Satisfactory

My iron smelter array. Total capacity is 9600 iron ingots/minute, using the basic recipe. I actually only have Mk.4 belts, so I can only use the bottom four (of ten) floors... But I like building oversized. The idea was to centralize the production of basic resources (ingots and concrete). Then, the actual factories making stuff could be located more or less anywhere, regardless of local resources. Centralizing the smelting would reduce the many-to-many distribution problem of resources to a many-to-one (resources to smelter) and a one-to-many (smelter-to-factory). But actually integrating the train station was a pain in the ass and not really fun compared to the factory. I have lots of ideas for how I want factories to look and nowhere can I fit three or more train stations. Maybe this is more a Factorio style and Satisfactory is really more about building the factory close to the resources. So I may not actually end up using this lol. That said, everything is blueprinted now, so I may end up using a smaller version of this design in a different factory. The back, with observation tower for scale.

The music is so good! Wish I had splashed out on it sooner!

I don't always like the idea of single big buildings, several buildings feels more industrial to me. I tried to make it fairly walkable.

Everything just looks so good in this game!

I just liked the framing.

This is my biggest build yet, it’s got so much room for activities. I hadn’t built a tier 9 factory yet, so this houses all that. Along with all my new portals and my HUB.

36 refineries to supply 36 fully over-clocked Fuel Gens. This is only the last step.

Next floor is done.... except that I JUST realized upon looking at this picture that I forgot to paint the floor.

WE BACK!

It's nice to finally have a manufacturer so that I can automate the 3 items recipes, it was getting annoying having to do them at the bench.

Just thought this was a nice shot!

Hosting in-laws this weekend, so we're in backlog territory. This was the first build my wife and I did together, about a week into 1.0. Although we only got around to finishing it out last week, after getting steel and signs and such running. Actually, she finished out the buildings, but I'd still like to put some finishing touches here on the Water Extractors.

Hit "N" on the keyboard to bring it up

Got a great start on a new Iron Rod factory today. Mostly because I leaned heavily on blueprinting and repeating the bulk of the work

I'm going to regret staying up this late, but I got the factory done that I started yesterday.

Today was D&D main story night for my wife, so I'm back to my solo save, starting a new long-term factory for Iron Plates and Screws.

Greetings Pioneers! I got my local dedicated server stats added to Home Assistant and wanted to share if anyone else is interested.

Didn't get a whole lot of time today, but I think I can call this one done. I'll probably come back 2 weeks from now to get the trucks running, and find something to redo, but I'm ready to move on, for now.

I ended up spending way more time than I wanted jerking around with the blueprint system, so I still didn't finish the whole Quartz factory. But the only thing left is the depot and shipping wings. The main building, the mine, and the resource transport are all finished.

Because this community deserves more activity.

it's just better this way

Just cant stop expanding my spaghetti’s

As a player since Update 3, it's heartwarming to see new 1.0 players enjoying the game and joining us

I chose this area because I thought that I'd have room to automate all the super early game mats and build my space elevator. Now I'm not so sure. Right now I have iron plates, iron rods, screws, wire, cable, and concrete automated with smelters ready to set up copper sheets the next time I play.

Ficsit does not waste.

Hello!

Ozoned is a well known fediverse based streamer, and I recommend his channel!

But efficiency was the only achievement, and you never truly achieved it.

It's so good.

Opt out of betas, restart steam! 11GB download, lol.

From Friday, sorry falling behind in posting these :/

still a pain to find them. I hate it.

Working on Phase 4, looked up and noticed this. Kudos to you if you can guess where in the map this is just looking at the image.

TOILET PAPER!!! hahahahahah

Back in 2023 I started a new game in #Satisfactory where I did set out (on a whim) to build the #BattlestarGalactica – and fair warning: I never finished it. I found some measurements of this iconic ship from the #BSG verse online, which is apparently something like 1.44km x 551m and converted this to 179.6 x 68.9 Satisfactory Foundations (look Mom, a game made me do MATHS again).
