only residue water. this way is 100% fail-proof and used to work without jams for 50+h in my previous playthrough
15:48 To make it less awful, I'd recommend adding a pump between an output and a junction. Otherwise, this setup is a lot more prone to clogging up when something goes wrong and some of the aluminum isn't consumed since water from below go in both directions, and you absolutely don't want it to go back into the output of a refinery. You may use a valve, but they reset a headlift and, from my experience, weird things happen with priority junctions when there's no headlift.
You can never take a Factorio player away from their game. Tbh, whenever I play satisfactory I just think "damn, I wish this was like in Factorio where it is much better" ESPECIALLY trains
Not sure if someone mentioned it or not but that bug with the Blueprint where it builds from a distance might be caused from fly mode if you don't disable fly mode before using the blueprint it might calculate from your last interaction/position or something. Not sure but just a thought.
Never had that happen to me in my current playthrough without advanced settings. I guess you're right that it has something to do with flying or with advanced game settings in general.
@@slayerwillie2020 I'm aware. But it doesn't have conveyor holes, that's why I asked. The video shows (17:32) that it highlights one of the conveyor elevators, and the cost is 170 duralumin sheets, it turns out that this conveyor elevator is solid.
It's "Advanced game settings". Basically Cheat Mode. Great for demonstrations. But be careful. Once you activate it on a save that's it. That save now has advanced game settings enablend and achievements disabled.
Concrete is not used for anything in large quantities and hardly give any points. You would build a useless factory for no purpose. I'd much rather recycle the water so I need fewer pumps and pipes
Wet Concrete is used when you want the build to be able to stop without locking up, or if you need the concrete for the new steel beam/pipe alternates. The alternative is to sink the excess aluminum, which is what Nilaus aptly demonstrated.
@@Nilaus Encased Beams, Heavy Encased Frames, Encased Uranium/Plutonium Cell, Singularity Cell, and New recipes stated by Asureaskie, Building Foundations and structures. So I don't see how concrete is not used in large quantities. Concrete has so many uses in both recipes and construction.
For what reason? So it doesn't make you sad? He played hundreds of hours of this game and fly mode is just a (albeit - cheaty) way to avoid pointless micromanagement in a series that does not really concentrate on a survival aspect, because it's more of a tutorial.
I stopped watching when you insisted an alternate recipe for your module. (1) I don’t have that unlocked and (2) you’re not actually showing how to solve the silica byproduct issue in a modular fashion.
@@gus.smedstad It may be a bit late, but you can reroll a hard drive an infinite number of times. Analyze hard drive -> save -> roll. Not the right recipe -> load save
@@gus.smedstadthe choice you're making is not going out and exploring to get more hard drives, which are an essential part of the game. there's more hard drives than recipes, so you can't miss the one that's required for this build. if you don't have it, that's entirely on you
Who has all the materials you explored in flight-Mode? D you ever made a blueprint without flight mode. Nearly impossible until flight is possible, What you're showing is endgame stuff and not a tutorial.. Noone can build what you're showing when not in Endgame. 😞
Building Blueprints is finnicky, but definitely doable without a hover pack (or fly cheat). Just put some lookout towers around your blueprint designer and use a jetpack.
Making blueprints without flight is not impossible, what a ridiculous thing to say. None of this is endgame stuff, nor is this series a tutorial for beginners. If this is your first time playing, you're better off discovering the game yourself rather than trying to copy experienced players and complaining that you can't follow.
huh? It's not even hard without flying mode, it's just frustrating because you have to move around and correct more. Annoying and the hover pack is a blessing, but not "almost impossible".
@@Julian-br7wb You know me???? Iplayed this game since its first day. . I am an interested viewer that's all. And no, I don't want to copy his factory, cause it's a pain in the ass, in an early state of the game without his collected materieals and without flight.
That long pause when the pipes didn't line up perfectly got me 😂😂😂
My brain broke a little on not having a reason to use trains. Trains exist therefore they are used. Great series, thanks!
The only argument needed for using trains is that trains are awesome, trains is life, and there is nothing better than trains.
I couldn't say it any better ❤
Also bring resources for the bus from far away. In any case Train>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bus

Thank you for providing this layout. I was able to reproduce and now have very efficient aluminum production! I left you a tip :)
I love that you left in the clap sync at the beginning. It's a nice little peek behind the scenes :)
I am not sure it was a clap for sync reasons. There is nothing to sync to the audio.

We made it to Aluminum for the first time. . . Really wanting to go hunt down some recipies now.
"in the tube, five by five" man now i wanna see you do an xcom playthrough haha
I had a thought the other day. With 2 Refineries out of 3 somerslooped you could match the ratio of water needed to make a closed loop.
waste of somersloops. Much more important things to use them for. They are limited and all are allocated better than Alu
It's funny how the guy that came up with the name Aluminium, changed it to Aluminum.Then changed it back to aluminium. 0:22

This design cannot jam, so no reason do do anything else. It has been running without problem since I added it

Valves do not reset headlift, Only buffers and pumps do.

I never saw someone who did Main bussing in Satis. But ofcause I would knew someone. Well its Nilaus... ofcause it is him xD. Well done mate :)
You don't have to worry about pipes from top or bellow. Just use valves and your factory will never jam.
Curious how many meters high the beams are on the 5x5 preset template
Alumi-numi-num 😂

I don’t play with advanced anything and I’ve seen this happen for my save!
Sorry, but its "In the PIPE, Five by Five" Great video's though and still appreciate the SC reference!
Maybe don't remember as it was two weeks ago but what is the hexcode for that aqua color in this video? Absolutely love it
What type of pillars are you using for your templates??
veery good
17:20 How did you make the long conveyor elevators? I didn’t see any interfloor openings.
if you use a conveyor floor hole, it can ignore distances. the material cost will increase as the lenght increases at the normal rate
@@slayerwillie2020 I'm aware. But it doesn't have conveyor holes, that's why I asked.

what do you think about instant scrap?
Trains because choo choo
Once i made 1,920/min Aluminium Ingots by mining all the red forest and titan forest bauxite.
My current production plan requires nearly 4000/min I’m scared 😅
Pumps are valves.
But you can't limit a pump to 80 as is needed
@@Nilaus Thanks, good call.
👏
Do you have a masterclass series for satisfactory?
What are you watching right now though.
No, and he explained why at the beginning of the series
How were you flying so soon in 1.0? I thought mods don't work yet? I hate building in first person...

can you not make a water tower then the pumps exist solely on the towers side and are not required in the build blocks.
You can do that in your design if you so wish! Also i think valves of any kind reset elevation so feeding water from below would be imposible.
@@mrShift_0044 Valves do not reset elevation.
Loss of yield with both sloppy and pure alt recipes is not acceptable.
Is anone else triggered by alclad sheets essentially just being aluminium clad aluminium plates whaich is just aluminum plates
Aluminum > Aluminium
Aluminium isn't a word. Sorry. Literally just adding extra letters for no reason lol.

You choice to play on hard mode by deliberately not using recipes of the game. The point of alternate recipes is to be used
